In 1940, the Nazi Luftwaffe bombed the city of London for eight consecutive months in what came to be known as the London Blitz. While Hitler expected the blitz to terrorize the British people into submission, their bravery and resilience proved him wrong.
One of the many ways the British people responded to the Nazi attacks was with what came to be known as A Silent Minute. Each night at 9pm the bells of Big Ben would chime on the BBC before the nightly news, initiating a minute-long period of united prayer and meditation for peace. The King of England participated, as did Winston Churchill. Millions of people joined in, creating a spiritual network for peace amidst the horror and chaos of war.
At 6pm PT/9pm ET every night, let’s create our own Silent Minute. It will help all of us feel we’re in this together. It will unite, protect, and bless us.
Whether you participate prayerfully, meditatively, or simply in silent reverence, the energy created will be a strengthening of our hearts and a mantle of protection for our democracy. Prayer is not just a symbol and reverence is not just a feeling. Participating in the silent minute on a consistent basis will seriously contribute to our efforts to save our freedom.
Do it as consistently as you can. And spread the word. Perhaps you’ll organize your own group to participate; whatever you feel might amplify the energy, please do. Call friends… post about it… consider making your own video content to support.
There is internal as well as external activism. Both matter, both are powerful, and both are very important right now.
