The Transcendental Meditation® program for Women develops the full potential of a woman's life, including family and career, by maximizing focus, clarity, endurance, and physical health through effortless practice of the TM® technique
The TM technique is a natural and effortless technique practiced for twenty minutes twice daily
while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. During the meditation practice, the mind settles down to quieter levels of thought and rests in the silent reservoir of intelligence, energy and creativity. The body correspondingly settles down to a state of deep rest. This experience of inner wakefulness and deep rest is the basis of great dynamism and achsievement in life. The TM practice is unique among meditation techniques distinguished by its simplicity and profound, immediate results. It is not a religion or philosophy and involves no change in lifestyle. It is easy to learn and enjoyable to practice, requiring no effort, concentration or special skills. The Transcendental Meditation program is by far the most extensively researched program for self-development. Scientists at over 210 independent research institutions including Harvard, Yale and UCLA Medical School have conducted research on the TM program finding practical benefits that are significant to all fields of life: improved mental capacity, health, career success, relationships and inner peace. Over 300 of these studies have been published in leading peer reviewed scientific journals. (Go to http://www.mum.edu/tm_research/bibliography.html)
Benefits to the mind
Daily practice of the TM technique awakens the brain’s latent resources. Research shows the TM practice uniquely enlivens the function of the prefrontal cortex, often called the “CEO” of the brain, allowing for more organized thought and better decision making. The brain functions with greater coherence which is associated with more integrated and effective thinking and behavior. Other benefits include improvement in analytical thinking, creativity, learning ability, IQ, memory and efficient brain functioning. Benefits to the body
The deep rest experienced during Transcendental Meditation reduces fatigue and stress hormones leading to a wide variety of health benefits, including normalized blood pressure, reduced atherosclerosis, decreased insomnia, fewer tumors, greater resiliency and overall longevity. Reversing the effects of aging
At least 35 symptoms of aging are reversed with regular TM practice. Among them are high blood pressure, high serum cholesterol concentration, behavioral rigidity, depression, impaired memory, reduced visual and auditory acuity. Vitality improves, along with cognitive ability and recovery time from stress. Career
Women who practice the Transcendental Meditation program report improved job performance and job satisfaction, as corroborated by scientific findings. Decreased stress and anxiety lead to improved perception and memory, increased creativity and more comprehensive thinking. Women also report an increased ability to maintain a sharp focus throughout the day. This opens the way to more successful decision making and improved problem solving. All these benefits give women a competitive edge. Family and relationships
During the TM practice, a decrease in stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol leads to reduced fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression in life. TM research has shown an increase in tolerance, a greater capacity for intimacy and appreciation, higher moral reasoning and increased happiness. After a long day of work, women find that twenty minutes of this meditation revitalizes their inner lives, forming a foundation for more harmonious relationships.
