Transcendental
Meditation (TM) is an easy to learn, effortless and enjoyable
mental technique of deep relaxation and rest, practised for 15-20
minutes in the morning and evening, while sitting comfortably.
Transcendental
Meditation brings a deep inner tranquillity that is both
relaxing and revitalising. It dissolves stress and fatigue,
promoting inner happiness, better health, and increased creativity
and intelligence, allowing the enjoyment of dynamic activity
during the day and refreshing sleep at night.
Transcendental
Meditation brings about unique scientifically validated
benefits. Research has been conducted on TM in over 214
independent universities and research institutes, and published in
many major scientific journals, including: Science, The Lancet and
Scientific American. The research confirms that Transcendental
Meditation is unique both in terms of the physiological changes
brought about during the technique, and in the range and magnitude
of its benefits.
Transcendental
Meditation can be practised by anyone. Indeed, over five
million people worldwide, and almost 40,000 in Ireland, from all
sections of society, have learned the technique. It is very simple
to learn and practise, and unlike some other techniques, does not
take years to master. TM is a technique, not a way of life. When
you learn you do not become a member of an organisation or cult.
TM is natural, effortless, refreshing and enjoyable. In fact,
practising TM is a bit like taking a 'mental bath'. It allows all
the stresses of the day to be released in a natural way.
"Transcendental
Meditation opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of
energy, creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within
everyone.
"By enlivening this most basic level
of life, Transcendental Meditation is that one simple
procedure which can raise the life of every individual and
every society to its full dignity, in which problems are
absent and perfect health, happiness, and a rapid pace of
progress are the natural features of life."
Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi, Founder of Transcendental Meditation
