How to hold a meditation flash mob at OccupySeattle by joie de vivre

"Beneficial in every way."

How I did it: I saw a video of a meditation flash mob on a friend's facebook status and was inspired. Then I thought, "why wait for someone else to do lead it? I could do that." I emailed all my fb friends who were local and I would think would be interested. Of the 100 or so invitations that went out, 7 people accepted the invitation. Of those 7, six showed up. But once you have a small basic group demonstrating what needs to be done, other people join in.

Participating made me feel extraordinarily relaxed and centered. It gave all of us a way to support Occupy Seattle (and the general Occupy movement) without being against any thing. We were not protesting. We were not angry. We were simply there to help generate peace and clarity to all participants - and all of downtown.

Lessons & tips: My yoga mat kept me warm and dry. Another participant brought a gallon freezer bag which she inflated and used as a meditation cushion, which I thought was pretty clever. Someone else brought a small folding chair - since my legs fell asleep several times, that might be a good idea, too.
