and your body gains deep rest.

Physiological Indicators of Deep Rest
Meta-analysis is a procedure for drawing definitive conclusions from large
bodies of research studies. A meta-analysis of all available physiological
research on the Transcendental Meditation program found that the practice
of this technique produces a state of deep rest compared to control
conditions, as measured by reduced respiration rate, reduced basal skin
conductance (increased skin resistance), and reduced plasma lactate.
Reference: American Psychologist 42: 879–881, 1987

7. Increased Physiological Calmness in Executives and Workers
A study of executives and workers in the automotive industry found
that after three months of regular practice of the Transcendental
Meditation program, employees showed increased physiological
calmness, as assessed both during rest and during task
performance, in comparison to controls from the same work sites.
Reference: Anxiety, Stress and Coping: An International Journal
6: 245–262, 1993.
The unique state of restfulness gained in
Transcendental Meditation
promotes health by reducing activation of the sympathetic nervous
system, which in turn, dilates the blood vessels and reduces stress
hormones such as adrenaline, noradrenaline and corisol.

8. How is the Transcendental Meditation
technique different from other meditation techniques?
There are many forms of meditation, with many goals. Other practices
most often involve some concentration or control of the mind and
others involve contemplation—thinking about something. These
practices keep the mind engaged in some way, for example, by
focusing on an object or on something like your breath. Others keep us
aware of thoughts, or images. These practices keep the mind active in
some way on the surface thinking level. Transcendental Mediation
allows the mind to simply, naturally and effortlessly transcend thinking
and to experience a deep state of restfully alert consciousness. The
holistic benefits that have been found to result from the practice of the
Transcendental Meditation technique are the automatic result of this
unique experience.
