More mental health
benefits

  • Lower cortisol

    TM practice can reduce stress, as indicated in a research study which found that plasma cortisol decreased by 30%. Lower cortisol is associated with a strong immune system, feeling more energetic, and many other benefits.

  • Improved attention for people with ADHD

    In a 2011 pilot study, students diagnosed with ADHD showed improved ability to focus, organizational skills, and capacity for independent work after 3-6 months of TM practice.

  • Reduced PTSD symptoms

    50% of veterans participating in a 2022 study no longer met the criteria for having PTSD after practicing the TM technique for 3 months, compared with just 10% of the control group receiving standard therapies.

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