I would like to share this incredible story with you about the ‘Meditating President’, Joachim Chissano of Mozambique and how through his Meditation practice, helped put an end to the devastating 15 year civil war in Mozambique and a million causalities. Mozambique was brought back from the brink of self-destruction and has instead become one of Africa’s most stable and peaceful countries.
Quote: “ In the short term, meditation reduces anger and aggression. In the long term, it increases our capacity for empathy, compassion and rationality. It leads to less self-centered behavior, and reduces cravings for power and wealth. It generates a sense of well-being which makes us less liable to be affected by slights or prejudices.”
