General Info

Transcendental Meditation® (TM® program ) is a completely natural, effortless mental technique during which the mind settles down to experience quieter and quieter levels of the thinking process. The physiology becomes more deeply rested than in sleep yet at the same time, the brain is highly alert. Research shows that the unique quality of rest gained by both mind and body allows stress and tiredness to be released in a natural way, resulting in greater energy, clearer thinking and more enjoyment and success in life. Daily experience of the state of restful alertness enjoyed during the practice of TM leads to increased creativity, improved learning ability, higher IQ, better moral reasoning, more efficient brain functioning and a wide array of health benefits—ranging from normalized blood pressure and reduced need for doctor visits to a younger biological age. During the past 20 years the NIH has awarded more than $24 million to study the health benefits. The scientific research on the TM program is the largest and strongest body of research in the world on any program to develop human potential. TM requires no effort or concentration, no special skills or change of lifestyles or beliefs. TM is not a religion or a philosophy. It is easily learned by anyone of any age or ability.
