We are delighted to have had Yuan Tze and Melissa here in Otautahi/Christchurch for Global Awakening Day on Sunday, 5th October, 2025.
Wild, wet weather saw us gather at NZ's World Peace Bell in the Botanic Gardens for a very special ceremony and bell striking. About 40 people braved the conditions and wished awakening and peace for every human being and the world.
In the afternoon, Yuan Tze gave a talk and Qi healing at Hohepa hall that was attended by approx. 80 people. A very memorable day!
What Is Global Awakening Day? The world we are living in is facing grave challenges. Crises of all sorts are threatening the survival of many species, including our own. Problems are rampant, causing pain, suffering and chaos to individuals and society as a whole. Humanity is at a crossroads and the direction we take determines the future for all. This is the choice between continuing down the same direction and opening to a way out. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every human being lives their full potential, manifesting the true qualities of a human life! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all species can live together in the way that is all-enhancing! All of this is possible but will require every one of us to make a genuine effort to learn and do the real work. Let’s start with ourselves and use this opportunity to build the Qifield for everyone to do so.
What Is Awakening? Awakening has two meanings. One is awakening to the reality that life is run by all kinds of unhealthy patterns (thoughts, behaviours, emotions) and is lost in the confusion and problems caused by them. When these unhealthy patterns are transformed, and the problems are cleared, one will gain clarity. This experience can feel like waking up from a long sleep. The other layer of meaning refers to the state after the True Self manifests. Being in a state of pure awareness is awakening in a true sense. Read more about awakening from Yuan Tze.
