Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith, Don Miguel Ruiz, and the World Business Academy, Among Others, Join Over 550 Locations Across 44 Countries to Unite in Prayer Around a Sacred Flame During the 26 hours While Every Time Zone Welcomes the New Year
LAYTONVILLE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2016 / The Divine Lineage Center, under the direction of spiritual leaders Monika Penukonda and Clint Thompson, MD, are melding the ancient ceremonial ritual of sacred fire with the modern technology of the Internet in a call for world peace on New Year's Eve. They are connecting with many spiritual leaders to reach millions of people throughout the world coming together in small and large groups meditating and praying for peace around a sacred fire. The group is calling on people from all faiths, cultures, and nationalities to unite in prayer in the presence of a sacred flame.
Their initiative has already drawn the support of New Age icons Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith of the Agape Church, bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz, Self-Realization Fellowship, the World Business Academy, and participants in more than 550 locations in 44 countries.
Why sacred fire? "The sacredness of fire is universal to all spiritual traditions - a flame is the living symbol of the Divine," says Monika Penukonda, the Center's Spiritual Director. "Ancient civilizations knew how to use the power of fire to purify negative vibrations and transmit peace and healing over long distances. The ancients used powerful fire ceremonies to generate peace in the world when the earth was overrun by negative forces. This technology, utilizing the fire element and prayer, has the ability to shift global consciousness, especially if we do it together."
Clint Thompson MD, the Center's founder, added, "The transformation of consciousness that is unfolding will happen only as we join together with a shared intention for the good. Collective consciousness brings miracles. We all must share our light and brighten the way for others."
Worship services, prayer groups, meditation circles, friends and family are encouraged to join together and include this movement in their New Year's Eve event or family activities by pausing together for even 10 minutes to be the catalyst to usher in a New Year of peace.
With five simple ways to participate in the movement, from lighting a candle to hosting and attending a sacred fire ceremony or candlelight meditation, the group is seeking to make "peace on earth and love for one another" the center of people's hearts and thoughts at the start of the New Year. "What the world needs is peace to go viral this New Year's Eve," Monika said.
