Why 8000?
Studies in group meditation have shown that the number of people required to effect a change in a given population is the square root of one per cent of that population. Given a world population of six billion, we calculate that we need a network of 8000 individuals to reduce levels of stress on a global scale.
We actually anticipate a far greater participation than 8000 but its a good starting point! Have a look at the participants page to see how far we have got.
