Does Meditation, Prayer and sending our LOVE and LIGHT work? Yes, according to the 1993 controlled study in 
Washington, DC, which reduced the crime rate by 48 percent.
The following are the results of the 1993 controlled study on concentrated meditation and prayer and the results that followed.

This study presented the final results of a two-month prospective experiment to reduce violent crime in Washington, DC. On the basis of previous research it was hypothesized that the level of violent crime in the District of Columbia would drop significantly with the creation of a large group of participants in the Transcendental Meditation® and TM-Sidhi® programs to increase coherence and reduce stress in the District.
This National Demonstration Project to Reduce Violent Crime and Improve Governmental Effectiveness brought approximately 4,000 participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs to the United States national capital from June 7 to July 30, 1993. A 27-member independent Project Review Board consisting of sociologists and criminologists from leading universities, representatives from the police department and government of the District of Columbia, and civic leaders approved in advance the research protocol for the project and monitored its progress.
The dependent variable in the research was weekly violent crime, as measured by the Uniform Crime Report program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; violent crimes include homicide, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. This data was obtained from the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department for 1993 as well as for the preceding five years (1988-1992). Additional data used for control purposes included weather variables (temperature, precipitation, humidity), daylight hours, changes in police and community anti-crime activities, prior crime trends in the District of Columbia, and concurrent crime trends in neighboring cities. Average weekly temperature was significantly correlated with homicides, rapes and assaults (HRA crimes), as has also been found in previous research; therefore temperature was used as a control variable in the main analysis of HRA crimes. Using time series analysis, violent crimes were analyzed separately in terms of HRA crimes (crimes against the person) and robbery (monetary crimes), as well as together.
The following is a graph pictured:

Analysis of 1993 data, controlling for temperature, revealed that there was a highly significant decrease in HRA crimes associated with increases in the size of the group during the Demonstration Project. The maximum decrease was 23.3% when the size of the group was largest during the final week of the project. The statistical probability that this result could reflect chance variation in crime levels was less than 2 in 1 billion (p < .000000002). When a longer baseline is used (1988-1993 data), the maximum decrease was 24.6% during this period (p < .00003). When analyzed as a separate variable, robberies did not decrease significantly, but a joint analysis of both HRA crimes and robberies indicated that violent crimes as a whole decreased significantly to a maximum amount of 15.6% during the final week of the project (p = .0008). Analysis of 1993 data, controlling for temperature, revealed that there was a highly significant decrease in HRA crimes associated with increases in the size of the group during the Demonstration Project.
Several additional analyses were performed on HRA crimes to further assess the strength of the main findings. These indicated that the reduction of HRA crimes associated with the group of participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs could not be attributed to changes in police staffing. These secondary analyses also found that the reduction of HRA crimes was highly robust to alternative specifications of the statistical model-that is, the effect is independent of the isolated details of the models used to assess seasonal cycles and trends. No significant decrease was found in any of the prior five years during this period of time, indicating that this effect was not due to the specific time of year. Furthermore, the intervention parameters for the group size revealed that the effect of the group was not only cumulative with the increase in group size, but also continued for some time after the end of the project.
Based on the results of the study, the steady state gain (long-term effect) associated with a permanent group of 4,000 participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs was calculated as a 48% reduction in HRA crimes in the District of Columbia.
Given the strength of these results, their consistency with the positive results of previous research, the grave human and financial costs of violent crime, and the lack of other effective and scientific methods to reduce crime, policy makers are urged to apply this approach on a large scale for the benefit of society.
Since we can see that Meditation and Prayer, and Energy and Light Work does have a direct effect on lowering crime, today through January 1, 2021, I AM calling for a Worldwide Meditation, Prayer, Energy and Light Work continuously in every country, state, city and town, neighborhood, family and friends, as well as for you personally. I AM asking that your day begin with THANKSGIVING and GRATITUDE for the gift of your LIFE. Send Loving and Healing Vibrational Frequency Energy out through your thoughts, prayers and intentions to others, even before you meet them at work, school, or any and all social settings. Send them out to the other drivers on the road, or on the train or plane with you. You can do this anywhere.
You can set the intention for peaceful resolution regarding any issue you need solved, such as COVID-19, SARS CO2, Coronavirus, any disease, all health issues, immigration, crime, politics, finance, housing, food, rain forests, or any other pressing issue of our time.
Please set an intention for peaceful resolution starting in your area. Each morning, think this simple intention, and imagine this intention growing like a fog bank, spreading a calm mist of LOVING LIGHT full of thanksgiving and gratitude over your home, neighborhood and beyond. Hold this peaceful intention throughout your day. This intention is your calm hope just before it turns into reality. No matter what anyone else is doing in your home, family, neighborhood or country, keep with this intention for peaceful resolution. You do not have to share this request for holding the intention for peaceful resolution thorughout the day with anyone else, unless you want to.
At any time it occurs to you, perhaps at mealtimes, or specify a trigger such as each time you take a sip of water, or touch a doorknob, or go up the stairs, remember this intention for peaceful resolution, no matter what is transpiring in your day. It only takes a thought to keep this intention alive.
I say, no matter what is transpiring, because just as soon as you set this intention is usually when it all hits the fan. No worries. The idea is not to envelope yourself in the quiet solitude of a monastery. You can think (and laugh) of sending out the intention of peaceful resolution with the two-year-old tugging at you while the phone is ringing, someone is at the door and your boss is expecting that report. No matter what happens, you’ve got this.
As the evening winds down, during a walk outdoors, having a cup of tea, or even as you snuggle under the sheets before sleep, take a moment to continue thankfulness and gratitude, and the intention of peaceful resolution within your heart, sending it out like thoughtful rays of sunshine and moom beams on all your family, friends and anything else calling for your attention. You and I cannot solve every problem there is on Earth at every moment, but we can effectively send out LOVING THOUGHTS OF GRATITUDE at any time.
Your LIFE might seem like a dance, two steps forward and one step back, vice versa, or maybe this day seems to only go in reverse. When it comes to setting intentions, it is the intention that counts. The results follow, sometimes not in the same day, year or lifetime. Never give up. You matter. Your intention for peaceful resolution matters.
Hold no judgments about this. I know this is flying in the face of everything you have learned about how to judge any and every person, place and thing thus far in your life. It’s like we are sharpening those ice skates, so that they have the sharpest edge possible. Even if this is part of your personality, let it go while you are setting your intention of peaceful resolution for all the issues that come to mind in your area.
Let us all again join together wherever we are, in the common intention of peaceful resolution in every country worlwide, through meditation, prayer and Energy Work of Love and Light.
Namaste
