Wherever you are in the world, you pause for 8 minutes to meditate or pray for peace, in your heart, your city, our world.
All religions and no religion welcome. We connect “through the ether” by focusing our intention at the same time.
8 minutes of shared presence for peace in your heart, your city, our world.
Cosmic Peace Meditation is a simple weekly ritual:
same day
same time
same intention
People around the world stop for 8 minutes to meditate or pray for peace.
You don’t need to be in the same room.
We connect “through the ether” – by holding the same intention at the same moment.
All religions, all spiritual paths, and people with no religion at all are welcome.
Just humans using their attention on purpose.
Our attention is the most basic thing we control.
What we repeat, we become. What we practice together, we amplify.
From psychology, we know that:
- shared rituals create meaning and belonging
- calm nervous systems co-regulate — we literally help each other settle
- how we feel influences how we act, speak, and decide
If enough people regularly practice inner peace, the default setting of the collective slowly shifts.
We don’t claim guaranteed miracles. We claim responsibility for the quality of our presence — and we see what grows from there.
One person can sit in silence. That already matters. But something changes when people focus at the same moment.
- Around 8 people, many groups report a “click”: more focus, less noise
- In larger numbers, people often feel a stronger, more stable sense of connection
- This doesn’t require physical proximity — only shared time and shared intention
You could think of it as a subtle network: 8+ people connected through the ether, each in their own place, synchronized in purpose.
In 1993, during a large meditation experiment in Washington D.C., researchers reported a significant drop in violent crime while the group was active. The methods are debated — but the peer-reviewed data suggest that collective inner work might have outer effects.
We don’t treat this as dogma. We use it as an invitation:
Your 8 minutes matter more than you think — especially when many of us show up at once.
Every Sunday, at 8:00–8:08 pm in your local time, you pause for 8 minutes. No special posture required. No technique is “correct”. What counts is sincerity — and showing up.
8:00 pm – your local time
Sit down wherever you are — at home, on a train, in a park, with friends.
Silence
Switch your phone to silent. Close your eyes.
8 minutes of attention
For 8 minutes, rest your awareness on peace:
in your own body
in the people close to you
in your city and the wider world
Prayer or meditation
If you pray: pray as if the peace you wish for already exists.
If you meditate: simply hold a clear, quiet awareness.
8:08 pm – done
When 8 minutes are over, you gently return to your day.
There is no single “right” way to join. You can sit alone at home. You can gather with a few friends. You can host a small circle in your city.
- Everyone is welcome
- All beliefs and worldviews are welcome — no conversion, no agenda
- No one interrupts a prayer or meditation
- We don’t argue about beliefs — we practice together
- No pressure. Join when you can. Miss a week without guilt
Every Sunday. 8:00–8:08 pm. Everywhere.
