Increased Job Satisfaction

Meditators find a greater joy in every aspect of life, including their home life, their social relationships, and their professional activities.

Decreased Stress and Anxiety

During the practice of Transcendental Meditation one experiences a deep and profound state of rest, which releases deeply rooted stresses in the nervous system, enabling the physiology to be more resiliant in stressful situations.

Decreased Cigarette and Alcohol Use

The practice of Transcendental Meditation enables an individual to act spontaneously more in accord with Natural Law, and therefore one becomes more able to spontaneously adopt those behaviours that are useful to life and reject those that are not. As a result, meditators find an increased and spontaneous tendency to avoid cigarrettes and alcohol as well as other practices that are damaging to life.

Decreased Crime

In cities where one per cent of the population practises Transcendental Meditation, the crime rate spontaneously falls. This effect, known as the Maharishi Effect, is due to the more harmonious, more life-supporting environment created by meditators.
