Reduce Stress and Anxiety With the stress, tension, and fast pace of modern life, relaxation has become a necessity. Medical authorities view stress as a contributing cause to a host of health problems, both mental and physical. For example, heart disease, ulcers, neurosis and depression are some of the widespread stress-related disorders. The TM technique is a highly effective way to dissolve stress and anxiety. In fact, scientific research shows TM to be far more effective than any other known relaxation technique. How it Works During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, the body attains a deep level of rest and relaxation. At the same time, the brain's activity becomes more coherent and integrated than normal. The experience is pleasant and satisfying—deep relaxation combined with an attractive and enlivening increase in the quality of mental alertness. The system loses stress and gains in awareness. Not only are the negative problems of tension, anxiety and fatigue done away with, but they are replaced by a more subtle and rewarding ability to experience life. The state of restful alertness elicited by the TM technique maximizes the abilities of the mind and body to heal themselves naturally. In this way, the negative effects of stress—disorder, disease, and dissatisfaction are replaced with their opposites—increasing order, ease and satisfaction. The deep state of rest produced by the TM technique, along with the more orderly functioning of the nervous system, seems to serve as a balancing element for the entire physical system. Studies indicate that every aspect of the the problem of stress is positively affected. What the Doctors Say Dr. Hari Sharma, professor of Pathology and Director of Cancer Prevention and Natural Products Research at Ohio State University, says: "In truth, the health care crisis is a crisis of stress. There is an epidemic of stress, both in individuals and in society as a whole. Stress breaks down physical and mental health in the individual and creates biochemicals that are destructive to the physical body." In multiple published research studies, Transcendental Meditation has been shown to be the most effective technique for reducing stress and rebalancing the biochemicals in the body to produce improved physical and mental health. This has been corroborated by research showing that Transcendental Meditation reduces health care utilization by 50%.
