Our Story
Providing Proven Programs for the Health, Well-being,
and Success of the Individual
For over 50 years we have been offering the Transcendental Meditation technique and its advanced programs to the people of Atlantic Canada. Our team of certified Transcendental Meditation teachers come from a variety of professional backgrounds including health, education, business, and community development. Over the past 55 years, more than 650 published research studies have established the TM technique as the most effective technique for enhancing health and unfolding the full creative potential of the individual.
Establishing a "Group for a Government" to Optimize
the Success of Governmental Achievements
and Create "Invincibility for the Nation"
Over the last 40 years more than 60 demonstration projects, published in more than 20 independent peer-reviewed journals have established that when only a small group in society (1% of the population) practices the Transcendental Meditation technique, and only the square root of 1% practice the Advanced TM-Sidhis program together in one place, negative tendencies are reduced and positive tendencies are increased throughout society. Through the establishment of such a coherence-creating group, any government can gain the support of Nature's government to ensure that their administration is as effective as the government of nature.
A New Paradigm
Employing The Field Effect of Consciousness to Improve the Quality of Life in Society
Published Research on Broad-Based Improvements in the Quality of Life
A series of four peer-reviewed studies published in 2016–2017 demonstrated that when a large U.S.-based group of experts practicing the Brain-Based Approach to Peace (the TM and TM-Sidhis programs) reached the required threshold size ( the square root of 1% of the population) in 2007–2010, measurable positive change took place throughout the entire nation across a wide range of social indicators. These outcomes included statistically significant decreases in rates of homicide, violent crime, motor vehicle fatalities, accidental deaths, drug-related deaths, and infant mortality. These broad-based outcomes support the theoretical proposal that group practice of this approach to peace creates a spillover field effect throughout society that positively impacts overall quality of life (SAGE Open 6 (2): 1–16, 2016; Journal of Health and Environmental Research 3 (3-1): 32–43, 2017; Journal of Consciousness Studies 24 (1–2): 53–86, 2017; SAGE Open 7 (1): 1–15, 2017).
A 17-year study replicated and extended these findings, confirming a holistic improvement in diverse measures of quality of life during the experimental period. This overall improvement cannot plausibly be accounted for by alternative possible explanations for the observed changes in the individual social indicators. These outcomes, as well as the significant predicted reversal of these effects after the experimental period ends, lend support to the theory of a field effect of consciousness underlying social change (World Journal of Social Science 9 (2): 1–38 2022).

The Goal of the Association for Well-Being, Peace and Enlightenment
The Association will build a Peace Palace on a Nova Scotia shore, from which to teach Transcendental Meditation, the TM- Sidhis program and all the Vedic Science and Technology Consciousness-based Programs brought to the world by his holiness, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who revived the Vedic Knowledge in his 50 years of teaching in the world (1957-2008). All program offerings shall be under the aegis of the Global Country of World Peace and the Canadian Women for Wellness Foundation/Initiative and other Maharishi educational organizations.
The Association will create a Peace Village on the Peace Palace land to house the required number of Well-Being and Peace Practitioners (square root of 1% of the population) to create an improved quality of life for the individual and invincibility for the nation as demonstrated in the above studies: 80 practitioners to create the effect for Nova Scotia; 125 for Atlantic Canada; and 650 for the entire nation.
in December 1983, Maharishi assembled for the first time more than 7,000 Yogic Flyers from all over the world to create global coherence in world consciousness and thereby give the world a ‘Sample Taste of Utopia’. This experiment, conducted at Maharishi International University (now Maharishi University of Management) in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, from 17 December 1983 to 6 January 1984, was the first experiment to create world peace through the Global Maharishi Effect. First Experiment to Create the Global Maharishi Effect 7,000 experts in Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme in the presence of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, creating a ‘Taste of Utopia’ for all mankind, Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA, 17 December 1983 to 6 January 1984.
