In the 1980s, one of the highlights of every year for me was the December 31 World Peace Meditation, known also as the World Healing Day, World Instant of Co-operation, and World Peace Day. It was a time for people all over the world to gather in meditation for world peace and world healing.
Word of it first circulated in 1984, and although the creators of this event designated 1986 as the time for it to start, many of us began holding the gathering in 1984 in our local areas. By 1986 it was in fact a worldwide event.
This one hour group meditation was so very powerful to experience. It was held at the same time all over the world (noon Greenwich time) and the group energy that was created was multiplied so many times over. Imagine yourself linked in meditation to millions of people with the intent of creating peace and healing all over the world! It was an uplifting, inspiring, and healing experience.
I don’t know how many people still celebrate World Healing Day, but I would like to encourage everyone to join in this year, whether it is by yourself or with a group. The website of the original founders, The Quartus Foundation, is at http://www.quartus.org/WorldHealingDay.html There you can find more information, as well as locations where the event is being held if you want to join with a group for the meditation.
I would love to see the World Healing Day spreading again to the numbers that participated in it years ago, and even beyond. You can help spread the word about it, join with a group, or meditate on your own (although not alone!). Every bit you can do is important – one by one we make up those millions of people. And if you do join in, I hope you find it as powerful, healing, and joyful as I have.
