The heartbeat of a healthy life awaits
Experience the profound healing and transformation unlocked by Transcendental Meditation, rooted in decades of peer-reviewed research. From lowering blood pressure to improving cardiovascular health, Transcendental Meditation paves a pathway to a long and healthy life.
Transforming your
response to stress.
Stress doesn’t just weigh on your mind, it challenges your heart. Stress-induced hormones, including epinephrine and norepinephrine, raise your heart rate, constrict arteries, and elevate blood pressure. Transcendental Meditation reshapes your body's response to stress, leading to profound heart health benefits.
Effectively lowering
blood pressure
A comprehensive meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in Transcendental Meditation practitioners — a result rarely seen in other relaxation treatments.
The American Heart Association’s journal, Hypertension, highlighted Transcendental Meditation as the only meditation technique proven to reduce high blood pressure.
Slowing heart
disease’s advance
With reduced stress comes a rejuvenated heart. In one study, researchers discovered that patients who learned Transcendental Meditation experienced atherosclerosis reduction in carotid arteries. This suggests a potential reversal in cardiovascular disease in the coronary and cerebral arteries, which feed the heart and brain, respectively.
A physician’s endorsement
In his New York Times best-selling book, Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., illuminates six essential ways Transcendental Meditation helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke:
Reducing high-blood pressure
Reducing atherosclerosis
in the carotid arteries
Reducing the size
in left ventricle mass
Reducing cholesterol
Improved insulin sensitivity,
which means insulin does a better
job of pushing glucose into cells
Contributes to greater
heart rate variability.
The economics of wellness
Harness the potential for healthcare savings. A study measuring medical expense data from about 2,800 people in Quebec’s provincial health insurance plan revealed a progressive decline in monthly payments for the group that learned Transcendental Meditation compared to the control group. After six years, the payments for the TM group were a staggering 55 percent lower than the control.
Four major research findings show TM improves heart health
Lower high blood pressure naturally
In its journal, Hypertension, the American Heart Association reported that the Transcendental Meditation technique is the only meditation practice shown to lower high blood pressure.
Major reduction in heart attack & stroke
A five-year study on patients with coronary heart disease reported a 48% reduction in heart attack, stroke, and death among those practicing Transcendental Meditation compared to other controls.
Decrease in high cholesterol
A study published in the Journal of Human Stress found that people with high cholesterol who practice the TM technique had a major reduction in cholesterol levels compared to a control group.
Reduction in atherosclerosis
Another study found that those who learned TM showed reduced thickening of the carotid artery wall. In contrast, the control group who received health education on diet and exercise had continued thickening of this artery wall.
