How can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime?

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.

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.

Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world. Stay tuned for Part 3!
