Global Meditation

Yesterday I had the privilege of joining over 100,000 people in a global meditation as we joined our energies together to send our intentions of peace throughout the world.

There are no words to describe the sensations I felt as we were led in a beautiful meditation by Deepak Chopra and Gabby Bernstein. India Arie sang her beautiful new song, "I Am Light" as we all joined together in meditation.

Deepak asked as he gently started the meditation, "what does peace mean to you?" A difficult question when I ponder it on a larger scale, but in just my own soul, it means a state of mind to me. Peaceful acceptance of everything in my life, my circumstances, my sufferings, my relationships, my gifts, my thoughts.

The meditation itself was lovely, I was instantly engulfed by multiple energies swirling around my body. Thousands of different energies laid bare my heart chakra with pulse after pulse. It truly was an amazing experience to meditate simultaneously with that many people across the world at one time.

And to be guided through it by Deepak Chopra ~ incredible.

Thousands of energies

Coming together for peace

I lay in solitude

As I give myself over

To the beautiful voice

That soothes my soul

And lulls me into that quiet place

In my soul

What does peace mean to you?

It quietly asks as I breathe in and out

Focus on that peace

Let it surround you and then send it

Out into the world

I feel my heart pulsing

I feel energies rushing through me and around me

A sensation of togetherness 

The beauty of thousands of souls joining together

As one ~

I drift in my peaceful environment

As I send my peaceful intentions to the world

Then I hear the voice

That quietly brings me back from my reverie

Suddenly, I am emotionally overwhelmed

As tears spill down my face

I can still feel my heart pulsing

To the beat of a thousand other hearts

They cannot be controlled

I am overwhelmed with gratitude

For this moment in time

When I was able to offer

Something back

My peace, my love, my all ...

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves ... Dalai Lama

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding .... Albert Einstein

Peace comes from within, do not seek it without ... Buddha
