the difference between watching a movie on dvd and watching a movie on television is great. with a dvd is just yourself and whomever is in your home. that's it. but when you watch a movie on television the audience shares a connection and even though you can't see the others watching, they are still there. that adds a new element to the viewing and changes it, just as watching a movie in a crowded theatre changes the experience. the power of those observers changes the movie. much the same way, a group of meditators could produce energy even if they were separated by great distances.

i mention this only because i'm interested in a focused meditation group. as this is my first post on this forum, i am uncertain as to whether this idea has already been suggested or is being practiced now. i wanted to know if there are any scheduled meditation groups on this site? for example, a group of people who choose a particular time to meditate on compassion or security in order to have focused energy.

knowing that others are doing the same as you could have a great effect on a person's meditation as well as building camaraderie among the participants. i would imagine that a site such as this might already have such a group set up, so please kindly direct toward that.
