“Great amount of scientific research is there to show that health is better because transcendental meditation deals with consciousness, and consciousness is the basic value of all the physical expressions. The entire creation is the expression of consciousness.” - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Courtenay: “Meditation eases PTSD in Veterans suffering from flashbacks, nightmares and insomnia,” and “nearly two-thirds of ex-soldiers battling PTSD saw their symptoms improve after just three months of transcendental meditation (TM)”.
“Researchers from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Washington, DC, randomly assigned 203 ex-soldiers to receive either TM, PE or PTSD health education”, and “61 percent of those receiving TM had at least a 10-point improvement to their PTSD severity score after three months. This was compared to 42 percent who underwent PE and 32 percent who received health education.”
