September 21 is World Peace Day, and the Institute of HeartMath's Global Coherence Initiative has created Global Care Rooms (GCR) to give people a place to go to focus their energy on positive things, according to the Huffington Post. The rooms gather people to focus positive thoughts, meditations and prayers directed towards specific causes.
These rooms allow people to connect with each other with focused intentions in real time as part of a research project created by the Global Coherence Initiative. They are researching the hypothesis that focused group consciousness benefits the people participating in the positive focused energy, as well as the target cause or person.
This is a project that people can practice on their own or with their family and friends as well. You can host your own World Peace Day event and practice focusing positive energy towards a person or cause that is important to you, or set aside time each day for meditation, where you can do the same thing individually.
Global Care Rooms existed as an online application before the study began. However, it has recently expanded with the creation of a version for mobile devices that can also be accessed through Facebook.
World Peace Day was first celebrated in 1982, and it a day marked in many countries, as well as political groups and military groups. It's a day set aside for the absence of war and violence.
The United Nations Peace Bell is usually rung at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The bell was cast from coins that were donated to the United Nations from all continents but Africa as a gift from the United Nations Association of Japan and has the inscription "long live absolute world peace."
This year, the day was dedicated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to peace education, which is considered the most important measure to prevent war.
