More Meditation Benefits

Have you heard about Mahareshi Mahesh Yogi? He taught the Beatles how to do transcendental meditation, as well as thousands of others.

It seems TM has even more benefits than other types of meditation. There have been many studies now, that show that if a person meditates regularly, he will enjoy all the benefits of the relaxation response, including better sleep, higher energy, more patience, higher frustration tolerance, better health, and better brain function. So there are many individual benefits and it seems this can be expanded to the community level, promoting peace and lowering violence of all kinds.

Someone has used the data to calculate that when we have 8,000 people meditating daily, that there will be world peace. I think this is really interesting and will write more about it this year.
