World Peace Meditation Day is celebrated throughout the world without the restriction of country, religion, and faith.
In about 150 different countries, people all over the globe celebrate this World Peace Meditation Day.
For the first time, this day was officially celebrated on December 31, 1986, in which as many as 500 million people participated.
The people of Jerusalem were the first to meditate to reduce the effects of wars and bring peace to all. While this was an experiment in the start, later, the studies showed that group meditations did help in curbing the loss of lives and injuries of the war.
The people of Jerusalem who peace meditated in groups to try and control the damage that was being done during the war. As weird as this may sound, the act was just an experiment that people believe resulted in fewer casualties and injuries.
The tradition associated with this world event is simple: to leave all the negativity and bad things in the past and start a new year with hope and peace so that the world can live as one. This is a way to unite all the people irrespective of their country, religion, and faith and meditate for peacefulness that may prevail in the coming year.
A hope of having a more positive and peaceful year ahead, which is not shadowed by the negativity of the past, is what this day's custom is all about.
You might be confused about how you can celebrate this day and participate in this world event. The steps are straightforward: join the peace meditation groups and meditate for world peace. There are several meditation and yoga clubs available for you to subscribe to.
Try and harvest the peace that resides within you and radiate it outwards so that the world can experience this peace and wars can be avoided. If this peace meditation is done in groups, there is a plethora of peacefulness radiated into the outer world; hence people are often found suggesting to do this peace meditation in groups rather than alone.
There is no straight answer to who coined the World Peace Meditation Day, but some people in Jerusalem started the convention of a group meditating for peace during the war in the '80s.
Research shows that group meditation on peace has the strength to make positive change; even some scientists have agreed that peace meditation can have physical results.
You can celebrate Peace Meditation Day by sitting with a group and meditating for world peace, peace within the country, community, and even for the mind and body.
The first time when World Peace Meditation Day was officially celebrated was on December 31, 1986, with over 500 million people participating in it.
