Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch 'Smashing' Cancer With Meditation

Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has invited fans to join him in daily meditation sessions. In an e-mail blast sent Tuesday afternoon, Yauch said that he and a few friends were participating in the twice-daily meditations and were hoping kindred spirits might join them.

"We are picturing smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world," wrote Yauch, who is in recovery after being diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his parotid gland last year. The rapper, also known as MCA, is hoping friends and fans will join him at 9:30AM and 6:30PM ET, for about an hour and a half.

"We are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer, and then sending it back at the cancer as lightning bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells," he added. "If you have the time, please join us in whipping up this lightening storm. Mind over matter ..."

Yauch also offered his prayers for the earthquake victims in and explained that Yoko Ono "will be joining the meditation by visualizing all of us dancing with joy to celebrate the world without cancer."
