Sisters and brothers from Global Cooperation House in London teamed up with the Museum of London and Maison Mangrove to create a special one-day event entitled: Wellbeing at the Docks at the Museum of London Docklands near Canary Wharf.
All day long Brahma Kumaris ran free Raja Yoga Meditation sessions, talks, games and activities - including the Virtue wheel, the Emergency Optimist, the Tree of Good Wishes and Guiding Star Cards - with an opportunity to take a selfie with yourself with butterfly wings under the heading 'Self Reflection leads to Transformation'. As well as passers-by, several school children on a school visit to the museum took time to try meditation or spin the Virtue Wheel.
A separate programme of expert speakers on different aspects and traditions of well-being ran alongside this and Sister Jaymini was a key part of this. She opened the event by leading the audience in a powerful breathing, posture and meditation experience and spoke later in the day on the theme of Raja Yoga Meditation - Wellbeing for the Mind. Aida Niang of Mason Mangrove, who works at the Museum of London, closed the day with a passionate call to all those attending and participating to take care of their own well-being - so that they are then better able to look after others.
