  Orme-Johnson, D. W.; Wallace, R. K.; Dillbeck, M. C.; and Kay Rosenberg, N. Recent biochemical and physiological research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program: Clinical and epidemiological applications. Center for the Study of Higher States of Consciousness, Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA. Paper presented at the American Psychiatric Association, 132nd Annual Meeting, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 17 May 1979.

  This paper provides an extensive discussion of electrophysiological and biochemical research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, including some interesting findings on EEG coherence not previously reported in the literature. Research is reviewed from the theoretical perspective of the nature of consciousness and the principles of its development as systematically expounded by Maharishi in the Science of Creative Intelligence. The authors emphasize the value of Maharishi's insights in relation to some major constructs within psychiatry and discuss important clinical and epidemiological applications of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program.
