Transmission Meditation groups come into being through an ongoing process of networking. To make this possible, all such inquiries are maintained in a database that allows our co-ordinators to know who is interested in this work in their regions. If there is no existing group in an area, for example, new inquirers are referred to previous inquirers from that area in the hope that, eventually, someone will take the initiative and a new group will be formed. For such referrals, only a telephone number is given, never an address.
