Energy Morning Meditation with BK Jayanti at EU Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels, Belgium

The Brahma Kumaris Environment Team was invited to host “Energy Morning Meditations” at the European Commission’s Annual High-Level Policy Conference held in Brussels, Belgium, under the umbrella of the European Union (EU) Sustainable Energy Week. BK Jayanti, European Director of the Brahma Kumaris from UK; BK Sonja from Denmark; BK Kathryn from Brussels; and BK Golo from Germany met in the beautiful Residence Palace with an enthusiastic group of people. Sonja started the session with 10 minutes of Chi Gong, followed by BK Jayanti who guided everyone into a meditation experience of circling around our inner energies. The session was concluded by Mr. Golo with a brief introduction to the BK solar activities in India and their spiritual connection.
“We have to be sustainable with the energies that nature has provided and use them in the best possible way, for example, using solar and renewable energy. We need to also be careful of the energy of the mind and use our thoughts in a creative, positive, sustainable direction. Our consciousness and awareness determine the future of the planet,” stated BK Jayanti at “Energy Morning Meditations” by the Brahma Kumaris.
The team later had an opportunity to meet Mr. Fearghas O’Beara, Adviser to the Vice President of the European Parliament, and his team. Discussions were held at length with respect to the input of faith-based organizations into the policy process at the European Union, possible input from the Brahma Kumaris environment initiative, and possibilities for future collaboration.
This was the first time in a High-Level Policy Conference that meditation was made part of the official program. Everyone enjoyed the sessions and the organizers expressed their hope to continue such programs in the future.
