Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a technique of meditation that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced in the mid-1950s. It is a simple, natural, and effortless technique that involves the use of a mantra, which is a sound or phrase that is repeated silently in the mind.
The practice of TM involves sitting comfortably with eyes closed and silently repeating the mantra for 15-20 minutes, twice a day. The mantra is chosen for each individual by a trained TM teacher based on factors such as age, gender, and personal characteristics.
The goal of TM is to achieve a state of deep relaxation and inner peace, while also promoting mental clarity and focus. TM is often practiced for stress reduction and overall wellness, and research has suggested that it may have a range of health benefits, including reducing anxiety, improving cardiovascular health, and enhancing cognitive function.
TM is taught through a standardized course of instruction by certified TM teachers, and it is typically practiced twice a day for 15-20 minutes each session. The technique has gained popularity and has been embraced by many individuals in various fields, including business, education, and healthcare.
