What is Transcendental Meditation?
The Transcendental Meditation® (TM) technique is a simple, uniquely effortless mental technique which is easy to learn and practice.
TM is practiced for 20 minutes twice a day, sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.
As you practice TM, your mind gradually settles into a quiet, deeply restful state of ‘pure consciousness’—a peaceful inner awareness. At the same time, your body experiences profound physical relaxation.
TM offers a natural and reliable approach to feeling calmer, more centered, and mentally refreshed—supporting better focus, health, and overall well-being in everyday life.
What makes Transcendental Meditation Unique?
Transcendental Meditation stands out for its simplicity and ease. Unlike other techniques, it doesn’t require focusing, controlling thoughts, or trying to clear the mind. The process is entirely natural and effortless.
Scientific studies have shown that the level of rest experienced during TM goes beyond that of typical meditation or relaxation practices.
One of the most remarkable aspects of TM is the brainwave coherence (as measured by EEG) that occurs during practice. This heightened brain function has been linked to a variety of benefits—such as sharper memory, better decision-making and problem-solving skills, increased creativity, enhanced moral reasoning, and stronger academic performance.
The Benefits of Transcendental Meditation
More than ten million people around the world have learnt the Transcendental Meditation technique. Hundreds of scientific studies have been conducted by leading universities and institutions around the world documenting its benefits in all areas of life.
Practicing TM regularly helps release built-up stress and mental fatigue, leading to significant reductions in anxiety, depression, insomnia, and various stress-related issues—including substance abuse. The deep rest experienced during TM has been shown to lower blood pressure, support heart health, and contribute to overall physical well-being.
Many who practice TM report enhanced mental clarity, greater emotional balance, increased happiness, and a boost in creativity—making it a powerful tool for improving both mind and body.
