Enlightenment magazine interviewed medical doctors on three continents to survey their observations on the Instant Relief program. The physicians note that recent results in North America, Australia and Japan support previous experiences and research reported last year in Europe.

Enlightenment: What results have you seen with the Maharishi Instant Relief Program?

Steele Belok, MD: One person, with chronic insomnia had difficulty falling asleep, and woke up early every morning unable to get back to sleep. Within a couple of sessions, she was able to sleep through the night for the first time in years . A number of participants with osteoarthritis of the back who were suffering from chronic back pain had marked improvements. Obtaining these critical improvements without taking medications, with their associate side effects, is a great benefit for participants of the program.

Byron Rigby, MD: The results have been extremely encouraging. Interesting, in some ways our patients with more severe problems appear to have done at least as well as others with what appear to be more mold difficulties, and in some cases better

For example, a 6-year-old child with cerebral palsy showed greatly increased socialization, capability for skilled movement, and achieved greater control of biological functions during the consultation. The sharp and sudden changes were noted as extremely striking by both parents and teachers.

Makoto Hasumura, MD: We have found that even if a person is too weak to receive the Maharishi Rejuvenation program, he can begin with the Instant Relief program. The participant often experiences not only a reduction in pain, but also an actual increase in vitality. People who receive the Instant Relief program report that they become aware of a very harmonious and soft vibration from inside. And after this becomes stable, their whole physiology becomes stronger and more unshakable.

Enlightenment: What has been the experience when patients undergo the Maharishi Instant Relief Program? Is there any common pattern?

Byron Rigby, MD: Yes. It was most distinctive. At first there was a subtle sense of a deep change in consciousness. This was followed in many cases by physical sensations, and often sleep. Some people then experienced a stirring of their emotions, leading to a personal awakening and a greatly enhanced feeling of warmth, unity and sweetness with others. It was this profound transformation on the level of feeling which many people commented on as the most life-changing experience. Many said that they would not have wanted to miss this growth of unity for anything. Throughout these stages, there was in many people a progressive improvement in their physical symptoms, and in some cases, complete or at least very substantial recovery.

Makoto Hasumura, MD: The most important thing is to restore wholeness. Although getting relief from pain is the purpose of treatment, the participant should be aware of the importance of the removal of deep stress and strain in the physiology.

One person had three coronary arteries which were 70 to 80 percent blocked. After one month, the blockages were reduced to less than 50 percent. In addition to the Instant Relief program, he followed a diet recommended by the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health. As a result, he lost 22 pounds, which contributed to his success with the Instant Relief program. By taking advantage of other aspects of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health program, people are able to receive the fullest benefits of this program.

Steele Belok, MD: People frequently commented that their feeling of well-being was improved, that they felt healthier overall after participating in this program.

Enlightenment: What do you think are the mechanics of these effects?

Makoto Hasumura, MD: Professor Tony Nader has discovered that the human physiology is just the expression of Veda itself. Therefore the whole structure of the human body is based on Vedic vibrations. Just as all the information of the cells in the human body is contained in the DNA, the whole structure and functioning of the body are the expression of Veda.

So if there is any defect in the body causing a disorder, this indicates that there is a mistake in the functioning of the underlying intelligence—in the process of expression of Veda. The Instant Relief program corrects this mistake by providing the proper vibration, a Vedic sound, from outside the body. Once the functioning of the inner intelligence is corrected, the corresponding area of the body naturally and quickly recovers its normal functioning.

Steele Belok, MD: According to both modern science and Maharishi Vedic Science, all forms and phenomena arise out of a Unified Field of Natural Law. We know from the western perspective that the elementary particles of our physical world are simply vibrations. From the perspective of Maharishi Vedic Science, these vibrations in their most subtle form are the Vedic sounds—the ultimate elementary particles and the building blocks of the universe.

The Vedic sounds therefore must also be the building blocks of our own human physiology, as has been discovered and beautifully elaborated by Professor Tony Nader. In using Vedic sounds to address chronic health problems, we are applying the same intelligence which originally structured the body.

Self-organization theory of modern physics proposes that complex systems (such as the human body) have an innate internal organization. Chaos theory tells us that this internal organization can shift from disorderly to orderly patterns very quickly, with just a very small input from outside the system. These two theories offer insights into how a whispered Vedic sound can produce an immediate shift from disorderly to orderly functioning within the human physiology. And Maharishi Vedic Science, most fortunately, provides the technology to enliven the inner intelligence of the body and restore its proper functioning through the Instant Relief program.

Byron Rigby, MD: These transformations arise from the deepest level within the individual's consciousness, and become more manifest and expressed as they progress, eventually emerging on the physical level. In some cases, improvement continued after the end of the program, suggesting a permanent release of the biological intelligence that governs self-repair and self-organization in the body.

I believe that these phenomena, and the capacity to create instant transformations in biological structure and function are a major discovery in medicine, and it is an absolute requirement of responsible medicine not only to research them, but to apply them immediately to the widest possible range of people who could benefit from them.

 Experiences of the Maharishi Instant Relief Program

A physician had experienced stomach pain and digestive difficulties for seven years. He reports his progress after six meetings with the experts in the Instant Relief program:

"In each session, areas where I was having discomfort became highlighted, and at some point during the session, the discomfort would just suddenly leave. The pain was what really went quickly. I felt 30 percent better after the first session, and then 10 to 20 percent better each time.

"It has been four weeks since I finished the consultations, and the pain and discomfort in my stomach is between 80 to 90 percent gone. My digestion is 70 to 80 percent improved, and seems to be improving more with time.

"This is definitely the future of health care. It was so easy and uplifting. It was pure bliss—not like modern medicine where the testing itself can be painful, let alone the treatment. It was extremely worthwhile."

A person with chronic back and neck pain reports:

"During the sessions the pain would not only go away, but was at times replaced by bliss. After the first consultation I felt some soreness and fatigue, and at times some pain would come and go. I took a second consultation, and this time the bliss was much deeper and stronger, and since then there is no lingering pain.

"I feel as if I have a 'new-and-improved' body—the benefits seem to have stabilized. There is still some delicateness in the lower back, but I am free of pain, which had been a worry for almost six years, and overall I feel much stronger now. I am very grateful to Maharishi for this program, and feel that it has great potential to easily bring relief to millions of people."
