Creating success in every aspect of 
human endeavor

The development of consciousness is fundamental. Scientific research confirms that the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) creates a unique physiological state of restful alertness that is distinct from waking, sleeping, and dreaming. Regular practice of TM results in the reduction of stress, increased calm, improved health, and heightened creativity, intelligence, and productivity. These benefits improve a meditator’s sense of well-being, relationships, studies, and work. With less stress and clearer, more coherent thinking, conflicts find no fertile ground in which to develop. The individual is free to reach his or her full potential in life.

The Global Council of World Peace applies these technologies of consciousness at the global level, and also at the level of 12 key fields of human endeavor and achievement. We work directly with governments, schools, and organizations around the world to bring these peace-creating technologies of consciousness to:

The science of peace

The unique effectiveness of the Consciousness-Based approach to peace in preventing social violence, terrorism, and war has been confirmed by more than 50 replications, including 25 studies published in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals or conference proceedings.

One such study was conducted in 1983, when practitioners of TM and the TM-Sidhi program joined together in Jerusalem during a war between Israel and Lebanon. The group had a statistically significant effect on the factors measured in the study. On days when the number of participants was high, war deaths in neighboring Lebanon dropped by 76%. The experiment showed societal improvements in quality of life in Jerusalem and Israel, and war in Lebanon.

This study and others have been carefully scrutinized by independent scholars and accepted for publication in top academic journals. In every case, this approach produced marked reductions in crime, social violence, terrorism, and war, and increased peace and positivity in society.

Since wars begin in the minds of men,
it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed
