During TM your mind effortlessly transcends mental activity and experiences pure consciousness at the source of thought, while your body experiences a unique state of restful alertness.
This deep rest allows stress and tiredness to be released in a natural way. Practised on a daily basis, the result for the practitioner is a growing experience of better health, greater energy, increasing mental clarity and deeper enjoyment of life.
Generally with TM, you find you can achieve more with less effort, and that work, recreation and relationships are more rewarding.
Importantly, benefits are cumulative with regular practice and a number of studies document this fact.

I came out of the Himalayas with a method designed to raise both the head and the heart of man to the point where knowledge and appreciation of the quality of his higher nature can be attained. I call my method Transcendental Meditation, but it is, in fact, a technique of self-exploration; it enables a man to dive into the innermost reaches of his being, in which dwells the essence of life and the source of all wisdom, all creativity, all peace, and all happiness. It is that place which has been called, in the Christian teaching, the “Kingdom of Heaven within”. His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - 1961 Founder of TM |
