Transcendental Meditation Wellington

Activate your own inner healing power Our body has far more power to heal itself than we know. The experience of transcending creates the ideal condition to activate the body's innate healing power. Fortunately this is a lot easier than previously thought, as confirmed by 600 scientific research studies, 6 million people practicing TM worldwide. It only requires the right technique and proper training. True meditation is easy. Anyone can learn it, it’s enjoyable, natural and very effective. Most people think that meditation involves some kind of mind control, forcing the mind to be quiet through some kind of concentration (on the breath, a sound, or “being in the now”). Concentration goes against the nature of the mind, and is hardly enjoyable. TM however is extremely easy and pleasant. 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 TM works All 8 billion human beings on this planet are different, but there is one thing we all have in common: we all want to be happy. Happiness is like gravity for the mind, and the mind will be spontaneously drawn to any enjoyable experience. 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”.
