Real Time Eeg Coherence Analysis of the Transcendental Meditation and Tm-sidhi Programme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increases in EEG coherence were found from an eyes-closed pre-control period to the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, and from the practice of Transcendental Meditation to the practice of the TM-Sidhi techniques, while a decrease was found from the practice of the TM-Sidhi techniques to a post-control period with eyes closed, indicating that the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme increases the orderliness of neurological functioning.-EDITORS

The TM technique involves systematic transcending of contents of experience to a state of pure consciousness. The TM-Sidhi program involves sanyama-the simultaneous experience of dhārānā (fixity), dhyāna (transcending) and samādhi (pur...

This study tested the prediction that when the number of participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program exceeds a certain threshold an influence of coherence is created in the collective consciousness of society, resulting in a profound and measurable improvement in the quality of life. This prediction was tested by measuring the effects of an experimental intervention in th...
متن کاملAuditory Thresholds in Advanced Participants in the Transcendental Meditation Program
In a study on participants in an advanced Age of Enlightenment Governor Training Course at MERU, unusually sensitive hearing thresholds were found ( 11.7 dB more sensitive than norms averaged over the frequency range 250Hz to 8000Hz). Thresholds decreased by a further 3. 0 dB after 15 minutes of performing the sidhi designed to produce unusually acute hearing. These results are discussed in rel...
