Pulse - Join others by pulsing empathy around the world in 30 seconds.

It is all about feeling positive great feelings within you on Monday evening, at 6 p.m., for a few seconds.

If you have ever been within a stadium and felt your body being swept to stand up then you know what can happen when lots of people feel the same emotion. And this is what Pulse is all about - sending a pulse of good feelings, empathy, mutual love, peace, around the planet.

Join others in feeling good feelings within you. Doing it

It’s simple - so simple that you will wonder why you were not doing before. And the best thing is - the more you do it - the faster you will be able to do it and feel good as well.

Steps:

When the clock chimes six, think of a time when you felt mutual love i.e. for your child, for your pet, for a baby you held in your arms, your partner, an old love.
Remembering how the feeling felt, let it swell up, or out, feeling it within your body
With that feeling within you, think of people you like, and within your mind visually give it to them. If possible give it to the people around you or even to mankind. Think of peace. Hold it for as long as possible.

It can be difficult the first time, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Here are a couple of tips, more below in the FAQ section.

If you can't think of such an occasion, just try to visualise such a feeling, or how it feels when you are really happy (got through exams, won a contest, felt on top of the world). The feeling has to be happy and to be positive to others.
You might have the feeling in the stomach or your breast. If you you cannot pinpoint it. have a go at visualising it in your breast
Try to amplify the feelings you have; Visualise that you have a volume control which you can turn up. Or a slider which you can push up. Turn it to max :-). If you like cooking you can visualise the knob of a cooker - turn the heat up.
It might help by closing your eyes. (Don't do this when driving!)
If the news comes on the radio or TV, just turn it down for a couple of secons and pulse - you won't miss much.

You can do it on the bus, on the street, at work, at your PC, on the toilet.

Do it with your friends. You can even hold each others hands or hug each other. Try it with colleagues.

Set a repeat alarm on your mobile for every Friday at 6 pm (18:00h) so that you will be reminded. Tell your friends

Tell your friends, family, colleagues about it, send them the link, or just copy and paste.

it is free and easy Practise

You can even do it once a day.

You will find that you will feel better in the long run.

It is even healthy for you: It is generally recognised by the medical profession, that people who are more positive live a better and happier life and are more successful. The background to Pulse

The way you feel has an influence on the world around you. The more negative you feel, the more negative your surroundings are, and vice versa. In a world where the headlines are mostly negative it is not surprising that many people easily have negative thoughts and such feelings of angst, distress, anger, etc.

Pulse is a (small) way of counteracting the negative trend. It also has several other implications:

It helps to train your emotional framework
It can give you a pleasant kick and boost your evening
It triggers the Law of Attraction - You wil attract other positive things
Everything you positively give, you get back in other ways
It might lead to more social contact

It is also a large scale social experiment.

It is an experiment in creating a web of empathy - a web of good vibes or mutal love at a specific time in a nation.
What would happen if a hundert thousand people felt mutual love at the same time - would it overflow to a million others? Is their a critical number, which would cause a sort of quantum jump in others.
Due to the rotation of the earth it will go around the world as each time zone chimes 6 p.m.
