我上個月才在斯瓦拉姆聲音學院做了一場關於改變意識／改變世界的講座，並提出了一個挑戰。

「瑪赫西效應」指的是一群人聚集冥想，以期對特定的群體或社區產生影響。最常被引用的研究之一是，一次冥想導致底特律的犯罪率在之後的幾週內下降。根據他們的計算，我認為我們只需要 9000 名鑼演奏者就能影響全球 81 億人口。

我希望能在 9 月 21 日提高參與人數，並希望能承諾在每個新月舉辦一次月度活動，以便我們能夠真正有所作為。

請報名參加這個祈典活動，這天也是秋天的第一天，同時也是世界和平日。

I just did a talk last month for Svaram Sound Institute on changing consciousness / changing the world and offered up a challenge.

The Maharishi effect is when a group gathers to meditate to make an impact on a given population or community. The research most cited is one meditation resulting in a drop in crime rate in Detroit for weeks afterwards. Using their calculation I figured that we only need 9000 gong players to impact the global population of 8.1B.

My hope is to boost the numbers on Sept 21 and hopefully commit to monthly events on new moon so that we can truly make a difference.

Pls sign up for the puja day which is also the first day of fall, also world peace day.
