Susan Hamza enjoyed such life-changing benefits through TM that she became a TM teacher in 1985, and has taught over 2000 people to meditate, mostly women. She’s now the head of the TM women’s organization in Lebanon, the Ladies Foundation for Pure Knowledge.
While the Transcendental Meditation technique is well known as a way to create inner calm and vanquish anxiety, what is less known is that it can create a “spill-over effect”, the 1%- Effekt, so called Maharishi Effekt, that contributes to peace for a troubled region. One way this happens is when the number of people practicing the TM technique in a city or region reaches a “tipping point,” positive trends in society take a significant turn for the better.
Another, even more efficient way that the TM technique can affect larger populations is when TM meditators join together to practice in groups.
This can be described as a field effect of consciousness. Just as unified field theory describes the unified field that underlies all matter as a field of infinite correlation, in which particles influence other particles, if enough people start to practice TM and tap into their own experience of inner peace, it will reverberate to create peace and wellbeing in others.
Susan believes that the peace-creating effects of the Transcendental Meditation technique provide great hope for the Middle East. “I am convinced that there is no other way to create peace but by having large coherence-creating groups who are practicing Transcendental Meditation and the more advanced TM-Sidhi program.”
Our present aim is to create a great number more of sidhas to increase coherence in lebanon and in the region.
We are constantly continuing to intiate to the sidhi programme the 1000 rural ladies initiated to TM on a project done in the last two years in a province in the mountains, the Chouf and we plan to do the same in a new project just started to initiate 2000 ladies in another province ajacent to the Chouf.
We hope the initiations will go fast and we can start a Sidhi Programme in three months time!
