Extractions: An apple a day is all well and good, but 40 minutes of daily meditation might prove far more effective in keeping the doctor away. The real surprise? Your doctor might just be the one to give you this advice. Medical researchers in the United States have been studying meditation for more than 35 years, and the growing body of evidence is finally sinking in. One type of practice, Transcendental Meditation (TM), has shown particular promise. A recent study in the American Heart Association journal Stroke reported that regular practice of TM could reduce the buildup of fat deposits in artery walls (and therefore reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke), even without a change in diet or exercise. Worldwide, more than 600 studies have focused on the effects of TM over the past 30 years. Many of these took place at the College of Maharishi Vedic Medicine in Fairfield, Iowa. But as practitioners of all types of meditation know, you don't need a litany of research abstracts or meta-analyses to confirm the good it does. Likewise, those experiencing great pain are often eager to try out any possible solution, especially one so convenient, cost-effective, and free of side-effects.

Extractions: and TM-Sidhi Program JAN M.R. MEIRSMAN Lelystad, The Netherlands Previous research has revealed that, in the course of ontogenesis, the randomly occurring, isolated, low frequency Rapid Eye Movements (REMs) of the undiffer-entiated sleep of the premature are gradually ordered in groups of high-frequency REMs, characteristic of mature REM sleep (Petre-Quadens, 1967; 1969; 1978; Petre-Quadens & De Lee, 1974; Petre-Quadens, De Lee & Remy, 1971). This obser-vation has led to the hypothesis that there exist two functionally different types of REMs in REM sleep: the high frequency (HF) REMs with an interval of less than one second, reflecting the "maturity" or "order" of brain functioning; and the low frequency (LF) REMs with an interval of more than one second, reflecting "random noise" in the brain. Subsequent research has supported this hypothesis. TM and TM-Sidhi techniques, when practised 20–40 minutes twice a day, result in improved scores on tests of cognitive and affective functioning. Improve-ments took place regardless of the age of the subjects, even on variables like "fluid intelligence" and "field independence," which normally do not improve after the age of 17 (Aron, Orme-Johnson & Brubaker, 1981; Dillbeck, Assimakis, Raimondi, Orme-Johnson & Rowe, 1986). Methods Subjects Six male TM-Sidhi practitioners, aged between 31 and 39, with different educa-tional backgrounds, served as experimental subjects (Table 1). They had been prac-tising TM for an average period of 139 months (range, 94–199 months), and the advanced TM-Sidhi program for an average period of 87 months (range, 76–96 months). All but the youngest were teachers of the TM technique. The author was one of the experimental subjects. The experimental group was part of a group of 230 male TM-Sidhi practitioners, predominantly Europeans, who resided at the TM academy in Vlodrop (Limburg, The Netherlands). There, they worked full-time and, in addition, practised an extensive TM-Sidhi program collectively. Four of the six experimental subjects reported clear experiences of the TM-Sidhis and of "witness-ing" their night’s sleep, and two reported less clear experiences (Table 1).

Research On Transcendental Meditation (TM) At The Swedish Air Force

http://home.swipnet.se/tmdoctors/DMTeng.htm

Extractions: profound effects on mental health A great problem in combat pilot training all over the world has been that psychological tests have not been able to reveal the deeply seated disturbances that make persons unable to keep the head cool in highly stressful situations. In Sweden, a major part (up to 80%) of the pilot trainees failed year after year. With few exceptions, the reason was psychological inaptitude revealed under demanding flight situations. The situation has been similar in other air forces, which meant great economic losses considering the high costs of pilot training. Therefore the Swedish Air force sponsored the development of a test designed to reveal hidden psychological disturbances. The test used was the "Defence Mechanism Test" (DMT) originally created by Ulf Kragh. It was modified in important respects by the psychologist Thomas Neuman and was introduced in the Air Force 1970. As there are fundamental differences between Kragh's method and the way Neuman applies it, we will call it "DMT-Neuman". This test turned out to be very reliable with a high correlation between the test points and inadequate behaviour or mistakes in demanding flight situations. Since the test was introduced in combat pilot selection, very few incidents or crashes have occurred due to psychologically inadequate pilot behaviour according to the Air Force (1). The same is the experience from the other air forces that now are using this test for selection of combat pilots (for more, see

