The solution to world problems lies directly inside of us. Just by simply BEING (rather than DOING) we can connect with the infinite universe inside of us and help to heal not just ourselves but the whole planet. This knowledge comes from an ancient tradition that is thousands of years old.
Scientific studies have revealed that when only one percent of the population meditates, this is enough to eliminate stress in the surrounding community and to improve the quality of life for all. By raising world consciousness, we bring about world peace.
The TM movement has done an impressive amount of scientific research studies on this subject and they currently have an ambitious plan for permanent world peace. For further information you may contact http://www.tm.org.
A SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE MEDITATION TECHNIQUE: Close eyes, relax and focus on your breathing. Don't try to control it. Just observe. As your mind wanders, gently go back to focusing on your breathing. Do this for up to half an hour.
