Students enjoy the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme and Yogic Flying The Transcendental Meditation Technique, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, allows the mind to settle down to the ‘source of thought,’ to experience pure consciousness—a state of deeply restful alertness, in which the mind is fully awake while the body gains a state of rest that has been shown to be deeper than deep sleep. With the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, one learns to think and act from this most silent and powerful level of the mind. Students practising the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme describe the experience as one of happiness, energy, bliss, and inner freedom, with these qualities carrying over into their daily life. Yogic Flying was introduced in 1976 by Maharishi, the world’s foremost scientist of consciousness, who brought to light the knowledge of India’s ancient Vedic tradition. Yogic Flying is a natural extension of the Transcendental Meditation Programme, which Maharishi introduced in the mid-1950s, and which has become the most widely practised and thoroughly researched programme of self-development in the world. Extensive published research demonstrates that Yogic Flying offers striking practical benefits. For example, scientists have observed remarkable changes in the way the brain functions. During Yogic Flying, brain functioning becomes highly orderly and coherent—with maximum coherence at the point of liftoff. This indicates that the brain is functioning more powerfully, with greater access to its total potential. The best thing you can do for yourself—and the best thing you can do for the world The twice-daily programme of Yogic Flying can be practised by oneself in one’s own home. But extensive research has documented that when people come together and practise Yogic Flying in sufficiently large groups (equal to the square root of one per cent of the surrounding population), they create an influence of orderliness and coherence that extends to society. This coherence-creating effect, termed the "Maharishi Effect", neutralizes stress and negativity in the innermost fabric of the nation. There is a marked decrease in crime rate, and in sickness and accident rates. Inflation and unemployment decline, and the economy improves. Even terrorism and open warfare have been reduced or stopped. For almost 35 years now, Yogic Flyers have come together in large groups many times and in many places, all over the world. One consistent finding: the larger the group, the greater the effect. Yogic Flying groups have been large enough to generate positive influences statewide, nationwide, and worldwide. ‘Regular practice of Yogic Flying leads the individual mind to enjoy control of Nature’s central switchboard from where Natural Law governs the life of everyone and administers the entire universe from within the intelligence of every grain of creation.’ —Maharishi ‘The mind-body coordination displayed by Yogic Flying shows that consciousness and its expression—the physiology—are in perfect balance. Scientific research has found that maximum coherence in human brain functioning gives rise to Yogic Flying. As the coherently functioning human brain is the unit of world peace, Yogic Flying is the mechanics to make world peace a reality, and thereby bring world health, world happiness, world prosperity, a world free from suffering—Heaven on Earth in this generation.’’—Maharishi Excellence in Action will soon feature an article in which students and others speak about their own experience of Yogic Flying.
