Students at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, U.S.A., who regularly practised the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes over a two-year period, increased significantly in intelligence and in the ability to make rapid choice decisions compared to control subjects from another Iowa university. This finding corroborates other studies showing increased IQ and faster choice reaction through practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique.

Conclusion

During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes, the mind experiences Transcendental Consciousness —the state of unbounded awareness, the basis of creativity and intelligence. This experience stimulates a more coherent style of brain functioning and results in more comprehensive, focused, creative, and intelligent thinking.
