Introducing the TM-Sidhi Program
“If we have practiced the TM-Sidhi program, then the conscious mind will always start thinking from that deepest level of the self-referral state of intelligence. And any thought that emerges consciously from there has the support of all the laws of nature. And any thought with the full support of natural law will always be fulfilled quickly, without loss of time, without struggle and strife.” — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
What Is the TM-Sidhi Program?
The Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Program® (TM-Sidhi program) is a simple, natural, effortless advanced technique that accelerates the personal growth gained from the Transcendental Meditation technique. The TM-Sidhi program is designed to enhance the growth of creativity, learning ability, physical health, psychological well-being, and other benefits that TM practitioners report.
How Does It Work?
During our TM practice, the mind settles down effortlessly to a state of deep inner silence—pure consciousness, the rich source of creativity and intelligence within. During the more advanced TM-Sidhi program, we learn how to enliven that inner silence—to think and act from that level of pure consciousness.
Benefits of the TM-Sidhi Program
Learning to function from the deeper, more profound level of the mind results in thoughts and actions that are more powerful and effective. Practice of the TM-Sidhi program creates greater brainwave coherence, which is correlated with higher levels of creativity, intelligence, and inner happiness, ultimately resulting in the development of our full potential—the experience of higher states of consciousness.
Students who took the TM-Sidhi Course significantly increased in alpha EEG coherence over four months compared to a matched control group. Brainwave coherence is correlated with higher levels of creativity, intelligence, and inner happiness.

Research
Research on the TM-Sidhi program confirms a wide range of benefits, even more pronounced than with TM practice alone, including:
- Improved neurophysiological functioning (broadband EEG coherence)
- Improved cognitive and perceptual abilities
- Greater mental and physical health
- Increased vitality and longevity
Creating a More Peaceful World
In addition to the personal benefits of practicing the TM-Sidhi program, strong research has shown that group practice increases coherence that spills over into the environment, as demonstrated by reduced negative tendencies, such as lower crime and social conflict.
