In the court transcripts of Kropinski vs Yogi and in public domain the
TM-Sidhi program  has been published.

During one court hearing the *movement* attempted to acquire a temporary
restraining order - to stop former members from revealing the program. 
They argued that  former members had signed  agreement forms not to
disclose  the program.  The judge did not agree with the movements argument.

So here is the program for free:

The TM-Sidhi program is nothing other than a set of sutras (words or
phrases), mentally repeated every fifteen seconds after doing a twenty
minute session of TM.  Each sutra is mentally repeated twice (if time allows 4
times) - a 15 second pause in between each repetition.

The sutras used in the TM-Sidhi program are:
Friendliness
Compassion
Happiness
StrengTH of an elephant
Bronchial tube
Inner light
Sun
Moon
Polestar
Trachea
Navel
Distinction between intellect and transcendence
Transcendence intition
Transcendence finest hearing
Transcendence finest sight
Transcendence finest taste 
Transcendence finest smell

The much touted *levitation* or yogic flying technique is a sutra repeated
in the same way as other sutras:
RELATIONSHIP OF BODY AND AKASHA - LIGHTNESS OF COTTON FIBER.

After doing the flying sutra for 5-30 minutes, the instruction is to rest
for 10-30 minutes and then read the Hindu Scriptures for -10 minutes.

An example of the readings (from the Ninth Mandala of Rig Veda)
"Flow Soma, in a most sweet and exhilarating stream, effused for Indra to
drink.  The all-beholding destroyer of Rakshasas has stepped upon his
gold-smitten birthplace, united with the wooden cast.  Be the lavish giver
of wealth,  most bounteous, the destroyer of enemies; bestow on us the
riches of the affluent.  Come with food to the sacrifice of the mighty
gods, and bring us strength and sustenance.  To thee we come,  O dropping
Soma;  for thee only is this our worship day  by day, our prayers are to
thee, none other."

I spent seven years hopping around in a trance state, save your money,
save your time, save your ability to think, don't  bother with TM.
