The Maharishi Effect: Meditating For World Peace
In a recent video, Dattatreya Siva Baba announced his plans to discontinue his teachings and writing. He didn't really explain himself, but simply stated that the most effective way for him to heal the world is by going deep inside himself...
The thought crossed my mind...How can sitting alone in an ashram in the Himalayas serve to cultivate world peace? After all, someone practicing deep meditation is simply cultivating himself. Or is he?
Not according to one study. It's called The Maharishi Effect.
The Maharishi Effect is based on the principle that an individual's consciousness is directly linked and influences the collective consciousness.
The study was as follows. "In 1960, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi predicted that one percent of a population practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique would produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population. This phenomenon was first noticed in 1974 and reported in a paper published in 1976. Here, the finding was that when 1% of a community practiced the Transcendental Meditation® program, then the crime rate was reduced by 16% on average. At this time, the phenomenon was named Maharishi Effect."more
These experiments were later conducted in many different cities around the world, including Washington DC, one of the most crime infested cities in the United States. The results were astounding! It was predicted that a group of 200 people practicing the Transcendental Meditation Techniques in a city of 4 million could significantly reduce crime rates. So it was of no surprise to discover that in 1987, Washington DC experienced an 11% reduction in crime rates, due to these group meditation practices.
Amazing! But honestly, it doesn't surprise me. I've always believed that we are all deeply connected to one another through a common source of power which we call God. So, imagine what we could do for the world, if everyone of us invested some time into raising their own consciousness?
