Creating Coherence Meeting
2025-09-02 14:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With a TM Teacher John Cowhig and Special Guest Dr. Neil Paterson.
Last week our guest, Dr. Neil Paterson, explained how Maharishi personally intervened to prevent potentially catastrophic conflicts between nations, including the Cuban missile crisis and other potential flashpoints. He explained the coherence-creating effect on a society when large groups meditate or practice the advanced TM programmes together.
This Tuesday, 2nd September, he will present a slide show of several such large groups we have created around the world, including in Nepal, India, Tanzania, Uganda, and other countries.
Neil is the Director of Administration for the International Transcendental Meditation Organization and is on the board of directors of and involved with most of its major projects worldwide.
In the 1970s, Neil was Maharishi’s personal secretary and went on to oversee all of the organization’s activities in North America. Since then, he has served in countless senior roles around the world, working directly with Maharishi. He now serves Dr. Tony Nader as one of his most capable executives.
Please join us for an insight into the wonderful groups of meditators around the globe; assemblies dedicated to mitigating stress in the world’s atmosphere.
The event will take place at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT, starting with a group meditation.

Body Awareness: How to Handle Negative Emotions
2025-09-07 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher John Cowhig.

Negative emotions, such as fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, depression, and so on hurt our lives and hinder our progress.
In an enlightening audio tape from the Paradise Tahoe Course in 1968, Maharishi gives us a profound insight: even though negative emotions — he uses the example of fear — seem to come from the mind, the mind is closely linked to the nervous system. Somewhere in the body, something starts to function abnormally, and this triggers corresponding disruptions in the mind.
Moods are hardware and software working in concert: fear, for example, is a negative sensation and a negative thought woven together.
In this tape, Maharishi gives us a simple strategy: direct attention to the physical sensations associated with the negative emotion and you will bring more life energy to that part of the body. This will help restore normal functioning quickly and thoroughly.
When Maharishi explained this procedure at the Queen’s University course in 1972, he pointed out that even if someone doesn’t meditate, just understanding they can address challenging moods through the body — no need to sort out the mental storm — will be a great relief to the person.
Please join us to understand the principle behind the healing influence of
body awareness.
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.