TM allegedly brings the practitioner to a special state of consciousness often characterized as "enlightenment" or "bliss." The method involves entertaining a

http://horizon.unc.edu/conferences/lc/papers/15.html

Extractions: When I first submitted my session topic I meant to emphasize the contribution a transdisciplinary approach to interdisciplinary studies can add to the holistic development of students, ie. to the development of what has traditionally been understood as wisdom. By wisdom, I mean broad comprehension and an integrated personality. The term transdisciplinary in this context, refers to a set of principles, expressed in a common language, that can be located in all disciplines. In this session I wanted to describe a unique transdisciplinary approach that can supplement the thematic courses used in many learning communities, because research at our university has indicated this approach facilitates the growth of wisdom in students, as indicated for example by longitudinal research using Loevinger's ego development scale. I will get to this outcome, but before I do, I want to begin on another tack, because in looking at current research on learning communities I came across an issue that is also related to the transdisciplinary approach I wanted to describe in this session, but to a very practical challenge that occurs among faculty from different disciplines teaching theme based, interdisciplinary courses. This is the challenge of faculty with different training and backgrounds communicating effectively with each other (and therefore with the students). Tussman noted difficulties in this area as a rationale for the early experiments with learning communities at Berkeley:

Transcendental Meditation: What Is TM? What Is Transcendental Meditation?
What is transcendental meditation? THE QUESTIONS MOST FREQUENTLY ASKEDABOUT transcendental meditation. What is transcendental meditation?
http://www.t-m.org.uk/whatistm.shtml

Extractions: Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique which gives a unique quality of rest to mind and body. It allows stress and tiredness to be released in a natural way, resulting in greater energy, clarity and enjoyment of life. Twenty minutes, twice a day. Often this can be accommodated with no real change of routine. It can even be done on the train to work. Furthermore people often find that the extra energy and clarity gained from TM actually saves them time. Just the opposite. You are not embarking on a lifelong quest, but a couple of hours on each of four consecutive days, with an optional (but recommended) three-month follow-up programme to ensure that you are gaining full benefit. At the end of this time you will be self-sufficient in the practice. You are not joining a group or becoming part of an organisation. Can anyone learn? I can't keep my mind still.
TM-Sidhi Programme
Individuals who have learned the TMSidhi programme often comment that it accelerates the benefits of the transcendental meditation programme, improving health, increasing happiness, and enhancing one's ability to gain support from the environment in fulfilling desires.
http://www.maharishi-india.org/programmes/p2sidhi.html

Extractions: 'The TM Sidhi Programme is the key to heavenly life on earth. This is because it trains the conscious mind to function from bliss consciousness, the self-referral state of pure consciousness, which is the total potential of Natural Law. It trains the awareness to function in the same self-interacting style as the intelligence of Nature. Functioning from this level the individual gains mastery over Natural Law. With this perfect science and technology of Natural Law, we are in a position to accomplish anything we are in a position to create Heaven on Earth.' Maharishi The TM-Sidhi Programme and Create Heaven on Earth The TM-Sidhi Programme is an advanced aspect of Transcendental Meditation. The Transcendental Meditation technique opens the awareness to Transcendental Consciousness, the Unified Field of Natural Law, which is the basis of everyone's awareness. The TM-Sidhi programme cultures the ability to think and act from this level. By learning to function from this self-referral state of pure consciousness, which is the total potential of Natural Law, the mind gains increasing Support of Nature for the fulfilment of desires. With the TM-Sidhi programme, co-ordination between mind and body is greatly enhanced, and thought and action spontaneously become more in accord with the evolutionary power of Natural Law. This results in greater skill in action the ability to fulfil one's desires naturally while effortlessly promoting the evolution of everyone and everything.

Extractions: Technologies for Systematically Developing Consciousness Sample Scientific Research Findings on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme Decreased Stress Plasma cortisol is a stress hormone. The study shows that plasma cortisol decreased during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, whereas it did not change significantly in control subjects during ordinary relaxation. Reference: Adrenocortical activity during meditation, Hormones and Behavior 10(1): 54-60, 1978. Students at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, who regularly practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique, increased significantly in intelligence over a 2-year period, compared to control subjects from another Iowa university. This finding corroborates the results of two other studies showing increased IQ in Maharishi University of Management students. Reference I: Transcendental Meditation and improved performance on intelligence-related measures: A longitudinal study, Personality and Individual Differences 12: 1105-1116, 1991. Reference II: Longitudinal effects of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme on cognitive ability and cognitive style, Perceptual and Motor Skills 62: 731-738, 1986. Broader Comprehension and the Ability to Focus (Increased Field Independence) Field independence has been associated with a greater ability to assimilate and structure experience, greater organization of mind and cognitive clarity, improved memory, greater creative expression, and a stable internal frame of reference. The results show that practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique develops greater field independence. This improvement in people practicing the Transcendental Meditation program is remarkable because it was previously thought that these basic perceptual abilities do not improve beyond early adulthood.
