An Alternative Sentencing Program
Dear Visitors: Welcome Welcome to the homepage of The Enlightened Sentencing Project. We are offering a consciousness-based approach to criminal rehabilitation. We use the Transcendental Stress Management® program and proven programs for stress reduction, including neuro-muscular integration exercises (yoga) and neuro-respiratory techniques. (If you are interested in learning the Transcendental Stress Management program for your own benefit, and are not an offender, click here.) We hope that our website will serve as a resource for those of you in search of an alternative sentencing program that is highly effective. Several judges in St Louis, Missouri, and one in Illinois, have sentenced probationers and parolees to the course of instruction offered by The Enlightened Sentencing Project, as a condition of their probation. The graduates from our program report a remarkable transformation in their lives, and their stories can be read under Experiences. They are moving and inspiring. Anecdotal evidence is complemented by ongoing research on participants in the TESP program. Psychological tests are administered pre and post-participation. A study is being undertaken to gauge the long-term results of the program as far as it affects recidivism rates. See a slide presentation on our Ongoing Research. Our website provides Endorsements of our program from Senator the Hon. Rita Heard Days of the Missouri Legislature, several judges, probation and parole officers and from the probationers themselves. Other topics featured on our website are:
We are also pleased to offer a wide range of materials on our program,
which you can order from our website - videotapes, information packages,
and a book of experiences of our graduates.

A book __________ The
Endorsements page ________ It should not be a function of psychology to remind a man that his past was miserable, or that his surroundings and circumstances were unfavorable, or that his associations were depressing and discouraging, or that there was a lack of love and harmony with those near to him. To remind anyone of such things will only result in lowering his consciousness. It should be considered criminal to tell anyone that his individual life is based on the inefficient and degenerate influence of his past environment. The psychological influence of such depressing information is demoralizing, and the inner core of the heart becomes twisted by it. Maharishi __________ Quote corroborated by Probationer Keith M. "When you sit around talking about drugs all day, you keep talking about you did this and you did that, when you was [sic] on drugs, you're bringing yourself down, you ain't picking yourself up. And you keep on talking about it and you keep on playing with it in your mind. It ain't gonna be long before you go out and use it again! We know what the drugs do to us. Give us something in place of the drugs. ...I'm trying to get OFF drugs! It didn't make no (sic) sense" 2-8-05 __________
