Frequently Asked Questions
Practically, how does praying/being mindful actually help change the World?
- Praying / being mindful or meditating helps you change your focus.
- By becoming aware of and changing your focus, you start noticing the things you focus on.
- When you focus on kindness and love you will keep seeing examples of kindness and love.
- This influences you, so you start demonstrating kindness and love to the people you interact with.
- This in turn influences them, so they also start showing kindness and love.
- This affects a community, a society, and the World.
What difference does it make if I join or not? I am just 1 person.
- You make all the difference in the World. The largest groups, armies, and populations are all made up of individuals. People like you and me.
- You have no idea how you might change someone’s day or who you might influence.
- If everyone said: “what difference will I make”, no progress will ever be made.
- Never discount the power of one person. History is made by individuals.
- This is a major part of the World’s problem. We have been convinced that the individual makes no difference, so we all sit back and watch as bystanders, yet the silent majority is just as responsible for the actions of the minority. It is your World as much as anyone else’s. It is your duty to get involved.
- There can be no World peace unless everyone, including you, is involved.
- EVERYONE IS NEEDED. EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT.
Why does it need to be synchronised? Why can’t we all just pray or meditate at our own time? Won’t it be the same?
- The “strength” of the focus grows exponentially when done by many. I am sure you have experienced this in a group prayer or even socially when a stadium full of passionate supporters gets their team over the line or when the audience all sing along to their favourite song at a live concert.
- It also creates an essential team spirit, a sense of unity. By synchronising our sessions, it will give us that sense that we are on a mission. We are working together to change our future.
Is 5 minutes a session really enough?
- Yes. It only takes a couple seconds to slow down, silence your mind and turn within. 5 minutes is enough time to remind yourself to stay focused on kindness and cooperation throughout the day, and that we are on the most important mission of our known existence.
- That being said, there are 4 sessions a day, and you are welcome to do as many as you like. A lot of people do multiple sessions a day.
You say 5 minutes a day but I see that there are 4 sessions a day. Are we expected to do all 4?
Life is busy. Time zones don’t always allow for a convenient session. So, we come up with the following solution:
- There are 4-time slots a day, 6 hours apart so that everyone can find at least 1 convenient time to join the World. No matter which time slot you participate in, there will always be others from all around the World joining you in that session.
- Once a week, on Sunday, for no other reason other than a lot of people do not work on Sundays, at 12 pm GMT is the Weekly Global Session. This session is the one that everyone must make a super effort to participate in, as it will be the biggest session of the week, and it gets everyone ready and motivated for the upcoming week.
What about my religion?
This will enhance any religion. All religions’ fundamental truth is love, to love your neighbour, treat others as you would have them treat you. And that is exactly what this is all about. For these 5 minutes, everyone, from all religions, from all beliefs, will just be together, praying, mediating, being mindful in their own way, just for the sake of love, peace and unity.
In fact, religious leaders around the World must encourage their congregations to join MEUS as the perfect demonstration of their commitment to World peace and unity.
What would be considered the minimum I should do?
- Do at least one daily session with enthusiasm and being fully present.
- Do a couple of good deeds a week.
- Do every Weekly Global Session.
- Get one person a week to join your team.

- ALL FUNDS ARE USED PURELY FOR THE RUNNING AND PROMOTING OF MEUS.
Why is the App free?
The app is free because there can be no excuse or reason why everyone from all around the world cannot join us. This is about unifying the world so that we all have an amazing future.
Please explain the Good Deeds:
The MEUS app had a Good Deed reminder. One, anonymous, good deed a day, done by millions, in itself will already make the World a better place. Millions of lives will be better, every day. The Good Deed “register” is completely private, the information does not upload to us but the Good Deed is counted and added to our accumulative total of Good Deeds done. It is just a way for you to keep track of what you have done. But the essence of this is that all good deeds must be done anonymously. Don’t look for credit. Just do something good, to help a follow human for no other reason other than to help them and make their day better.
Please explain the Diary:
Like the Good Deed register, the diary is completely private and does not upload to our servers. This is just a convenient place for you to make notes of any thoughts or feelings that came up during the session or during the day. It is to help you keep notes of your journey.
I can’t get 1 person a week to join. Now what?
You taking part in a daily session is the first and most important contribution you can make.
That being said, please don’t stop trying to get people to join. Speak to everyone you meet. Talk with confidence. We are privileged to be part of changing the World. People will love to be part of this.
Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to try get at least 1 person a week:
- This is a momentum challenge. The more there are of us, the quicker we will pick up momentum.
- The more there are of us, the stronger the energy, the group spirit. It is the difference between an empty stadium and a full stadium.
- The more of us, the more comradery. Soon we will all be discussing MEUS at the office water fountain, at coffee shops, and at home with our families.
How do I pray or be mindful?
It really does not make a difference. Some people pray. Others go silent and turn within. There are thousands of “how-to” videos from many great teachers on how to do either.
For us, the most important thing is just to slow down and become aware that you are part of this amazing World, become aware of love, watch your breath, remember that at this exact moment there are people from all around the world, doing exactly what you are doing, all wanting to contribute to a more peaceful, caring world. And then just think about love. Think of someone or something that you love, that gives you that warm feeling inside and stay with that thought.
