Sometimes, however, flashmobs can be a bit less flashy. This is the idea with MedMob, a global flash meditation movement that aims to bring positive energy all over the world. The group meets in highly visible spaces, with a goal of exposing others to the benefits of meditation and an aim of getting the entire world to meditate together.
The silent meditation takes place for an hour, which is then followed by eleven minutes of "sound bath", which involves humming a mantra such as "Ma", "God", "Om" or any other that invokes emotion in the meditator.
Want to be a part of a meditation flashmob yourself? There are numerous spaces and cities being mobbed on November 11, 2011, including:
Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom
Taverna Francescana, Perugia, Italy
Downtown LA City Hall, Los Angeles, California
