Where to Go to Participate in the ONE Initiative
If you have not meditated or tried to connect to the Source before, there are Brahma
Kumaris centers near you. All the courses and guidance are free of charge and
one-on-one guidance is often possible. If the center addresses featured below are
not nearby, check our website for all the locations worldwide. Each center will be
participating in the ONE Initiative.

making the connection
There are three simple stages to connect and establish a link with the ONE, The
Source of spiritual light and power: Introspection, Observation, and Remembrance.
To practice, fnd a quiet spot where you wont be disturbed for a few minutes.
Sit comfortably, consciously relax your body, yet remain alert.
introspection
Withdraw your attention from the world outside.
Center your self and be gently aware of your self being aware.
observation
Watch the fow of your thoughts as if you were just an observer.
Notice what you are feeling in this moment.
Think of your self as a being of peace.
Allow your self to feel calm and peaceful.
If any particular thoughts and feelings come up, watch them like a detached
observer and let them pass, as if watching trains passing through the station.
remembrance
Gently turn your attention to the ONE, however you perceive or understand
that Being to be.
Allow your mind to be free and open to any insperience.
Let your thoughts fow lovingly towards ONE, the Source of love itself.
If your heart feels like saying something, allow your thoughts to speak.
Watch or listen for, but dont expect a reply. You may feel something now
or later.
OR
Visualize bathing in the physical light of the sun.
Imagine your self bathing in the subtle spiritual vibration of the invisible ONE.
Feel that light penetrate your being as it heals all your emotional wounds.
Refect that light out into the world to all those who need love, light, and power
to face their difculties.
In light of the current speed of change, the instability
of many areas of our world, and the sufering of
millions, perhaps there is another way we can help.
As spiritual beings we all share the same Source of spiritual light and
power. Many now recognize that we can gently raise our consciousness,
connect with the Source, and serve as instruments of the ONE to bring
that healing light, love and power into the world. It is a subtle exercise in
which we can serve to empower and strengthen others. In the process we
also empower our own resilience to face our own daily challenges.
Whatever you call the ONE whom we all share and to whom we are all
connected, we invite you to join us in Being with ONE for one week in
September 2014.
There are three ways in which you can participate and be a part of this
global initiative.

cultivating awareness of ONE
who are the Brahma Kumaris (BKs)?
There are always two energies at play in life physical and spiritual, body
and soul, form and consciousness. If we are to fully feel the suns physical
light and warmth on our bodies, we must take of our clothes. If we are to
feel the spiritual light and love of ONE, the Spiritual Sun, we must frst be
naked before this light.
That means letting go, for a few moments at least, of our attachment to
our ideas, memories, and beliefs, for these are the threads that make the
inner mental clothing that we wear each day. They are what blocks the light
and power of ONE from reaching and touching the heart of our being.
Only then can we stand naked in the light of The Source and be empowered
by that light. When we do this, we are drawing down the energy and
bringing through the power of ONE.
The Brahma Kumaris are an international spiritual community whose
purpose is to assist individuals to rediscover their spiritual identity and
values. To this end the community ofers a variety of courses within
their centers while organizing initiatives within the communities of 135
countries. The core teaching and practice of the Brahma Kumaris for
more than 70 years has been Raja Yoga.
This includes:
1. An understanding of the self as spiritual light often referred to as
the soul. You dont have a soul, you are a soul.
2. An understanding of The Source, also a being of subtle, spiritual light,
but residing beyond the dimensions of time and space.
That Being has been remembered and called by many names throughout
history such as Allah, God, the Supreme, Ishwar, Jehovah, etc.
The practices of meditation and contemplation are shared as ways to raise
the vibration of the light of our consciousness so that we can resonate,
connect, absorb, and share the power of our common Spiritual Source.
