Transcendental Meditation: Technique, Benefits & Effectiveness

Transcendental meditation (TM) is a form of meditation where you mentally repeat a word or phrase until you access a state of calmness. Unlike other forms of meditation, you can’t learn TM informally. It is important to find a qualified instructor to learn the technique. Over time, TM can increase overall well-being and may be a useful component of many mental health treatment plans.
