TM practitioners in India exhibit improved cognitive function and reduced stress levels compared to non-practitioners.

In a ground-breaking revelation, the Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi programs emerge as panaceas for societal challenges, backed by staggering data showcasing their transformative impact on crime rates, mental health, and global harmony. Studies conducted in Indian cities like Delhi and Bhopal demonstrate crime reductions ranging from 16% to an astonishing 23% when the square root of 1% of the population practices the TM and TM-Sidhi programs together in large groups.

Transcendental Meditation (TM) Technique

Dr Santosh Kumar, Additional Professor, AIIMS, Rishikesh & Dr Tony Nader, MD, PhD, Chairman, Global Union of Scientists for Peace,explain the legacy of the TM technique, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and rooted in ancient Vedic wisdom, is poised to reshape societal well-being. A landmark study published in Social Indicators Research showcased a significant 23% reduction in violent crime during a U.S. demonstration project in Washington, DC, when the number of TM and TM-Sidhi practitioners in the project reached the square root of 1% of the city's population. This phenomenon, first predicted by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is known as the Maharishi Effect.

Journal Of Conflict Resolution

Beyond city borders, peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution pointed to the role of the TM and TM-Sidhi programs in diminishing international conflict and terrorism during the war in Lebanon, when large groups practised these programs in neighbouring Israel for two months. The path to social harmony, lower prejudice, and heightened community cohesion has been replicated and illuminated by studies on TM and the TM-Sidhi programs in journals such as the Journal of Social Behaviour and Personality and the Journal of Consciousness Studies.

Transcendental Meditation (TM) Practitioners

These revelations come as India boasts the most significant number of TM practitioners globally, exceeding 10 million individuals. With government support and scientific validation from institutions, the potential for the TM technique to address social and health challenges will gain unprecedented recognition. Furthermore, research in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation indicated significant reductions in international conflict and global terrorism during three large coherence-creating assemblies of TM and TM-Sidhi experts, as measured by analysing data from the Rand Corporation.

Conclusion

Over 50 demonstrations and 28 empirical research studies published in leading peer-reviewed scholarly journals or professional conference proceedings have shown that large groups of experts are practising these technologies. Once the threshold number of the square root of 1% of a population is reached or surpassed, results include significant reductions in violence, crime, accidents, sickness, terrorism, and war.

Jan. 5—SCRANTON — Amid the ongoing shortage of health care professionals, the Wright Center for Community Health has announced a new 12-month nurse practitioner postgraduate fellowship program beginning this September.

A media release says the program in family medicine "provides hands-on clinical experience for newly minted nurse practitioners."

An increasingly common part of doctor offices and clinics, nurse practitioners "are quickly becoming the health partners of choice for millions of Americans," according to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners website, aanp.org. The Association describes the profession as "clinicians that blend clinical expertise in diagnosing and treating health conditions with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management," and notes Americans now make more than a billion visits a year to nurse practitioners.

The Wright Center is accepting a limited number of applications for this "first fellowship program in the region." The media release notes "Nurse practitioners who have licenses and are entering their first year of practice can apply to the program in January." To make an application, email twc-np-fellowship@thewrightcenter.org.

"The focus of our fellowship is to provide nurse practitioners who want to remain in family practice with the experience they need to provide high-quality primary and preventive care to the communities we serve in Northeast Pennsylvania," Joshua Braddell said in the release. Braddell is a certified registered nurse practitioner, director of the fellowship program, and medical director of the Wright Center for Community Health Mid Valley Practice. Kelly Morgan is the fellowship program coordinator.

"The new fellowship provides experience in pediatrics, mental and behavioral health, infectious disease, and addiction treatment and recovery services at The Wright Center for Community Health's Clarks Summit, Mid Valley, and Scranton practices," according to the release.

The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) has released the second phase of its NAPNAP Cares program, which first launched with 10 courses in June 2023. The program contains online continuing education (CE) courses focused on pediatric mental health. “This expert-developed library of courses prepares pediatric-focused nurse practitioners [NPs] and advanced practice registered nurses [APRN] to meet the growing mental and behavioral health care needs of pediatric patients and their families,” according to a press release from NAPNAP.

“With these new additions to the NAPNAP Cares course library, NPs across practice settings now have even more opportunity to dive deeper into mental health conditions affecting pediatric patients and provide life-changing help to those who are struggling,” said NAPNAP President Regena Spratling, PhD, RN, APRN, CPNP-PC, FAANP, FAAN. “By focusing on each step of mental health care, from evaluation and diagnostic decision-making to ongoing management, this curriculum promotes positive patient outcomes at a critical time.”

Recent media reports of an alarming surge in child visits to the emergency department due to mental health crises highlight the need for more education and specialty care in pediatric mental health issues.

NAPNAP Cares has grown to feature 20 online courses, all of which are free for NAPNAP members for up to 1 year and available for purchase by non-members. New courses explore a wide range of courses such as sensory processing issues, sleep disorders, health promotion, and anticipatory guidance, among several others. The collection includes recorded sessions, presentation handouts, and online resources to help support individuals as they set their learning schedules and expand their knowledge of pediatric mental health.

“We have seen an amazing response from the thousands of members and dedicated PNPs and APRNs who are already taking advantage of these resources,” said James H. Wendorf, NAPNAP Executive Director. “Whether you are working towards your professional certification or wanting to expand your pediatric mental health knowledge and skills, NAPNAP Cares can help you achieve your specific goals. Most importantly, every enrollment helps put us further on the path to better mental health care for kids.”

The second 10 courses are available now, along with the first set of 10 courses launched in June 2023.
