“Coherence-creation” via meditation would reduce stress
We propose the immediate deployment in Yugoslavia of a “coherence-creating” group--approximately 7000 experts in Transcendental Meditation. Such a group would reduce stress and tension in the Kosovo region and create a
coherent and harmonious environment throughout Yugoslavia that would compel Milosevic to adopt a peaceful solution. This “coherence-creating” strategy has been successfully employed many times to reduce international conflict, crime, and violence.
