Welcome, WE NEED 100,000 PETITION SIGNERS!
Join a Movement of Science-Based HOPE and Profound Possibility!
We can literally CHANGE THE WORLD ...
BOOST GLOBAL IMMUNITY & SAVE TRILLIONS!
TIME to USE SCIENCE in Public Education!
We can literally CHANGE THE WORLD ...
BOOST GLOBAL IMMUNITY & SAVE TRILLIONS!
TIME to USE SCIENCE in Public Education!
The Global Transformation Project is a worldwide coalition of people, mind body, science, health, and education experts calling for a simple elegant solution to modern health, economic, and social challenges with a science-based solution that will SAVE TRILLIONS in future health & social costs year after year ... while creating a clearer more compassionate planet.
The Global Transformation Project is NOT an agency offering mind body services, and we sell no products, only offering the free public service of providing cutting edge science proving Mind Body can profoundly improve our lives and world ... and we are launching a global campaign to use that science to change the world. We have no "angle," we are all volunteers dedicated to the public good. We link to known mind body resources worldwide as a public service.
Our goal ... to get "LOCAL" Mind Body Teachers (Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Mindfulness) ALL OVER THE WORLD recognized by local Public Education as an INVALUABLE RESOURCE that should be in THEIR LOCAL SCHOOLS offering the time & science tested mind body practices to students K - 12th grade ... TO SAVE TRILLIONS IN FUTURE HEALTH & SOCIAL COSTS according to science. The global organizers who founded the Global Transformation Project's 25 years of global mind body organizing ... has shown that Mind Body teachers (Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Mindfulness) are in every major city in every nation around the planet ... a precious resource Public Education should be valuing and employing ... to save society TRILLIONS annually in future health & social costs.
Please join in supporting a NON-BINDING United Nations Resolution of the UN General Assembly to recommend Mind Body Education for Public Education, a very realistic goal given that in 2014 the UN General Assembly voted in the Resolution creating the INT'L DAY OF YOGA with a record number of co-sponsoring nations (177). This Resolution was passed to 'advance global health and harmony.' We cite this precedent in our Resolution, because science reveals that introducing 100s of millions of new Meditators, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Mindfulness (all proven scientifically) practitioners on the planet would have a profoundly positive social and economic effect. You can SIGN THE PETITION, and share it widely. Be a healing part of history.
GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT CO-FOUNDERS HAVE A REAL LIFE RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL GLOBAL ORGANIZING, gaining support and official proclamations for the global mind body event "World Tai Chi Day" from government bodies and agencies worldwide from the United States to China and India. The global event they founded 25 years ago gained media coverage of Mind Body Science (Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation) in major media worldwide, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, FOX News, BBC TV, Associated Press Television, Agence France Presse TV, China's Int'l CGTN TV Network, etc. etc.
Although, World Tai Chi Day was originally a day to celebrate the myriad benefits of Tai Chi, it quickly became World Tai Chi "and Chi Kung" Day, recognizing the mutual benefits these Mind Body practices offered ... and then World Tai Chi Day events around the world began to include Meditation, Yoga, Mindfulness Teachers and Groups ... so WorldTaiChiDay.org began to include Science on ALL these 5 major Mind Body practices. Now, in building the global coalition for this Mind Body Education Resolution ... GTP's founders are now building a worldwide MIND BODY COALITION, bringing Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung groups and practitioners together as one force supporting global transformation, this UN Resolution.
Please sign/share the Petition (and GlobalTransformationProject.org). Invite GTP Founders to speak at your science, mind body, etc. events as we were invited to present at Harvard Medical School's Osher Center recently, and invited to the N.I.H. ... help us build this unprecedented global coalition to advance, health, clarity, and economic rationality in the world.

