Benefits to Society

Nearly 50 research studies verify that when large groups of individuals practice the Transcendental Meditation^® technique or participate together in the group practice of the advanced TM-Sidhi^® program, including Yogic Flying, then an influence of coherence and harmony is radiated from the group to the whole society.

This increased coherence and harmony in society is measured by such trends as reduced crime (85–89), reduced accidents (90), improved overall quality of life (87, 88, 91–93), improved economic trends (88, 94, 95), and reduced conflict and violence (87, 96, 97, 101). When all students and faculty at a large school or university learn the TM-Sidhi program, their group practice creates a beneficial influence for the whole city, and if the group is large enough, for the state and nation.
