Hong Kong joins a worldwide meditation for peace

HONG KONG will be part of the biggest simultaneous meditation for peace, organized by the “International Foundation of The Art of Living”. Meditation will take place in over 100 countries on the same day to promote a global message of violence-free society.

The Planet Meditates 2014 is a world initiative of simultaneous meditation in 300 cities including New York, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Madrid, New Delhi, Moscow and Cairo...  Meditators will gather to promote peace and happiness, denounce force and conflicts.

In 2012, 2013, same event brought together more than 150,000 people. This is part of the international agenda that The Art of Living Foundation fosters to achieve its vision: “A disease-free body, a stress-free mind and a violence- free society”. The occasion also supports the “International Day of Peace” declared by the United Nations to commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace in all nations.

Attendees of The Planet Meditates 2014 will practice calming their mind beyond problems; developing positive thinking to improve emotional balance and well-being. 

The main goal of this activity is to promote peace in our minds as a way to achieve peace in society. It is scientifically proven that the emotions are contagious. If a significant number of people join to practice mentally calm and content,  they will make an impact in the community. Scientific research shows that meditation modifies areas of activities in the brain. The activity in the right side of the brain - which control stress and anger - move to the left side; calm and joy may  prevail.

About breathing and meditation 

Regular practice of breathing and meditation reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), lowers high-blood pressure and decreases muscle pain, headaches and ulcers. It also eliminates anxiety, panic attacks, depression and insomnia.

What is Meditation?

Feeling fresh and alive is meditation.

Going back to that state of serenity, which is our nature, is meditation. 

Happiness and absolute joy is meditation.

A pleasure without excitement is meditation.

Emotion without anxiety is meditation.

Unconditional love and food for the soul is meditation!
