  Jedrczak, A.; Toomey, M.; and Clements, G. The TM-Sidhi programme, age, and brief test of perceptual-motor speed and nonverbal intelligence. Journal of Clinical Psychology 42: 161–164, 1986.

  Length of time practicing the TM-Sidhi program was associated with better performance on age-related psychological variables: visual memory, perceptual motor speed, and reaction time.

  This study demonstrates the importance of EEG coherence in relation to the improvements in age-related psychological variables which are known to result from the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, thus emphasizing the importance of neurophysiological integration in the reversal of aging.

MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, and Department of Biology, University of York, Yorkshire, England, 1982.

  Participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program were found to have an average biological age which was 7.2 years younger than their average chronological age of 31.8 years. Length of time practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was found to be correlated with reduction in biological age.

  Toomey, M.; Chalmers, R.; and Clements, G. The Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme and reversal of the ageing process: A longitudinal study. MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, 1983.

  Longitudinal reductions in biological age were observed in participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program. Over an eighteen-month period, average biological age decreased from 7.5 years younger than chronological age to 10.6 years younger. Duration of practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was correlated with the degree to which both biological and functional ages were younger than chronological age.
