The results of these interventions included: •  war-related fatalities decreased by 71% | p < 10–10 • war-related injuries fell by 68% | p < 10–6 • the level of conflict dropped by 48% | p < 10–8 • cooperation among antagonists increased by 66% | p < 10–6 The likelihood that these combined results were due to chance is less than one part in 1019, making this approach of reducing societal stress and conflict the most rigorously established approach in the history of conflict management.9 Replications of Lebanon study This meta-analysis shows increases in a Peace-War Index during seven assemblies of experts practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program (Davies and Alexander, 2005)9 1.50– – 1.25– – 1.00– – 0.75– – 0.50– – 0.25– – 0.00– – -0.25– Non-experimental period Israel (t = 5.27) Utopia, USA (t = 3.78) Lebanon (t = 3.38) Yugoslavia (t = 5.27) Fairfield, USA (t = 2.46) Netherlands (t = 2.98) Washington, DC, USA (t = 2.75) a brain - base d approach to peace 17
