AUCKLAND Linda Sinden & Wayne Perkins What is Transcendental Meditation? Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a widely practiced (6 million people have learned globally and 50,000 in New Zealand), most widely researched (600 studies), and, according to the research, the most effective meditation technique in the world. For example the American Heart Association wrote a formal statement in 2013 saying that Transcendental Meditation has been shown to be the only meditation technique that can help to reduce blood pressure and is the only technique that is recommended for doctors to prescribe. How did Maharishi discover TM? The generally accepted wisdom about meditation was that it was a way for the mind to come to inner silence, and that this was achieved by forcing the mind to rest, usually through a form of concentration on a word, a sound, or a visual point, or through visualisation techniques. The mind soon gets bored with this and will want to go somewhere else, but we will tell it: “no, stay here, stay focused”. At some point the mind will grow so tired from all the effort from that concentration, that it will check out. At that point one may (possibly) find deeper experiences, although usually the mind is so tired that the experiences will hardly ever be very clear.
