National leaders of the TM program discuss the principle of collective consciousness and how defusing regional and global tensions is the first step toward lasting peace. Twenty‑three published studies have shown that TM practice, particularly in large groups, can alleviate societal stress and reduce conflict and violence through a “field effect” in collective consciousness—an influence of orderliness and calm that spreads throughout society.

In this special edition of TM Talks you can learn about:

  • The TM program’s worldwide peace‑creating initiative involving thousands of meditators on every continent.
  • The quantum physics explanation of “action at a distance” and how synchronized, twice‑daily TM practice exponentially increases our coherence‑creating influence.
  • America’s unique coherence‑creating role due to our large number of TM practitioners, and how we can increase that effect to help resolve the Ukraine crisis.
  • A new approach to peace based on an advanced understanding of human consciousness.
