This guided version of Om Awaken Meditation can be used to lead groups with no previous experience in meditation.
It is an effortless method, that everyone can do right away. It is designed to guide our mind
in settling down and going beyond our busy thoughts, to experience our own place of deep peace within.
Please feel free to use it to lead your group,
to help everyone feel more calm, clear and peaceful.
"When a group of meditators are established, they not only create brainwave coherence for themselves, but also create improved coherence in the
collective consciousness of the whole population."

By simply closing our eyes and being quiet for a while, we can experience a surprising moment of peace and calm.
This sense of peace, then can be taken with us as we move throughout our day. It can help us to remember that we all have a place of calm within our selves to access and pull from, during the challenging times of our life.
When we meditate in a group, this stirs the peace and silence even more and enhances everyone's meditation experience, as well as, enlivens coherence and harmony in the environment.
It also reminds us of a wonderful sense of connection and community.
Tom and Traysi have led group meditations for people of all ages and backgrounds and they have found that most people easily have a natural experience of relaxation, calm and quiet for a few moments. And they often express afterwards, that they are so grateful for a reprieve from the busy-ness of the minds and their lives.
“If enough people were collectively experiencing and stimulating this fundamental powerful field of peace within, there would be a radiated influence of peace, that would affect the behavior of people throughout society.”
- Dr. John Hagelin, Harvard trained Quantum Physicist
The Power of Group Meditation
The Power of Group Meditation
Many studies have shown, that when large groups of people meditate together, there is an influence of positivity and coherence in the social and natural environment.
(The Maharishi effect - https://research.miu.edu/maharishi-effect/).
I was part of a grand experiment in 1993, where 4,000 people came together to meditate in Washington, DC, to see if it would have an effect on the violent crime rate in the city. (See photo. I am about half way up to the right. Can you see me?)
"The online group meditation has been a constant centering experience.
I am so grateful to Tom and Traysi."
- Nancy V., Blaine, WA
After two months of our large group meditating together at a local university campus, the crime rates went down by 23%. This was measured by a 27-member project review board, that included criminologists, the local police department and the government.

I saw for myself, the powerful effect that group meditation
can have on the world around us.
"Believe it or not, there are studies that prove the existence of a ripple effect of peace in the surrounding environment when a group meditates together."

Meditation has so many advantages that it’s become more popular than ever. Health, well-being, and mental processes improve with meditation and, over time, the benefits increase steadily.
If meditation works so well for an individual, perhaps that power is amplified in a group. It could accelerate and expand everything.
Let’s go into the possibilities. Read More
