Introduction to Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Transcendental Meditation, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is a simple technique which is practised for 15-20 minutes twice each day sitting comfortably in a chair with the eyes closed.

During this time the mind settles down in a natural and spontaneous way until the finest level of thinking is transcended¹ and the mind is left in a state of deep restful alertness.

This experience is deeply refreshing for the mind (as if you are taking a mental bath) and afterwards you feel clearer and brighter.

In addition, as the mind settles down, the body also achieves a unique state of deep rest, which is quite unlike the rest achieved during a night¹s sleep. This allows deep-rooted stresses  which are responsible for a high proportion of illnesses  to be released in a natural way, and the body to be normalised.

Research on the health benefits of Transcendental Meditation show that the experience is characterised by deep physiological rest, increased orderliness of brain functioning, and features directly opposite to the effects of stress.

People who practise TM regularly go to the doctor about half as much as controls, and have significantly reduced health care costs.

TM is particularly helpful for stress-related conditions, such as migraine, high blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety, abuse of alcohol and cigarettes, angina and asthma.
