Reducing and eliminating stress
As the mind settles profoundly during Transcendental Meditation, the body also gains a unique quality of rest. The changes that take place have been measured physiologically and biochemically and been found to directly reverse the adverse effects of stress. Long-term benefits include reduced anxiety and better health.
Everyone is aware of the negative effects of stress. It decreases performance, harms relationships, and creates physical wear and tear. In short, it curtails enjoyment of life. Furthermore it tends to build up in the system over the course of a lifetime. Even a good night's sleep or an extended holiday does not enable us to recover fully. Nowadays, stress is a fact of life - but it need not be.
There may or may not be things we can do to reorganise our lives externally in order to help to reduce stress. But whether or not this is an option, internally Transcendental Meditation actually eliminates the effects of stress, physiologically. This results, when practised regularly, in a more balanced outlook, more energy and motivation, and a deeper appreciation of things.
Some of the changes that research shows take place include:
