More health benefits

  • Reduced insomnia

    Research has found that serotonin increases as a result of long-term TM practice. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and the sleep-wake cycle.

  • Improved heart health

    A study showed a 48% reduction in heart attacks and strokes among at-risk practitioners of the TM technique.

  • Lower cholesterol

    In a study published in the Journal of Human Stress, people with high cholesterol who practiced the TM technique showed a significant reduction in cholesterol levels, compared to a control group.

The TM technique is a simple, twice-daily meditation practice that effortlessly improves your health.
