We began our meditation group in November of 2018 when 18 of us joined together for a prayer Treatment followed by a silent meditation. The idea for the group resulted from a conversation regarding a desire to be of service, “Of doing through being.” We wanted to begin with helping relieve the poverty so prevalent in families in our local area and then moving on to national and international needs as well as local ones.

Research has shown that when groups meditate with a particular intention then dramatic results occur, such as a reduction in violent crime. In order to maximize our effectiveness we encourage our members to meditate and offer prayer Treatment in their own homes daily. We have decided that as many of us as possible will either meditate at 8 a.m. or 8 p.m. daily as the power of the group is increased when we join together, even from a distance, with one intention.

We have continued having a Monthly Meditation on the 4^th Sunday each month. These are being held on Zoom. As we continue to use the power of our group meditation, we continue to meditate daily—9:00 am and 9:00 pm each day. The meditation we use is changed every month.

Meditating together increases the degree of self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism.

Quote from Yogananda: “Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as veteran meditators.”
