Party !! Group Meditation for World Peace
I noticed the member count today:
Members: 9,827
It's almost time for a little party !
I was wondering if we can do something to celebrate !
Any ideas ?
Here are some of mine:
-A special treat for our 10.000th member
-An action that will make people notice us, something like "meditation day", where we organise and announce a day where all Project Meditation members meditate at the same time, inviting other likeminded spirits to join in.
-A donation made by members to a specific goal, something to make this world a better place ( just think, if only all 10.000 members would donate a dollar )
anyone else have any ideas ?

World Peace is what comes to mind for me. Just think . . .What if we truly thought we could have progress without killing our young people in the process.
Oh please Gus . . .don't get strarted on that!

Let's send PEACE out to all beings!
I love the idea of sending peace to all living beings. We have so much to be grateful for! At the very top of the list, we have the time, the knowledge and these LF tracks to help us meditate and derive all these benefits --well, it blows my mind. So many people in the world have none of these blessings. So many people are suffering, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally, living in war zones, victims of abuse, climatic catastrophes and on and on....
There's no question that prayer works. In fact, whatever frequency we're vibrating at, it's going to affect others. Let's develop love and compassion by sending out prayers for peace to everyone. We could envision the whole world bathed in healing light, aglow with love and generosity. Let's send healing to our planet and all its inhabitants, including the animals! Our world, physically, has been absorbing so much human negativity, no wonder there's climactic disharmony...let's restore that harmony through our group efforts.
And incidentally, we ourselves receive so much good when we send out love to everyone. The energy comes through us and heals us in a powerful way.
I don't mean to proselytize but I really think part of our spiritual mission is to share our love, not just with the people in our address book but with everyone. I think if the human species is to survive we have to deliberately takes steps to restore harmony. What better people to lead the way than a community like this one!
The Buddhist prayer of sending "metta" (loving kindness) is:
May all beings be safe
May all beings be happy
May all beings be healthy
May all beings live with ease.
May all beings be liberated!
Peace

Food for thought
I am happy to put up 5-10 copies of the LifeFlow and Discover Meditation physical packages as prizes, I can also fund some press releases if we can come up with a good idea that gets the message out!
I can email the whole list of members here and arrange a certain time to meditate together! It would be amazing if we could get 10% of members to join in.
Please keep the ideas flowing. Michael

The number of members is growing rapidly, we are allready at 9,917 at the time I am writing this.
We have to act now if we are going through with this, anyone here have any more thoughts on how to do this ?
I was kinda hoping for some more people inhere to give their share

Namaste everyone,
I am definitely up for it. We should continue to celebrate by meditating as a group every year on that day, choosing a time that fits in with nearly everyones time zone to really boost the spiritual energy and bring world peace.
Love and Namaste
Angel

Group meditation
I am fairly new to Lifeflow, although I have meditated at different times in my life and used to do a lot of yoga. Today my neck is rather stiff as doing the Lifeflow stimulated me in other areas of my life and I decided to get back into the yoga! I must be more gentle with myself, still I am pleased that the meditation provided me with the motivation to do it, and I am so much more peaceful.
Anyway, I think the group meditation is a brilliant idea, but like others thought about the different time zones, perhaps we could have 3/4 group meditations in one day and different people do their group meditation when it is good for them, then we all really have a chance to join in and make the world a better place!
This is a great website, I have got so much inspiration from you all, and I also bought 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle last week and see Michael recommends him, the universe works!
Keep smiling through xx 
I love this quote:
"Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there--buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day". Deepak Chopra