Part of the inspiration for The Global Transformation Project was World Tai Chi & Qigong Day organizing. WTCQD founders discovered that Mind Body science reveals these practices can change education, healthcare, and the future of our planet ... BUT, also their organizing revealed there are visionary Mind Body teachers in virtually every city in every nation on the planet--and it would require a small effort and investment to bring them into Public Education worldwide.
Hear this profoundly moving video of open-hearted visionaries worldwide making this global vision of hope and possibility for our planet a reality in our time.
And particularly, hear the young South African woman teaching Mind Body in some of the most impoverished area of the world--and the challenges they face and the hope the Global Transformation Project can bring the world, a world in need of such vision.
HELP US GAIN 100,000 SIGNATURES for our UN Resolution petition! Spread our website, science, and Petition with everyone, and Mind Body organizations worldwide ... and when we get to 100,000 signatures, we will begin petitioning UN Missions worldwide to support this globally transforming UN Resolution for Mind Body Education in Public Education.
You can sign our Petition to the United Nations General Assembly in support of our Mind Body Education in Public Education. Contact the Founder, William Douglas, with questions. Click for international media coverage of The Global Transformation Project. When we get 100,000 Mind Body Education supporters from around the world to SIGN OUR PETITION, we will begin approaching UN Missions worldwide requesting they co-sponsor this Resolution. [REMEMBER, the UN Resolution for an International Day of Yoga, passed with a record number of co-sponsoring nations ... the world is READY for this. Spread this page/petition wide & far.]
The Global Transformation Project (GTP) is a simple elegant plan that would save TRILLIONS in future health & social costs--supported by a growing coalition of Scientists, and Health & Education Professionals worldwide (scroll down).
What is it? An elegant science-based plan for the future! It is way past time for science-based Mind Body Education (Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung) to be part of Public Education worldwide. Backed by SCIENTISTS, EDUCATION & HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, and citizens worldwide ... not only taking student performance to a new paradigm, but also reducing teacher burn out a key to successful Public Education.
YOU CAN BECOME A HEALING PART OF HISTORY by signing our Petition to the United Nations General Assembly in support of our Mind Body Education in Public Education UN Resolution. (Your information will never be shared/sold. UN Missions receiving our Petition will only see your name and country, NOT your email address). Click to see draft of Resolution.
HOWEVER, THE "MOST IMPORTANT THING" you can do to support this effort ... is to share this mission widely. The more signatures we have, the more soul force we have behind our appeal to UN Missions worldwide--and there is a precedent for this; the UN set a record for co-sponsoring nations for a Resolution by passing the International Day of Yoga in 2014 with 177 sponsoring nations.
We are building a global coalition of people who want a better society and planet to help us advocate for a United Nations Resolution calling for SCIENCE-BASED Mind Body Education (Yoga, Meditation, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Mindfulness) to become part of Public Education worldwide. It would not be mandated for any nation, any school, or any student--students who opt out could have a "study hall" hour each day instead. GTP'S UN Resolution would be a vehicle to educate educators worldwide on science that would lift education to a whole new level ... but, this concerns YOU, not just students.
Again, there is a United Nations precedent for this. In 2014 the United Nations General Assembly approved a UN Resolution creating the "International Day of Yoga," a total of 177 nations co-sponsored the resolution, which is the highest number of co-sponsors ever for any UNGA resolution of such nature. And in past years government bodies worldwide, including 22 USA Governors, officially proclaimed World Tai Chi Day for their states and nations.
WELL, I'M NOT A SCHOOL STUDENT, WHY SHOULD I CARE? Because you/society are paying TRILLIONS of unnecessary dollars, euros, etc. on healthcare, police, prisons, etc. that could be avoided. THE SCIENCE IS IN ON THIS--it's just that most are unaware of it. Plus, in an age of Pandemic, 100s of millions of students worldwide who could have STRONGER IMMUNITY to virus's could help avert future global health related disruptions like the one we all just experienced that resulted in 500,000,000 small businesses being crushed (scroll down for below science on COVID, T Cells, Helper T Cells and CD4 Cells, and Mind Body impact).
Science reveals that prisons, schools, or cities who incorporate Mind Body Education see reduced violence and violent crime--not by a little, by a LOT! Science also reveals that 60% to 90% of illnesses sending people to doctors are caused by stress, and best treated or prevented by Mind Body Education (Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Mindfulness, and Chi Kung--all science-based practices).
Click the tab at the top of the page "THE SCIENCE ON EDUCATION" to understand why no rational educator in the world would not readily embrace the GTP's goal--it will be a "no brainer" getting this into Public Education worldwide. Also learn why no rational government, police, prison official, TAXPAYER, or any rational person would not embrace it.
THERE IS NO ONE SINGLE ACTION WE COULD TAKE AS A GLOBAL SOCIETY THAT WOULD HAVE MORE POSITIVE SOCIAL, HEALTH, AND MONETARY BENEFIT TO US ALL ... THAN ENACTING THE GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT's VISION--THIS UN RESOLUTION.

