Transcendental Meditation

Scientific Research:

Increased Strength of Self-Concept

Improved Health and More Positive Health Habits

One month after beginning Transcendental Meditation, subjects experienced an improved self-concept in comparison to before learning the technique. Transcendental Meditation participants developed a more strongly defined self-concept and also came to perceive their "actual self" as significantly closer to their "ideal self." No similar changes were observed for matched controls.
