Every student needs a clear mind to succeed in studying. Creativity, the ability to focus sharply, memory and learning ability all increase when the mind is calm and alert.
Transcendental Meditation has been learnt by students all over the world because it is uniquely effective in developing these inner resources so essential to successful study. Transcendental Meditation helps students develop their mental potential. Studies show that Transcendental Meditation increases intelligence and creativity.
With TM, students tend to worry less about exams, yet perform better.
Some of the mental benefits of practising Transcendental Meditation are:
Improved mental performance
Clearer thinking
Increased intelligence
Improved creativity
Improved problem solving
Improved memory
Improved learning ability
Broader comprehension
Improved decision making
In fact, practising TM is a bit like taking a 'mental bath'. It allows all the stresses of the day to be released in a natural way, allowing the mind to function more efficiently.
Electrical signals of left and right hemispheres increase in coherence and power. An increase in slow alpha frequency power in the frontal cortex indicates a relaxed state of awareness.
College students instructed in Transcendental Meditation displayed significant improvements in performance over a 2-week period on a perceptual and short-term memory test involving the identification of familiar letter sequences presented rapidly. They were compared with subjects randomly assigned to a routine of twice-daily rest with eyes closed, and with subjects who made no change in their daily routine.
