The Transcendental MeditationŪ Technique The Transcendental Meditation program is a program to develop the full potential of the individual - both mental and physical. This means development of full intelligence, full creativity, maximally efficient functioning of the nervous system, superb mind-body coordination, and a strong and flexible physiology. The TMŪ technique is a simple, easy-to-learn mental technique which produces a state of rest much deeper than the rest gained during deep sleep. This very deep state of rest allows the body, in a very natural and easy way, to dissolve deeply rooted stress. The founder of the TM program, Maharish Mahesh Yogi, described stress as physiological wear and tear on the nervous system caused by undue pressure or an overload of experience.
Stress is believed to be the major factor in the occurrence of psychosomatic illness.
As the system accumulates stress, it functions less efficiently, and resistance
to disease diminishes. This process appears to be reversed by the regular practice
of the Transcendental Meditation technique. |

| During the practice of the TM technique, the mind systematically experiences more refined mental activity.There is no effort to relax. Because mental activity and physiological activity are inseparable, the body naturally settles down as the mind enjoys this quiet. Relaxation occurs spontaneously. As the mind and body experience this unique state of rest, the body follows its natural tendency to heal itself, and eliminates accumulated stress in an easy and natural way. The TM technique is not a form of hypnosis. When a person practices the TM technique, he does not go into a trance or any kind of unnatural state. What a person experiences during the practice has been described by researchers as "restful alertness". This style of functioning is characterized by deep metabolic rest coupled with an unprecedented orderliness of brain functioning - orderliness which is not found in sleep or other forms of relaxation. This indicates that the kind of rest gained during the practice of the TM technique is unique.
There have been over 600 independent research studies done on the TM technique.
Research indicates that regular practice of the TM tecnhique results in the following: In Indianapolis call Dr. Richard or Lois Neate at (317) 225-4386. In other states call toll free 1-888-LEARN-TM |