INTERVIEW EXCERPT ... from CONCLUSION OF INTERVIEW ...
Global Transformation Project Founder:
"There's just endless reasons why this should be part of Public Education because it makes smarter students and once we get it into a UN Resolution, and get it out to Public Education around the world, we're talking about 100s of millions of new meditators. And we know that a mind going into a coherent state of consciousness has a healing effect beyond that meditator, I have tons of research validating everything I am saying here ... and so we're talking about global transformation in a very real way and we could ALL be a part of this. This IS doable, we can really do this! This is really within our grasp!"
UK HEALTH RADIO HOST (Clara Apollo, "Chi Time" Program):
"Honestly Bill, I'm having all the shivers here in such a beautiful way when you said those words it's like you're speaking a total truth. This is what it's really about--The Global Transformation Project. This is our opportunity at this time 2022, here we grow! We can do this. And the work [science] that you're bringing through to back up what we can experience we can help other people to understand why it's interesting for them to look at this as well."

Can people be naturally immune or resistant to COVID-19?
Yahoo News, April 26, 2022
The study evaluated a group of U.K. health care workers during the first wave of the pandemic who were exposed to the virus but didn’t develop COVID-19. Researchers found that the presence of cross-reactive memory T cells among some of the participants contributed to “the rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronavirus infections.”

Pre-Existing T Cells Play Key Role in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination
The researchers identified a peptide (S816-830) in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that CD4+ T cells in all groups—even those unexposed to SARS-CoV-2—recognized. The S816-830 protein was recognized by CD4+ T cells in 20% of unexposed individuals, in over 50% of SARS-CoV-2 convalescents, and in 97% of subjects treated with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

J Sports Med Doping Stud 2:119. doi:10.4172/2161-0673.1000119Page 5 of 7Discussion human immune system demonstrates degenerative changes with advancing age [17], especially T cells which demonstrate prominent age-related alterations in distribution and function, such as declined number of circulating cells, NKT cells, and DCs, decreased production of 1 cytokines (IFN-γ) and increased production of 2 cytokines (IL-4) with aging [2,4,3]. However, the findings of our present study demonstrated that after a 6-month TC exercise program, the percentages of CD4+ T lymphocytes, NK cells, NKT cells, and DCs, along with the CD4+:CD8+ ratio and cytokines IFN-γ and IL-4 producing T cells, significantly increased in middle-aged and elderly women

Effect of Integrated Yoga (IY) on psychological states and CD4 counts of HIV-1 infected patients: A randomized controlled pilot study
Results: Within group comparison showed a significant reduction in depression scores (F [1, 21] =4.19, P < 0.05) and non-significant reduction in anxiety scores along with non significant increment in CD4 counts in the yoga group. In the control group, there was a non-significant increase in anxiety and depression scores and reduction in CD4 counts. Between-group comparison revealed a significant reduction in depression scores (F [1, 21] =5.64, P < 0.05) and significant increase in CD4 counts (F [1, 21] =5.35, P < 0.05) in the yoga group as compared to the control.
Conclusion: One month practice of IY may reduce depression and improve immunity in HIV-1 infected adults.

Meditation done at an intense level may bring a significant boost to the inner workings of your immune system.
The finding follows a blood sample analysis that took pre- and post-meditation snapshots of genetic activity among more than 100 men and women. That analysis suggested that meditation boosted the activity of hundreds of genes known to be directly involved in regulating immune response.
The result: Three months after the retreat's conclusion, Chandran and his colleagues found an uptick in activity involving 220 immune-related genes, including 68 genes engaged in so-called "interferon signaling."

Yoga into Cancer Care: A Review of the Evidence-based Research
An impaired immune system may facilitate tumor development.[178,181,182,183,184,185] Several studies have shown that yoga reduces stress, depression, and anxiety, changes cellular milieu by genomic alteration, and enhances cellular immunity.[186,187] It is therefore very likely that yoga could prevent tumorigenesis and progression and possibly help cure cancer. Interestingly, a number of case reports from Meares demonstrated that the practice of yoga/meditation was able to regress the growth of tumors.[188,189,190,191] The above findings suggest that yoga may help prevent tumorigenesis and progression and ultimately cure cancer. Of course, well-designed studies are needed to examine this hypothesis.
