Follow-up study suggests group meditation reduced murder rates in large US cities

(Maharishi University of Management) A follow-up study in the Journal of Health and Environmental Research examines a novel proposed approach to help reduce murder rates in large US urban areas. In a prospective social experiment from 2007 to 2010, practice of the Transcendental Meditation® and TM-Sidhi® program by a large group at Maharishi University of Management in Iowa was associated with a 28.4 percent reduction in murder rates in 206 US urban areas, preventing an estimated 4,136 deaths.
