Subject: Maharishi’s Global Peace Program Featured in United Airlines Hemispheres Magazine

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s global peace initiative to bring the Transcendental Meditation program to every school and establish groups of peace-creating experts in every country is highlighted in the March 2006 issue of the award-winning United Airlines in-flight magazine, Hemispheres.

Maharishi’s global peace program is the focus of an in-depth interview with world-renowned filmmaker David Lynch, a 32-year practitioner of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique who recently established the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace to fund Maharishi’s global education and peace programs.

Extensive published scientific research has shown that practice of the TM technique optimises brain functioning, improves academic performance, increases IQ, improves health, and reduces stress, anxiety, and depression among meditating students. Published research also shows that group practice of the TM program and its advanced techniques, including Yogic Flying, reduces societal stress and promotes positivity and coherence throughout the surrounding population.

Maharishi’s global peace plan calls for opening schools in every country where students will practice the Transcendental Meditation program and Yogic Flying in groups to create coherent national consciousness—the basis of peace and invincibility for the nation. Mr. Lynch’s foundation aims to raise $7 billion to establish and fully endow these peace-creating educational institutions throughout the world.

The Hemispheres article cites a few of the thousands of schools in the U.S. and throughout the world where students practice Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation program, including: • Nataki Talibah Schoolhouse of Detroit (K–8), a public charter school that has offered the TM technique to hundreds of students • Chelsea School (K–8), a private school for children with ADHD in Silver Spring, Maryland, which uses the TM program to reduce anxiety • Public high schools in Augusta, Georgia, where the TM program was taught as part of a federally funded study to reduce blood pressure in African-American teens • Maharishi School (K–12) in Fairfield Iowa, where for 20 years all the students have practised the TM technique and regularly score in the top 1 percent of the nation on standardised tests.
