#WorldTaiChiDay was the founding event 20 years ago, which expanded into World Healing Day. Together, as a mind-body family ... we can change the world. World Tai Chi Day was the founder of this global event, and then Qigong groups began to participate. Over the decades other mind-body practices joined in. World Healing Day events include: World Yoga Day; World Reiki Day; World Healing Meditation Day; World Art Day; World Music Healing Day; and the founding event, World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has been officially proclaimed. Purposes of World Healing Day: 1) To educate the world of the profound health & healing benefits of mind-body practices for individuals, communities, and nations 2) To bring together people across racial, economic, religious, and geo-political boundaries, to join together for the purpose of health and healing, providing an example to the world. 3) To connect human consciousness en masse around the world for a 24 hour period each year, focusing on the vision of personal and global health & healing. Scientific research shows that when human consciousness focuses on a singular event worldwide, it actually physically affects the world, as seen in research by the Global Consciousness Project. Research by the TM Foundation in collaboration with universities and the Washington D.C. crime statistics division, found that when a certain threshold of meditators meditated en masse they actually saw a corresponding drop in violent crimes rates (HRA rates, homicides, rapes, and assaults), dropping in conjunction with a rise in the number of meditators. This inspired us to provide a formal day of global meditation involving all the sister events mentioned above, to amplify a physical effect of mind-body practices of all types joining together for this 24 hour period each year to focus on personal and global health and healing, and human connection worldwide, reflected in our event's motto "One World ... One Breath." https://youtu.be/Ns7Fh8F_ydw #worldhealingday #worldsoundhealingday #worldyogaday #worldhealingday2019 #Yoga #Prayer #TaiChi #Qigong #Reiki #Healing Prayer #meditationday #NativeAboriginalSacredDanceDay #Sufi Dance https://www.instagram.com/p/BwwnyDOgrpx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fmnjtwhhsgk3
