Global Peace Meditation Instructions
Sitting in concentric circles, hold the
hand of the person on your right with your right hand palm facing down,
signifying 'giving' peace and bliss, while you offer your left hand
palm facing up to 'receive' peace and bliss from the person on your
left. This
connected circle of people generates a powerful energy cycle. The
meditative energy of one person is shared by all others, thus the group
energy amplifes and multiplies extending out into the cosmos and
enveloping all of us in a peaceful energy that has the power to
transform us.
"The way to achieve global peace is to create individual peace."
--Paramahamsa Nithyananda
