Discover the evidence-based benefits of Transcendental Meditation in this talk by Dr Guy-Paul Gagné and learn why he recommends this technique.
In this presentation, Dr. Gagné explores the key differences between meditation types.
Researchers have classified meditation techniques into three categories:
- Automatic Self-Transcending – Transcendental Meditation
- Open Monitoring – Dispassionate observation (contemplation) and non-evaluative awareness of ongoing experience
- Focused Attention – Concentration, sustained focus, and voluntary control of attention and cognitive processes
Dr. Gagné will delve into the scientific basis for these meditation categories and examine how TM uniquely impacts the brain and body compared to other forms of meditation.
Dr. Gagné is a medical doctor and former Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University. He has been a prolific speaker on maternity care and the scientific research on TM, including its application in education and stress management.
