Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a non-religious, non-philosophical meditation technique that has gained recognition worldwide due to its profound impact on mental health and overall wellbeing. Developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 1950s, it has since been the subject of numerous scientific studies exploring its numerous benefits.

Unlike other meditation techniques that might require concentration, contemplation, or visualization, Transcendental Meditation is unique. It emphasizes natural, effortless transitions to a state of restful alertness or transcendental consciousness. The cornerstone of this technique is the use of a personalized mantra, a meaningless sound assigned by a trained TM teacher, which one silently repeats to help the mind settle down.
