Since the group did not produce two feet of snow, just how did they do what was thought so impossible? They prayed and meditated.
This group of individuals knew what they were about to do in D.C. would lower the crime rate. In fact, success was predicted at 25% based on results from 48 previous smaller events in other locations.
Is it possible that prayer and meditation can be measurable? Yes, it is and has been.
It was this story that prompted a small group to take action, put away the "There's nothing that I could possibly do," thoughts, and do something. This small group of individuals has committed to praying or meditating five minutes a day for peace. It could be personal peace, local peace, national peace, world peace. It takes just five minutes a day, any time of the day or night. There are 288 five minute opportunities during a twenty four hour period. That's not asking much on behalf of the world and humanity.
A person does not have to be of a particular belief to spend five minutes a day thinking about peace. And, a person does not have to believe that this will work, just believe that someone else believes it.
Finding five minutes per day or remembering to do it might be the hard part but what to do in that five minutes is easy. There could be as many ways as there are individuals doing it. Repeating a phrase such as "Peace on earth" or "Peace is in, around, and through this planet and its people" or "Peace is flowing everywhere" or "Today I smile at myself and everybody else" or whatever feels right. Some individuals visualize peace and others experience a feeling of peace in some way. All of those work.
It's easy and it works and it doesn't cost anything except five minutes from your day. One person can do it. That one person can tell another person and that person can tell another person. It's easy to see how quickly this "Five Minute Peace Plan" can blanket our planet. Our planet needs a "Global Peace Blanket". Every stitch counts. Every five minutes count. Every person counts. Every individual making an effort for peace will reap the benefits of feeling a peace that begins from within. It's easy.
P.S. Please pass this on. Thank you.
