Transcendental Meditation

Transcendental Meditation (TM) is an eyes-closed, silent, mantra-based technique for “transcending” distracting thoughts and promoting relaxed awareness and a state of pure consciousness. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi brought the technique from India to the United States in the 1960s as meditation started to grow in popularity in the Western world. Practitioners of Transcendental Meditation have used it both in spiritual and secular practice, and it is said to relieve anxiety and lower our stress level.
