Transcendental

Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a form of silent mantra meditation in which you sit with your eyes closed and silently repeat a sound for 15 to 20 minutes. It is usually practised twice a day and taught by certified teachers through a set course. It was introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India in the 1950s. Studies for stress, anxiety and low mood are mixed and mostly low quality, so the evidence is limited: see “Transcendental Meditation: what the research says”.
