There is some evidence that meditation has a positive effect on individuals and society?
I live at Fairfield, Iowa … American Center for the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, transcendental meditation movement. I am surrounded by friends and associates who make dramatic statements on the positive effects of meditation is the individual and the effects on society as a whole. on the individual they claim that inner peace and will end if someone meditates long enough may develop Super natural ability. RELM in society, they tell me for example, that a group of 4000 TMers meditate for hours in Washington DC has helped reduce the crime rate and improve mood gernal population. They also told me there is a myriad of studies to demonstrate the validity of their claims, but I can not find anything outside of articles put out by local "Maharishi University of Management. I was hoping somone could give some information on how to fight logically these claims or point me to some good reading on the subject.
In general: meditation can help people deal with chronic / acute pain, dependence and stress. Some consider that close to any divine worship them. Perhaps a Google search on meditation and its benefits would help?
