Maharishi's Programmes

1. All our activity, thinking, and feeling depends upon the condition of the nervous system.

   When we feel rested and fresh, all activity seems to be easier and more creative, while on days when we are strained, this tired mood is expressed in everything we do.

2. The surface condition of tiredness we call fatigue; the deeper aspect of tiredness may be called stress.

   Transcendental Meditation provides profound physiological rest and normalization of the nervous system. Anyone can achieve freedom from fatigue and deep stress through the practice of Transcendental Meditation.

3. Research in the field of physiology has shown that mental activity has a corresponding physiological activity. The mind is directly connected with the physical nervous system.

   Every state of consciousness has its own corresponding state of physiology. From this it is clear why, when during Transcendental Meditation mental activity becomes finer, physical activity also becomes finer and metabolic rate drops—the physical system receives deep rest. Thus deep-rooted stresses are naturally dissolved.
   

4. Removal of tensions through the Transcendental Meditation Technique removes the very cause of psychosomatic diseases, which arise from worries, anxiety, failures, and disappointments in life.

5. Transcendental Meditation improves both the functioning of the physical nervous system and its coordination with the mind. Energy and efficiency in action increase, so that one is able to accomplish more without becoming unduly tired.

6. This increased coordination between mind and body is beneficial to physical and mental health. Transcendental Meditation produces a revitalizing and rejuvenating influence in the body.

   This rejuvenating influence led researchers in the field of ageing to find that those practising Transcendental Meditation for five years or longer had a biological age twelve years younger than the population norms.
   

7. The influence of collective health has a direct influence on the health of the individual.

   Up to now, there has been no knowledge and programme to maintain the good health of the community or the nation; there has been no way to neutralize the stress and strain in society that affects the collective health of the nation.

   The Maharishi Effect, produced by collective practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme including Yogic Flying, is the most effective means for the prevention and cure of collective ill health. Without this knowledge and these programmes health care will never be complete.
   

8. A society composed entirely of healthy individuals must necessarily function as a healthy society.

   By dissolving stress day by day, Transcendental Meditation is a means to create stress-free, healthy individuals, and is therefore a powerful means of prevention on one side, and promotion of better health on the other side.

1. The discovery of the Veda and Vedic Literature in the human physiology has substantiated the effect of Transcendental Meditation for prevention and for the enhancement of better health.

   Maharishi’s Vedic Approach to Health applies the recent discovery of a precise one-to-one correspondence between the forty structuring dynamics of Natural Law expressed in the Veda and Vedic Literature and the forty structures and functions of the human physiology to enliven integration, vitality, balance, and to promote perfect health and prevent disease.

2. Maharishi’s prevention-oriented Vedic Approach to Health is holistic and most basic; that is why it is free from harmful side effects.

   It maintains balance between the body and its own inner intelligence and between the inner intelligence of the individual, the collective intelligence of society, and the Cosmic Intelligence of the universe.

3. Health means WHOLENESS. The perfect approach to health requires caring for the whole and parts at the same time—balance between consciousness and its expression, the physiology.

4. Maharishi’s Vedic Approach to Health utilizes self-pulse reading, which is the only means for proper diagnosis of the whole and its relation to the parts. Self-pulse reading and Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Technique create a balancing influence between the whole (consciousness) and the parts (physiology).

   Through the simple procedure of self-pulse reading, one can detect imbalances developing in the physiology in order to prevent disease through timely adjustment of diet and behaviour.

5. Detecting imbalances by self-pulse reading, and adjusting diet and daily and seasonal routines through Maharishi’s Vedic Approach to Health, will allow one to correct imbalances before disease arises.

   
   

Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Perfect Health is basically prevention-oriented; and whenever treatment for a specific sickness is required, this Vedic Health Care System approaches the most fundamental level of physiology, which is the level of the inner intelligence of the body—the very basis of all physiological structures and functions in the whole system.

Everyone’s physiology is the expression of intelligence. The inner intelligence of the body, impulses of intelligence—holistic and specific structures of intelligence, or consciousness, that blossom into different structures of physiology—have been identified by Professor Tony Nader, MD, PhD, in the Vedic Literature. All the forty areas of human physiology have been identified with all the forty areas of intelligence, which are available as the reverberations of sound in the Vedic Literature: there is a one-to-one relationship between the structure and function of the Veda and Vedic Literature and the structure and function of the human physiology. This knowledge presents the principles underlying Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Instant Cure.

It is striking how quickly and effortlessly Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Instant Cure is able to transform a state of physiological disorder into a state of orderly physiological functioning.

The scientific explanation of such a sudden transformation of disorder into order can be derived from recent findings of the Theories of Self-Organization and of Chaos Theory. These theories have developed very rapidly within the last few decades and have led to extremely important scientific insights regarding the functioning of dynamic self-organizing systems, including the functioning of our physiology.

One of the most important findings of Chaos Theory and of the Theories of Self-Organization is the principle that a tender impulse can transform chaos, or disorder, into order. This has been mathematically well studied for example for autocatalytic cyclic reaction chains, whose dynamic patterns easily shift from chaos to order if one slightly varies specific control parameters. This finding closely relates to the famous ‘Butterfly Effect’ of Chaos Theory.

Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Instant Cure utilizes this principle that a tender impulse can transform disorder into order. Through a tender impulse it transforms pain into a feeling of pleasantness—it transforms abnormality into normal physiological functioning. This is the key technology to restore a state of health.

This shows that Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Instant Cure utilizes an extremely sensitive and powerful procedure, and the experts who practise this method of instantaneously restoring health have undergone a proper, systematic, and profound training. They are trained to operate from the most fundamental level of Nature’s functioning—the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature—which has been recently discovered by Unified Quantum Field Theory of Physics.

Through their ability to operate at the fundamental level of the Unified Field of Natural Law, the experts of Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for Instant Cure enliven the holistic qualities of the Unified Field of Natural Law in the human physiology and thereby guarantee that the effects are always holistic and conducive to the balanced functioning of the whole physiology.

In summary, this shows how the most recent knowledge of modern science gives an understanding of the great effectiveness of Maharishi’s Vedic Health Programmes
