"Instead of carrying a pistol at our waist so we can feel safe, what we need is to do a better job of managing our emotions, training young people and adults to be balanced," explains Cala as he invites us to download his meditation app.

MIAMI, Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Through an ad on the screens at New York's Times Square, strategist and communicator Ismael Cala has taken up the problem of guns in the United States, proposing meditation to balance people's minds.

"Armed or meditating? I know what I want: Escala Meditando, the new app from Ismael Cala", says the ad.

This year more than 300 mass shootings have occurred, more than 42,000 incidents with guns and more than 11,000 people dead and 22,000 wounded, according to the organization Gun Violence Archive.

On October 1st, the "Guardian" program in Florida entered into force, which allows teachers to go to school armed.

"There are still people who think that the solution to shootings is to carry a weapon to defend yourself! Instead of carrying a pistol at our waist so we can feel safe, what we need is to do a better job of managing our emotions, training young people and adults to be balanced," Cala explains.

He called on people to download his meditation appto their cellphones: "With many balanced minds, the scanners would vanish from school entrances. And no one would have to wear a bullet-proof vest to the shopping center, excuse the exaggeration to underscore this tragic problem."

Meditation is the path to enlightenment. According to a study published in Biological Psychiatry, conscious meditation allows for greater communication between the parts of the brain related to stress; in addition to greater activation of the areas involving concentration and tranquility.

After many years of study, Ismael has created Escala Meditando, his own app for meditation, personal growth and mindfulness, totally in Spanish, in a joint venture with the company Kingmagination.

Cala guides meditations for people to achieve their maximum potential and equilibrium between body and mind, as well as to drive them to overcome their physical and emotional ailments.

Escala Meditandohas two categories: Building Wellbeing and Conscious Equilibrium. It also contains free meditations.

Escala Meditandois available for Android and iOS and also via @escalameditando on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
