Group Practice of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program in Australia: Implications for Social Work
Journal of Maharishi Vedic Research Institute May 1, 2024 Sandy Gowing Price
A group practicing Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, including Yogic Flying, reached the square root of one percent of Australia's population in January 1983. Time-series analysis showed significant improvements in national quality of life: fatal traffic accidents decreased by 14.0%, unemployment fell by 8.3%, and the main Australian stock market index increased. These results suggest that group practice of this program may alleviate social stress, as measured by these social indicators.
