Transcendental Meditation-brain coherenceWhat is Transcendental Meditation?

Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is a simple, natural technique practised for 20 minutes morning and evening, while sitting comfortably with eyes closed.

During Transcendental Meditation the mind effortlessly transcends mental activity and experiences pure consciousness at the source
of thought, while the body experiences a unique state of restfulness.

Stress, which hinders creative thinking and dynamic activity is naturally dissolved – resulting in better health, more happiness and success. Transcendental Meditation unfolds the full potential of life.Read More

 New study shows improved brain functioning in ADHD school children
after three months' Transcendental Meditation practice

 

Children with ADHD practise Transcendental Mediotation in class

25 July 2011

 

A new study published last week in Mind & Brain, The Journal of Psychiatry builds upon previous research indicating benefits from practising Transcendental Meditation for children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The new study directly measured brain functioning in 18 children aged 11-14, randomly assigned to the experimental group and the delayed-start control group. See EurekAlert press release for full details.

 

It found significant decreases after three months' practice of Transcendental Meditation, in the key ratio of theta waves to beta waves in the brain, which has previously been found to characterise ADHD.

 

It also found improvements in executive (frontal lobe) functioning, and in ADHD symptoms as reported by the children's parents.


At the end of the research, the parents reported statistically significant improvements in: a) Ability to focus on schoolwork, b) Organisational abilities, c) Ability to work independently, d) Happiness, and e) Quality of sleep.

 

The study was conducted at an independent school in Washington, DC.


"The fact that these children are able to do TM, and do it easily, shows us that this technique may be particularly well-suited for children with ADHD," observed co-author Dr Sarina Grosswald.
