People often ask the question – What is a TM-Sidha? Well, we use the term TM-Sidha for a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (TM) who has accomplished the extensive training for the more advanced TM meditation – the TM-Sidhi program. This training includes the yogic flying technique.
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of TM in the West, laid down the training program in the late 1970s. He adapted the traditional Vedic principles of the TM-Sidhi meditation program to modern western needs and constraints.
Since then Maharishi and his TM organisation has trained up tens of thousands of TM-Sidhas across the globe. And the evidence is that where these TM-Sidhas meditate together in large groups they prove to have an amazingly positive impact. Where ever they are Sidhas reduce crime, violent conflict, and terrorism through their silent meditation. Even open warfare declines or evaporates.
There is a problem however in the context of world peace. The point is that TM-Sidhas are essentially private citizens located in a variety of different countries. Unfortunately, this means they are not available to meditate together in one place, at least for any length of time.
The opportunity for world peace
This lack of availability is a great shame for world peace creation. This is because there is always a dramatic calming effect on society when the numbers in a group of TM-Sidhas reach more than the square root of 1% of any given population. At the precise point when a group achieves the square root of 1%, the magic happens. We get an immediate and dramatic reduction of negativity, hostility and violence across the subject society. This effect is sometimes known as the Super Radiance effect and is also known as the Extended Maharishi effect.
The phase transition
The immediate impact of the square root of 1% effect is referred to as a “phase transition”.
Scientists use the term phase transition to denote the change in a feature of a physical system that results in a discrete transition of that system to another state. For example, the boiling of water is a phase transition of water from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
In the context of the Super Radiance effect, the phase transition kicks in immediately the square root figure has been reached for any given population. The process, once started, really is very fast, which is why we claim that we will create world peace in 24 hours.
Functioning from a state of expanded consciousness
During the TM-Sidhi programme and especially, Yogic Flying, the awareness is trained to function from the level of the Unified Field or Transcendental Consciousness.
The TM-Sidhi practice develops the ability to think and act from the most coherent and integrated state of brain activity, the most subtle and powerful level of awareness sometimes called Transcendental Consciousness and also sometimes referred to as the Unified Field of Natural Law.

During TM-Sidhi Yogic Flying, at the moment of maximum global coherence in brain wave activity, the body lifts up.
This indicates profound integration between consciousness and its material expression, the human physiology.
Maximum coherence in brain functioning
Yogic Flying naturally achieves maximum coherence in brain functioning. And this coherence results in a high degree of mind-body coordination during daily life and the ability to easily fulfill desires simply through the power of intention.

As the body lifts up in the first stage of Yogic Flying, individual practitioners report experiences of exhilaration, greater inner silence and unbounded awareness.
The systematic stabilization of dynamism and silence together enlivens the full creative potential of brain physiology.
Yogic Flying thus accelerates evolution towards total brain functioning usually called enlightenment.
