Doug, it *may* be a better approach. However, it has, as of yet, to really be proven. To the average person, it sounds more than a bit much. Maybe one day the* movement* will allow independent studies of all of their claims. Till then, we are perceived as snake- oil salesmen and not taken seriously. The general public sees us as a benign cult and a bunch or weirdos that dress and talk funny and generally have odd behavior and beliefs. But one day....

The Maharishi Invincibility Centre in Brussels is very strategically located only a few hundred meters from the conference hall of the EU Leaders. The meditating Assemblies start early in the morning on Thursdays, so it is recommended that participants arrive in Brussels on Wednesday evenings. The Assemblies end on Sundays after lunch. This course is offered for free. We can help you find suitable accommodation. To apply, send your email to brussels@maharishi.netLooking forward to welcoming at least 108 meditators in Brussels on all these occasions – please bring one or two friends!
