The TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION® Program and Maharishi Medical Centers The Transcendental Meditation (TM®) program has been found to benefit all aspects of one's health and is an integral part of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to HealthSM which utilizes the complete knowledge of Natural Law available in the 40 aspects of Veda and Vedic Literature -- the 40 aspects of Natural Law -- which have recently been discovered in the 40 aspects of human physiology. The Transcendental Meditation program is a simple, natural, effortless technique practiced for 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. During the TM technique the individual's awareness settles down and experiences a unique state of restful alertness: as the body becomes deeply relaxed, the mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form of human awareness -- Transcendental Consciousness -- where consciousness is open to itself. The experience of the self-referral state of Transcendental Consciousness enlivens orderliness, dynamism, and creativity within the mind resulting in greater effectiveness and success in daily life. The deep rest gained during the practice increases energy and dissolves accumulated stress, restoring inner balance and integration to the physiology. Regular practice of the TM technique systematically unfolds one's full potential: enlivening the inner intelligence of the body, and developing higher states of consciousness. Scientific research conducted during the past twenty-five years on the Transcendental Meditation program has documented a wide range of benefits in all areas of life. Over 500 scientific studies, conducted at more that 214 independent research institutions in 30 countries and published in 112 scientific journals, demonstrate the holistic nature of these benefits. Since Maharishi Mahesh Yogi brought this universal technique to the United States in 1959, over one and a half million Americans of all ages, professions, religions, and cultural backgrounds have learned the Transcendental Meditation program. The technique is taught individually by qualified teachers of the TM program, and can be learned easily by anyone. The TM program is taught through Maharishi Vedic Universities and their affiliates throughout the U.S. Maharishi Medical Centers highly recommend the practice of the TM technique for the maintainence of good health and recommend contacting your local MVU or MAU for more information.
