The TM-Sidhi Programme with Yogic Flying

he TM-Sidhi Programme is an advanced aspect of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Programme. During Transcendental Meditation, the mind spontaneously and naturally settles to its source, an unbounded ocean of self-referral consciousness, known in the Vedic Language as Atma. This field of intelligence is the least excited state of human awareness, and also the Unified Field of Natural Law, the most fundamental level of Nature’s functioning from where the entire creation is administered. During the TM-Sidhi Programme, an individual learns to function from this self-referral level of intelligence, spontaneously allowing the conscious mind to become conversant with that level of intelligence from where all the Laws of Nature function. The result is the unfoldment of the total potential of Natural Law in his awareness, enabling one to think right, to do right, and to spontaneously act in accord with Natural Law.

An important aspect of the TM-Sidhi Programme is Yogic Flying, the technique for moving through the air by mental intention. During the practice of Yogic Flying—even in its initial stages where the body moves forward in short hops—one experiences exhilaration, lightness, and bliss. These arise naturally from the experience of the infinitely blissful self-referral consciousness. Regular practise 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. Established on this level, the human mind is truly a field of all possibilities.

Scientific Research on the TM-Sidhi Programme
Scientific research has demonstrated that those who practise the TM-Sidhi Programme develop higher levels of creativity, intelligence, learning ability, and neurological efficiency. Studies have also found increased endocrine efficiency after instruction in the TM-Sidhi Programme, as well as improvement in perceptual-motor speed and non-verbal intelligence.

Research has also established that the TM-Sidhi Programme cultures a profound integration of brain functioning (EEG coherence), promoting an optimal state of brain functioning that provides the basis for the unfoldment of an individual’s full creative intelligence. During Yogic Flying individuals experience significant positive correlations between the abundance of alpha EEG coherence in four regions of the brain and the experience of self-referral consciousness. This coherence and integration of brain functioning is maximum at the moment the body lifts up into the air.

When Yogic Flying is practised collectively, the coherence of brain functioning creates a positive and harmonious influence in the environment, reducing negative tendencies and promoting positive, harmonious trends throughout the whole society.

The Maharishi Effect
When Maharishi first introduced Transcendental Meditation to the world, he predicted that when one per cent of the people in any society begin to practise Transcendental Meditation, the crime, accidents, and other negative values in life will disappear spontaneously. This is because when the awareness is brought in attunement with the infinitely coherent value of self-referral consciousness, then it creates a very intensified influence of coherence and harmony in the environment.When this phenomenon was scientifically verified, it was named the Maharishi Effect, which is the phenomenon of the rise of coherence in the collective consciousness of any community.

In 1976, when Maharishi first introduced the TM-Sidhi Programme, he predicted that on the basis of its more powerful influence, only the square root of one per cent of a population practising it in a group would be necessary to create the Maharishi Effect. Since that time, there have been a number of studies on the Maharishi Effect conducted in different cultures and on every level of society, using a variety of social indicators. These studies controlled for many demographic variables and have utilised the most sophisticated and conservative causal analysis methodologies available to the social sciences. All of these studies confirm that the collective practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme reduces crime, violence, and negativity, and improves the quality of life in every area.

Heaven on Earth
Scientists have documented the Maharishi Effect in over 50 studies, using the most sophisticated tools available to the social sciences. It is now the responsibility of the governments of the world to implement these simple procedures in the educational systems of their nations, in order to ensure the full sunshine of a perfect civilization for the whole world. Maharishi has described such an ideal civilization as Heaven on Earth, which can be easily realized through the Vedic Technologies of consciousness that he has brought to light in this age, in the following way:

Heaven on Earth will be characterized by all good everywhere and non-good nowhere. What is Heaven on Earth? It is perfect health, a perfect way of thinking, a perfect way of doing. A perfect way of thinking means every thought will be appropriate for the thinker and his surroundings, and appropriate thought results in appropriate action and appropriate behaviour. We have that knowledge to train the whole of mankind to think spontaneously in accord with Natural Law, in favour of the evolution of life.
