This phenomenon was first documented in scientific research in 1976 when it was found that when 1% of a community practiced Transcendental Meditation, the crime rate was reduced by 16% on average. THE MAHARISHI EFFECT: In 1960, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi predicted that one percent of a population practicing the TM technique would produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population. Homicide and Urban Violent Crime Rates,” was published in SAGE Open Apr 2016, 6 (2). The study, “Societal Violence and Collective Consciousness: Reduction of U.S. population at the time, and remained above or near that level through 2010. By January 2007 the group exceeded the required size of 1,725 participants, the square root of 1% of the U.S. Predictions were lodged with the press and other scientists that significant decreases in violent crime would occur when the group reached or exceeded the theoretically predicted threshold of the square root of 1% of the U.S. Starting in July 2006, advanced meditators assembled at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, to create a group large enough to have this influence on the U.S. The study found a highly significant shift from a flat trend in 2002-2006 to a declining trend in 2007-2010 for a sample of 206 urban areas nationwide with a population over 100,000 (see graph). The drop in the violent crime rate was 18.5% (4.6% per year). Researchers estimate that 8,157 homicides were averted by the highly significant shift from an increasing to a decreasing trend in homicide rates. homicides during the baseline period 2002-2006 was reversed during the intervention period 2007-2010 of the study (see graph).
Analysis of monthly data showed that a rising trend of U.S. The total drop in the homicide rate relative to the baseline average rate was 21.2% over the four-year intervention period (5.3% per year). Relative to the baseline period of 2002-2006, the drop in homicide rate was 21.2% (5.3% per year) and 18.5% (4.6% per year) for violent crime.įor the period 2007-2010, when there was a sufficiently large group, statistical analysis found a significant decrease in both the national homicide rate and urban violent crime rate compared to trends during the baseline period of 2002-2006.
During 2007-2010 when the size of a group of advanced TM-Sidhi program participants exceeded the threshold predicted to reduce negative trends (√1%), there was a significant shift in the US national homicide rate and urban violent crime.
