Peace in the Middle East is easily within our grasp, as indicated by a new scientific paper published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration on 29 June 2009.

The study addresses the possibility that a relatively small group of people practising the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme®, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, twice daily together in a group can create peace in the Middle East. . . .

[This phenomenon is called the Maharishi Effect. Please see Part I, Part II, and Part III of this article to read the main text of the Press Release and Appendices A-C.]
