The first International Conference on Health Promotion met in Ottawa on November 21st, 1986 and drafted the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Quite reasonably, the first fundamental prerequisite for health named is peace.
Clearly, if one's world is filled with mayhem, mere survival takes priority over health. This applies equally to one's outer and inner world. Mindfulness meditation provides the opportunity to bring peace to one's inner world. One can more easily influence the outer world in a positive direction, if one's inner world is at peace. In both ways, mindfulness meditation helps improve quality of life. This is widely recognized today.
