There’s a lot of somewhat surreal research on the soothing effect of group meditation on individuals. Indeed, many regular practitioners of communal meditation say they experience an amplified sensation of peace and tranquility, which they often attribute to the power of the group.
“When connecting collectively, it’s not uncommon for people to leave group meditation and feel a strong intention for world peace.” senior meditation teacher Erica Jago has noted.
Whatever the explanation for this experience, it’s clear many people share this sensation of heightened empathy and peace while practicing communal meditation. If you’re interested to see what it’s like for yourself, then there’s only one way to do it: give communal meditation a try!
