TM (Transcendental Meditation)
Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a meditation technique that involves sitting quietly with eyes closed and silently repeating a specific word or phrase (mantra) for about 20 minutes twice daily. Developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, it aims to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity by allowing the mind to settle into a state of restful alertness. TM is practiced without concentration or effort, fostering a natural state of calmness. Research suggests it can enhance overall well-being, lowering blood pressure, and reducing anxiety, making it a practical tool for improving quality of life.
