Abou Nader, T. M.; Alexander, C. N.; and Davies, J. L. The Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field and reduction of armed conflict: A comparative, longitudinal study of Lebanese villages. American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon; Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA; and Macquarie University, North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia, 1984.
The practice of the Transcendental Meditation program by one percent of the population of a Lebanese village, situated in a major conflict area of Lebanon, was found to result in an immediate and continued cessation of hostilities, and improvements in social, economic, and ecological conditions in the village. These improvements were in sharp contrast to the continuing violence in surrounding control villages.
