Transcendental Meditation (TM) is explained by scientists:
Dr John Hagelin and Dr Norman Rosenthal

Hagelin: Meditation, properly understood and properly practiced, is a systematic means to turn the attention powerfully within, to experience and explore deeper levels of mind, quieter levels of human awareness, until the mind is completely settled in the simplest state of human awareness.

Rosenthal: Through Transcendental Meditation one can slip into a zone, if you like, in which you are thoroughly alert, profoundly relaxed, very joyful in spirit, but unfocused on anything in particular. It’s not a thing that you’re happy about, and yet you’re joyful. There’s not a thing that you’re thinking about specifically, and yet you’re alert. You’re not asleep, but you’re profoundly relaxed. It’s a really curious state that is a thing in itself. One thing about Transcendental Meditation, and you hear this from many people who have tried a bunch of different techniques to get to this state, is it’s one of the simplest, most practical and effortless ways of accessing the transcendent.

Hagelin: In this meditative state, the body gains a deep state of rest, deeper than sleep, and deep-seated stress is dissolved, providing an effective prevention and treatment for stress-related illness, removing the deleterious effects of stress on health and brain functioning. It’s a systematic technique to develop the full potential of mind and body.

*Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is now practiced by millions of people worldwide from all backgrounds and from all walks of life. TM is one of the most simple, natural and effective meditation techniques in the world today. Learn more at http://www.tm.org
