Benefits of Transcendental Meditation

So what are the benefits of Transcendental Meditation? What are the reasons that so many people are turning to TM to deal with anxiety and stress, and why are so many people practicing Transcendental Meditation across the world?

• In addition to slowing down the heart rate, Transcendental Meditation also calms the body and relaxes the mind.

• During Transcendental Meditation, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production can be reduced by up to 20% below normal levels within a few minutes.

• Raises skin resistance to pain: The TM Technique helps to increase the body's resistance to pain and electrical currents, which decreases during stressful or anxious times. In other words, if you get knocked or hurt yourself, you won't feel or react to it as much.

• Increases muscle relaxation

• Reduction of activity in the nervous system: When you meditate, you activate the part of the nervous system that is responsible for relaxing and calming you (the parasympathetic branch).

• Production of lactate is decreased: While meditating, the liver produces four times less lactate after being starved of oxygen and undergoing stress as compared to when not meditating. When lactate builds up in the body, it can lead to fatigue in the short term and impair energy production in the long term.

• When you meditate, your blood circulation increases, so that more oxygen can reach your muscles - this prevents lactate production.

• Significant effect on the brain: During Transcendental Meditation, the brain produces alpha and theta brainwaves. Your brain spends most of the day in beta waves, which are essential for everyday activities but can be draining if you spend too much time in them. It can help you improve your memory, improve your concentration, relax, and improve your energy and happiness when you attain alpha and theta brain waves regularly.

Research has shown that most children are regularly in theta and alpha brain waves (ever wondered why your children had so much energy!). Children move from alpha waves to beta waves as they grow older. And although this is important to get things done it is also important, not imperative, to keep your energy up and achieve the other benefits of meditation, to access these alpha and theta brainwaves.

• Transcendental Meditation balances both parts of the brain: Research shows that meditation balances the logical and creative sides of the brain. Individuals who balance out their brains will be more balanced and happy.

• Transcendental Meditation helps to combat depression: Migraines and anxiety can be relieved with regular Meditation (once or twice a day for 20 minutes), as well as depression and hypertension 

• TM improves concentration: Furthermore, studies have shown that regular meditation improves attention, memory, and creativity. You can enhance the brain's ability to process information by meditating during exam preparation.

• Meditate for better sleep: It is beneficial to meditate regularly in order to sleep better and sleep quality. As a result, you will get better sleep and become less prone to waking up during the night, you will be able to fall asleep more easily if you wake up because your mind will be still.
•  By TM Technique, you will be able to sleep more deeply and won't be as prone to waking during the night.
•  Meditate before sleep to wake up feeling refreshed
