What is Transcendental Meditation?
Transcendental Meditation® (TM) is a scientifically validated, simple, and natural technique for reducing stress and enhancing mental clarity, focus, and overall wellbeing. Unlike other forms of meditation, TM requires no effort or concentration—making it easy for anyone to learn and practice.
The TM technique involves sitting comfortably with your eyes closed for 20 minutes, twice daily. During this time, the mind naturally and effortlessly transcends active thought to experience a unique state of restful alertness, often referred to as pure consciousness. This deep inner silence allows the body to achieve profound relaxation while the mind becomes calm and clear.
Practicing Transcendental Meditation regularly can help you feel more centred, energised, and resilient. It is a proven method for unlocking your full potential—supporting greater creativity, better health, and emotional balance in everyday life.
Why Transcendental Meditation is Unique
Transcendental Meditation stands out for its effortless nature. Unlike other meditation techniques, TM requires no concentration, mindfulness, or mental control—making it accessible and effective for people of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Scientific studies have consistently shown that the deep relaxation achieved during TM surpasses that of other meditation and relaxation techniques. This profound level of rest enables the body to release deeply rooted stress, while the mind effortlessly settles into a calm, clear, and alert state.
One of the most remarkable features of TM is the increased brainwave coherence (as measured by EEG) during practice. This coherence is associated with a wide range of cognitive and emotional benefits, including: Enhanced memory and learning ability, Better problem-solving and decision-making skills, Increased creativity and innovation, Improved moral reasoning, and Stronger academic performance.
The Benefits
Over 10 million people worldwide have learned the TM technique, supported by hundreds of scientific studies conducted at top universities and research institutions. These studies consistently highlight the wide-ranging benefits of TM across mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
With regular practice, TM naturally dissolves built-up stress and fatigue, helping to reduce anxiety, depression, insomnia, and substance abuse, as well as other stress-related disorders. The profound rest gained during each session has been scientifically shown to lower high blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, and support overall physical wellbeing.
Beyond the measurable health benefits, TM practitioners often report feeling more mentally clear, emotionally balanced, and creatively inspired. The deep inner calm and renewed energy that come with daily practice help support a more focused, joyful, and resilient approach to everyday life.
