The Transcendental Meditation Technique releases accumulated stress in your body, improves your health, and reverses the effects of ageing.

Benefits for Your Body

Doctors estimate that 80 to 90 percent of all health problems are caused or aggravated by stress. Stress can also accelerate the ageing process. The Transcendental Meditation technique is the world’s most scientifically validated programme for decreasing stress, improving health, and reversing the effects of ageing.

“I encourage all my patients to practise Transcendental Meditation. Experience shows, and research confirms, that it is the best vaccine against stress-related conditions. Regular practice keeps you inwardly settled despite being surrounded by chaos.”
—Dr. Donn Brennan (MRCGP), General Practitioner

“Numerous comparative research studies have found TM to be twice as effective as other techniques in reducing anxiety, high blood pressure and overall cardiovascular disease and increasing longevity.”
—Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D.

Rest is the Basis of Activity

As the mind settles down to quieter levels during the Transcendental Meditation technique, the body experiences a very deep level of rest. Breathing naturally becomes softer, the muscles relax, and more blood flows to the brain. Even the blood chemistry changes—decreased levels of stress hormones indicate a more rested state.

This simple and effortless technique provides the entire system with a level of rest that is far deeper than sitting with the eyes closed or taking a nap. This deep level of rest helps neutralize accumulated stress and fatigue, allowing the body’s self-repair mechanisms to get to work. After meditation, people often find they feel much more refreshed and energetic.

Benefits for Daily Life

Scientific research shows that the deep rest gained during the Transcendental Meditation technique allows the body to return to a more balanced state. It helps normalize high blood pressure, reduce high cholesterol levels, improve bronchial asthma, and provide relief from insomnia. It can even improve reaction time and athletic performance.

People who practise the Transcendental Meditation technique say they have less stress, more energy, better sleep, and less tension in their life. Many find it easier to reduce alcohol use, stop smoking, and let go of unhealthy habits. Research also shows that they have lower medical costs, fewer doctor visits, and less hospitalization.

Reversal of Ageing

Ageing is accelerated by stress, but many effects of the ageing process can be stopped and actually reversed. By minimizing wear and tear caused by stress, the Transcendental Meditation technique promotes both good health and greater youthfulness. Researchers found that people who had practised the Transcendental Meditation technique for more than five years had a biological age twelve years younger than their chronological age. Why not take advantage of this natural way to live a longer and happier life?
