Help to Heal the Earth Through meditation
Hello my name is John Davis, and I am on a mission. My mission is to unite as many meditation practitioners as possible in a focused meditation to heal the Earth. I am asking for your help. There is a condition known as the Maharishi Effect- when people are of a like mind and meditate in a major city, the crime rate drops, prosperity rises, and an overall state of well-being prevails. Each of these conditions is a product of the human consciousness and each can be altered with focused intent during meditation. As a meditation practitioner, you probably already know this.
We humans affect our world in a number of negative ways: deforestation, raw materials mining, nuclear waste, landfills, and even a Texas-sized island of trash in the Pacific Ocean that has sterilized the water beneath it. I have created a new CD called “Healing Earth” that is a meditation designed to impart a global Maharishi Effect. The meditation was a channeled writing. It is being offered for only $5.00 to cover manufacturing and marketing costs. It can be found on my website http://www.johnofpeniel.com. My hope is that we can have this meditation spread around the globe to be used during a weekly meditation with the health of the earth as our focus. We ask you to please share this link with as many friends as possible and ask them to do the same. Or make it one of the focus’ of your Meetup group. Together we can create great change to the consciousness of humanity and help heal the only home we have. The more people we get on this mission, the more effective we are at manifesting change.
I thank you in advance for your help in spreading the word and for your loving meditation. Join us at 9:00pm ET every Sunday beginning April 4. After each of the meditations, I invite you to visit the Healing Earth Page, and share your experiences.
Together we can create a community of like-minded people around the world and that will heal not only our earth, but our human experience. ~ John
