Reduce violent crime
During these 16 Days of Activism in South Africa (25 November to 10 December), please support a scientifically proven programme to reduce the crime rate.
Scientific research shows that the square root of one per cent of the population (i.e. 700 for South Africa) practising the Transcendental Meditation programme in one place, will reduce crime and violence dramatically. In the USA, for example, violent crime has fallen for three straight years since 2006 (with the number of murders now the lowest in four decades) due to the presence of a group of about 2000 people practising Transcendental Meditation in Iowa.

South Africa already has its own group meditating regularly in the Johannesburg CBD area, but it is not yet large enough. < class=”alignleft” width=”149″ height=”113″ />At present we have 200 students doing their TM programme together, who are helping create coherence for the Johannesburg area. In order to have a stabilising effect on the whole country, we need 700 to 1000 people meditating together, (seewww.invinciblesouthafrica.org– ‘Our Solution’).

These students are attending the Maharishi Invincibility Institute, where they also receive business education and job training in addition to creating coherence in society through their daily group meditation. Recently the Institute received a prestigious international award for its potential ‘to improve education outcomes significantly through an innovative, scalable and replicable business model that can work in different countries and regions’. more

Or you can become a creator of peace yourself, by practising Transcendental Meditation – to learn TM, visit www.tm.org.za/contact to find your nearest TM teacher.
Reducing crime through the Maharishi Effect – coherence in society through group meditation
According to Dr. John Hagelin, well-known physicist, extensive published research shows that coherence and positivity are created in collective consciousness when a significant number of people practice the Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying program together in a group. This rise of positivity in collective consciousness reduces negative trends, including crime and violence, and promotes positive social trends.
