How Individual Coherence Increases Collective Coherence - Part 2

<p>How can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime? <br/>Dr. Tony Nader and scientists David Orme-Johnson and Ken Cavanaugh discuss the findings that every individual in the population contributes to national consciousness and, reciprocally, national consciousness influences everyone. <br/>The research is focused on the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and shows how large groups of people practicing this technique have a large positive effect on society, with significant decreases in the national homicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, drug-related death rate, violent crime rate, infant mortality rate, and fatality rate for other accidents. <br/>Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world.
