Global Media Coverage of World Healing Day

'One world, one breath'

"What if human consciousness were focused en masse for a 24-hour period not on fear and desperation, but on an intention for personal and global healing," the day's founders asked.

Meeting some of the practitioners this year, one was struck by their diversity. Here, a 12--year-old child stood next to a 50-year-old woman, each coming to the Al-Azhar Park to breathe together with millions of others worldwide. As with many other mass events, the energy of each individual adds to the energy of the whole, and from here came the idea of making the day truly global under the slogan "One World... One Breath".

The World Day also began as part of a larger Global Consciousness Project after research at Princeton University in the US found that during times of great stress human consciousness can focus to such a degree that it can affect the operation of computers around the world.

In past years some Yoga events were melded with World Tai Chi & Qigong Day events which have been held in hundreds of cities in over 65 nations, spanning 6 continents. Other mindful healing practices wished to become part of this extraordinary human event - a wave of global healing intent. This evolved to become World Healing Day.

Events have been covered by CNN, FOX News, BBC World Radio, The South China Morning Post, German International Radio, Parade Magazine, and media worldwide.

Governors of more than half the US States have officially proclaimed events for their states, and senates and legislatures have issued proclamations as well.

Past events have included ones held at the United Nations Building (New York) and the Nobel Peace Center (Oslo, Norway).

Rippling across the world on Saturday, April 24, will be the sound of one collective breath during the 12th Annual World Tai Chi and Qigong Day.

World Tai Chi Day is a part of World Healing Day, which was born out of research at Princeton University found that during times of great tragedy human consciousness focuses to such a degree that it actually affected their computers physically all around the world.
