1 TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION TECHNIQUE An evidence-based approach to mind-body balance Maharishi Ayurveda Training Program Level 1, Module 1 Transcending From Charaka Samhita (principal text of Ayurveda): Direct contact with the least excited state of awareness (Atma) is the most powerful means of promoting health. Complete transcending (of mental activity) is the best among the sources of health and happiness. The Transcendental Meditation Technique Ayurveda Traditional Medical System of India Yogas chittavrtti-nirodhah Patanjali Yoga- Sutra, BC Yoga is the least excited state of consciousness, pure consciousness Copyright 2014, Maharishi Ayur-Veda Association of America 5.1
2 Transcendental Meditation Simple, effortless practice No concentration or contemplation Maintained in its purity through the age-old tradition of Vedic masters Scientifically validated: Over 350 published peer-reviewed research studies NIH grant support: over $25 million Scientific Research on the Transcendental Meditation Program Effortlessness of Transcending No effort is needed to shift the attention to a more charming melody; the process is automatic. There is no loss in energy between starting to listen and enjoying the music with rapt attention Since the field of eternal freedom is absolute bliss, the process of uniting the mind with it, once having begun, comes to completion without loss of energy or effort. -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Translation and Commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, II 40, Penguin Books, Baltimore, 1969 Mind-Body Effect during TM As the mind settles down, the body becomes deeply relaxed, experiencing a unique quality of profound rest ( restful alertness ).

3 Change in Oxygen Consumption Unique State of Restful Alertness Neutralizes the burden of stress and fatigue in the body Promotes orderliness and balance in mind and body Enhances ability to adopt healthy behaviors and avoid negative behaviors EEG Coherence during TM Increased EEG Phase Synchrony During TM Control, Resting Eyes Closed Transcendental Meditation Front Middle Back Raw EEG tracings during TM practice from 19 tracings from the front, middle and back of the brain over 8 seconds. Note the global alpha bursts across all brain areas during Transcendental Meditation practice. Travis et al, 2009 Compared to a baseline of sitting with eyes closed, EEG synchrony among all brain areas increased during TM, but did not increase in non-meditating controls who continued resting with eyes closed.
