Improve Personal Relationships "A strong mind is tolerant; a weak mind is easily overcome by the surroundings." —Maharishi Through the Transcendental Meditation program we gain inner strength, physiological balance, contentment, and broadened awareness which enable us to give more attention, appreciation, and love to family and friends, and continually grow in effectiveness in professional and personal life. The World Is as You Are It's a common experience: One morning you wake up as tired as when you went to sleep. The day moves slowly; complications arise; problems seem to be overwhelming. You feel worried, relationships suffer. But the next morning, after a good night rest, you feel fresh and alert. The circumstances of the previous day may remain the same, but your evaluation of them differs dramatically. You are more relaxed, yet more energetic, more productive. Relationships are smoother, more harmonious. Why the difference? Basically, it's because the world is as you are. Put on green glasses and everything appears green. Put on yellow glasses and everything is yellow. Look through tired eyes with an anxious mind and your vision is clouded with problems, many of which, in reality, may not exist. Look through fresh eyes with an alert, creative mind and you are better able to see solutions to the problems that do exist. When you are rested and fresh, you have the stability, adaptability, energy and intelligence to solve problems and make improvements in all areas of your life. What is needed? A fully developed consciousness. Good Social Behavior In his book Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi writes: "Really good social behavior between people will only be possible when their awareness is broadened, when they are able to see the whole situation, to understand each other more thoroughly, to be aware of each other's need and attempt to fulfill that need. This naturally necessitates a fully developed consciousness, a right sense of judgment, and all the qualities that only a strong and clear mind possesses." And without this developed consciousness? "Small minds always fail to perceive the whole situation and in their narrow vision create imaginary obstacles that are neither useful to themselves nor to anyone else," Maharishi writes. "Then their behavior towards others only results in misunderstanding and increase of tension." Transcendental Meditation and Relationships It's a matter of common sense to understand how Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation program can improve relationships. With broader vision you'll be naturally more understanding and patient. Because you have an effective way to eliminate stress and develop your own unlimited potential, you'll be more fulfilled within yourself, and you won't suffer from the build up of tension and fatigue. The result? More happiness, less worry, more energy, and a fuller heart. Relationships spontaneously improve, and life naturally becomes much more enjoyable, much more satisfying. What the People Say " Right after learning Transcendental Meditation, I noticed that we were able to communicate better with each other -- the edges of things were softer. We always had a good time as a family, but now we're more open to each other, we are able to say more things to each other." -- Dian Gumpf, married for 38 years "Transcendental Meditation allows you to discover just how vast an amount you have to give. You become more secure in yourself by discovering how big you really are; that, in fact , you are infinite. You can give and give and you will never exhaust yourself. In my experience that is the secret of relationships." -- Bruce Brooks, married for 16 years Research: Reduced Anxiety Increased Strength of Self-Concept Increased Self-Actualization Improved Relations at Work Reduced Drug and Alcohol Use Contact Us | Where to Learn TM | FAQ's | TM Research
