Inner Peace & Self-Esteem Building
What We do For Inner Peace
We can’t have world peace without first having the inner peace that comes through the practice of meditation.
UNESCO BMW tries to establish world inner peace in the lives of its members and followers. One of the main reasons for creating “Pearls of the Peace Land Projects” is to showcase the beauty and richness of world inner peace meditation.
BMW was founded with the common goal of making the global community healthier, stronger, and more stable by utilizing unconventional sources of art and culture around us. We work with individuals and communities and envisions creations of traditional art and craft that symbolize harmony and peace. It also works towards enhancing the support of our ecology and the sphere of world peace and habituating Eco-friendly practices.
Our vision mission encompasses three main goals and engages people of all ages, especially the youth- encouragement of inner peace on a global level.
UNESCO BMW has provided inner peace, Zen, Tao, Confucius, Zarathusrian, and Sufism style practices based on the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve an awakening of the soul as well as peace for the global society. Since 2014, such stress relief and creative programs have included the Frederick community and beyond, with a focus on individual and family reintegration using methods such as chakra meditation, Feldenkrais, and inner wisdom. Each one-hour guided session focuses on inner awareness, introspection, relaxation, and Thoughtlessness meditative practices to coach, support, and uplift the emotional and mental well-being of all.
We recently also held the “Meditation for Life’s Chaos” 9 Day Meditation June 2022 Program through which
global youth pioneers provide insight into topics that may affect many people in achieving inner peace such as bullying, mental health etc.
Through these goals and our efforts, we hope to provide a platform of inner peace and awareness to the table in order to achieve total wellness of body, mind, and spirit.
” UNESCOBMW is a non-profit full of kind-hearted people. Some things that we do to benefit the people of this world are yoga and meditation and this has helped a lot in my day-to-day life. It has helped me to improve my confidence, mental clarity and has just helped my overall well-being. We are also focused on the arts which are VERY important to me, being a creative soul myself.We help with the education of the environment helping to educate the people of the future to help make this world a better place and protect our home so it will still be here for future generations. Focusing on mental health, nutrition, social media, bullying, and family/friend connections are probably my favorite programs because in life we all need to help each other. Weather you come from a broken home or not these programs can help to strengthen your bond.”

World Inner Peace Through Secular Meditation
As an organization, we are aligned with the UN Global Goals for Sustainability as a guiding framework. We follow the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals: https://sdgs.un.org/goals. And to achieve an inner sustainable life, we use the teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. She is the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation (our partner).
UNESCO BMW uses the secular aspect of Sahaja Yoga Meditation as found in the teachings of:
Zen-ism: Emphasizes the state of calm attentiveness guided by intuition and not by mentality
Taoism: Emphasizes being one with nature and one with the inner Self
Confucianism: Emphasizes morality and the value of social relationships, justice and sincerity Zarathustrianism: Emphasizes the exercise of good thoughts, words, and deeds
Sufism: Emphasizes universal love, peace and oneness with creation
These stress relief and creative programs, include the community of Frederick, Maryland, USA and beyond. We focus on individual and family reintegration. Our methods are as describe below:
• Chakra Meditation: to know each organ of your body in terms of pulsation and vibrations on your hands
• Feldenkrais: return to the origins of movement through re-educating the neuro-kinetic assets
• Inner Wisdom Practice: refers to the base chakra energy center and facilitates the upliftment to the higher chakra energy centers
