Transcendental Meditation: Making Space for Calm in a Busy World

By Aditi Srivastava

  • In today’s fast-paced world, busyness is often seen as a symbol of success
    and productivity. Professionals, students, homemakers, and leaders face
    constant demands, multitasking across responsibilities, creating ongoing stress
    rather than occasional pressure.
  • Chronic stress contributes to poor sleep, lifestyle disorders, emotional fatigue,
    reduced clarity, weakened immunity, and strained personal and professional
    relationships. The real need is sustainable inner stability — not temporary
    relaxation or short-lived escape

  • Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple, research-based, and
    completely secular technique practiced for 20 minutes twice daily while sitting
    comfortably with eyes closed.

  • Introduced globally by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, TM does not involve
    concentration, breath control, visualization, or belief systems. It allows the mind
    to settle inward effortlessly and experience “restful alertness.”
  • During practice, the body gains deep rest while the mind remains awake and
    settled. Research has shown reduced stress markers, balanced brain functioning,
    and profound physiological rest distinct from ordinary relaxation.

This deep rest helps release accumulated stress from the nervous system, supporting:

  • Better and deeper sleep
  • Improved emotional balance
  • Stronger immunity
  • Clearer thinking and sharper focus

Practitioners commonly report in daily life:

  • Greater calm and composure
  • Improved decision-making
  • Better relationships
  • Enhanced creativity and problem-solving
  • Increased energy and resilience

Expert Insight

“Transcendental Meditation allows the brain to function in a more integrated
and coherent way,” says Fred Travis. Research shows TM produces brainwave
coherence linked to restful alertness, experienced quickly because it follows the
mind’s natural tendency to settle inward.
