“A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Social Indicators Research reports on one of the most dramatic sociological experiments ever undertaken. Researchers predicted in advance that the calming influence of group meditation practice could reduce violent crime by over 20 percent in Washington, D.C., during an 8-week period in the summer of 1993. In fact, the findings later showed that the rate of violent crime ~ which included assaults, murders, and rapes ~ decreased by 23 percent during the June 7 to July 30 experimental period. The odds of this result occurring by chance are less than 2 in 1 billion. Rigorous statistical analyses ruled out an extensive list of alternative explanations.

“Meditation allows mental activity to settle down and transcend to a completely silent state, which is the underlying field of consciousness.

“When the mind quiets down to this field level of consciousness, qualities inherent in this underlying field become enlivened in individual consciousness, such as perfect order, balance, harmony, and infinite correlation. As a result, the individual becomes as if a transmitter of orderliness and peace in society, analogous to the way that a television or radio transmitter enlivens the electromagnetic field in a specific manner and then transmits waves through the field that can be picked up at a distance” Source

The DC experiment used a specific form of meditation and involved groups that met in person, all over the globe. However, keeping in mind that everything is made of atoms, and exists as One within the Unified Field, it would seem our physical proximity is not all that relevant. Meditating as an online group could produce similar results. We become a transmitter at the etheric level, influencing the Etheric Field (Unified Field) with our peaceful vibration, thereby influencing everything within it.

Meditation Music

Buddha Maitreya’s Soul Therapy music brings a person to a deep meditative state quickly, and helps one to remain there quite effortlessly. No training or rules with this method! (More information below.)

“As a person relaxes and listens to the ancient universal prayers and invocations in the meditation music, emotions naturally calm down and the mind begins to clear, creating a balancing energetic exchange that results in regeneration and revitalization. The music clears, cleanses and blesses any space.” ~ from Buddha Maitreya Soul Therapy Music

There are meditation groups and individuals around the world, in Dharma Centers and at homes, meditating to this very same music. So we are aligning to a large group. (See the various Dharma Centers here)

The Soul Therapy music aligns the right and left hemispheres of the brain, automatically inducing an Alpha state, which is exactly what happens when one is in a deep state of meditation. It has been said that using this music brings a person to a meditative state that would usually require 30 years of practice.

For a bit more insight (source):

Host: Could you speak a little bit about the benefits of meditation and particularly about group meditation?

HH Buddha Maitreya: It’s a very interesting type that I do that’s a little different than what most people experience. It’s based on the use of the American Indian drum, which I play naturally and is recorded. At the same time another track is then played where I’m using cymbals and Tibetan bells and bowls from Tibet that I use naturally in my Puja’s when I’m sitting and meditating on my own. So I just play that along with the drums. Then on another track I actually do an invocation that I would do in my healing practice, where I’m invoking the Seven Rays or the invocation of the alignment and the healing of chakras to colors and to sound and to certain vibrations that applies to natural laws that are found in esoteric healing.

When you study along those lines, there are very specific laws that are applied to the Law of Love and when that energy is applied and you understand it, it helps to radiate that energy more in a conscious level just in higher mind or higher intuition. So the music actually applies higher mind in the teaching and it applies an intuitive nature that, just by expressing the Truth in the impression, like certain colors, when they come into a room… even in psychology they found that if you paint a room a certain color and you go into that room, it has a direct effect on your emotions and your mind and your sense of well-being and your ability to study or your ability to relax or your ability to sleep or your ability to be calm and not be fidgety. They found that by changing those colors that actually helps change the different vehicles of the body.

Those are laws that are applied in nature that have an effect on us, naturally, in our senses that we’re not consciously aware of. But they’re there. In the higher mind, by applying the relationship of what’s best known around color and it’s relationship to virtue and the relationship of certain qualities and characteristics that are expressed in humanity, those are applied in the Soul Therapy Music. So it’s done in a way to where it’s just a prayer or an invocation that applies those energies and it helps to bring about what’s known as the Science of Invocation and Evocation.

So you really don’t sit there and think logically or try and figure out what the is being said or anything, because there’s a lot of music involved and you’re just relaxing along with it and the teachings are more or less harmoniously going along with the rhythm of the music. It’s more or less a very creative, both right and left hemisphere activity that goes on while you’re meditating so it very much satisfies the energy of the mind and the energy of the emotion, sitting in meditation. The energy of the physical body becomes much more awake and much more alert energetically to allow higher telepathy or intuition to take place.

When you do that in a group level, it actually does effect the harmony of the ability to meditate without the fear of being in relationship to people or being around other people or that you have to be alone in order to gain your best meditation and all that. You actually, in a group, like in a prayer hall or in a large healing group, there’s much more energy in effect due to the Soul having a collective consciousness to it. The intuition of the Soul is much more radiating and receiving.

So if you’re around like-minded people who are meditating, that effects the energy of radiating that healing energy out to the town or benefiting more yourself by other people being benefited. You’re radiating out and helping other people in the room and that’s also a benefit to you and your merit and your energy. So there’s a lot to be benefited by meditating and invocation/evocation and the right use of music and the right use of the energy in the room is based on sacred geometric and sacred objects and sacred paintings like Thangkas.
