The gift
Worldwide, more and more people are realising the benefits of short meditation breaks during the day. These breaks in our busy, often challenging, everyday lives help us experience peace and well-being, no matter what is happening around us.
At the Brahma Kumaris, a global spiritual movement and learning community, this simple practice of stopping for one-minute breaks for the mind is used every day, every hour. just-a-minute was created to mark the 70th anniversary of the Brahma Kumaris as a free and simple gift to share with everyone the wonder of one minute.
30 million people around the world joined in a one-minute ‘global link-up’ at the London Wembley Arena launch in September 2006. A theatrical celebration of sound and silence, movement and stillness, the event was a contribution to the United Nations International Day of Peace.
