Lady Gaga has recently held a live meditation session in her quest to promote world peace.

Following the Las Vegas mass shootout incident last Sunday, Lady Gaga announced on her Instagram account that she was going to a hold a live meditation program to ease the minds of those affected by the incident, directly or indirectly.

"My intention is to provide a forum for us all connect to around the world, as a calling for world peace and inner peace. We are one body, I believe we can calm inflammation in the earth by calming each other,'' goes a portion of the caption to the photo she shared on Instagram, showing her tattoo peace symbol and served as the announcement of her then-upcoming live meditation session.

When her meditation session finally happened, the "Born This Way" singer kept on repeating her mantras ''I am calm, I am light,'' and explained how meditation helps her achieve mental health, which she believes is vital to achieving world peace.

''I think it's important. I think if we can all focus on ourselves being calmer and calmer every day, I really believe the world will become calmer and calmer every day because we really are all just one body all connected together," she said.

Apart from encouraging her Instagram followers and fans to practice meditation, Gaga also called on the U.S. legislators in a tweet to act on the controversial gun control law. For Gaga, while prayers are important, the only way to prevent future incidents such as the Las Vegas shooting incident is to impose gun control.

The Las Vegas shooting incident that happened last Oct. 1 is dubbed as the worst case of a mass shooting incident in the entire U.S. history. According to a report by CNN, there have already been 58 confirmed dead while around 500 people have been injured.

The earlier reported number of 59 casualties turned out to have already included the perpetrator himself, Stephen Paddock, whose motive for the killings remains unclear as of this writing.
