What is one of the primary benefits of meditation?
|
Stress relief. The deep rest experienced during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique allows the body to naturally dissolve stress and strain. After learning the TM technique, it is common for meditators to feel less stressed and to notice that they are more calm in tense situations. When stress is reduced in the body during meditation, benefits such as better sleep and clearer thinking also naturally develop. Over 600 research studies have verified that daily practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique produces a wide range of positive effects on mind, body, and behaviour.
