What is Transcendental Meditation?
Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a technique for gaining deep rest that brings balance to the body and mind. Benefits are gained through the natural self-healing processes that are enlivened by release of stress through transcending, or practicing the technique.
History of Transcendental Meditation
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, born in India in 1917, brought Transcendental Meditation to the United States. As a young man he earned a degree in physics from Allahabad University, then studied under former Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, better known as Guru Dev, which means "divine teacher". After Guru Dev's death in 1953, Maharishi became a reclusive monk before returning to the cities to begin teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique in 1955.
In 1957 he announced plans to spread it to the world. It quietly gained popularity throughout the 60s and 70s when personalities such as Mia Farrow, The Beatles and others visited India to meet Maharishi and learn Transcendental Meditation.
