Improved results among students

E48-Academic-AchievementHigh school students that were taught the Transcendental Meditation technique and practiced twice a day as part of their school day, showed significant improvements in test results for math (p<.001) and language (English) (p<.005) after three months of practice, as compared to control students.Ref.Education 131: 556–564, 2011

Higher test scores among students

E1-Academic-Skills-1Students in secondary education that were taught Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique, within one academic year showed significant improvement on national standardised tests of basic capabilities. (reading p<.01, math p<.001)Ref.Education 107: 49–54, 1986

Improved academic results in university

E11-Impr-College-GradesUniversity students that were taught Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique showed a significant increase in average test scores (Grade Point Average) in the subsequent three academic test periods, as compared to control students. (p=.0003)Ref.Scientific Research on Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Programme: Collected Papers, Volume 1: 396–399, 1977

Correlation between length of TM practice, academic results and IQ

The length of practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique was significantly correlated to both academic results (r=.52, p<.001) and IQ (r=.59, p<.01) among students in a high school where the Transcendental Meditation technique was practiced as part of the curriculum.Ref.Abstracts of Papers of the Annual Meeting of the Mid-western Educational Research Association, 1988, p.6, Chicago

Improved Postgraduate Academic Performance

E12-Impr-PostGrad-AcadMaster degree engineering students who learned the Transcendental Meditation Programme showed improved performance on their standard examinations after six months, compared with randomly assigned control students from the same academic programme.Ref.British Journal of Educational Psychology 55: 164–166, 1985

Improved Performance by ADHD Students on Executive Function Tasks

E42-ImprovPerformADHD-v1School students with a current diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who learned the Transcendental Meditation Technique showed improved performance on tasks requiring executive function after three months, as measured by increased expressive attention, increased accuracy, greater fluency of categorization, and increased flexibility in switching categories.Ref.Current Issues in Education 10(2), 2008. [Online]

Decreased sleepiness among students

E38-Decreased-SleepinessUniversity students that were taught Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique reported significantly less sleepiness during the day after 10 weeks of TM practice, in comparison to students that were randomly assigned to a delayed start condition as control group. (p<.001) Students that were taught the Transcendental Meditation technique also showed stronger integration in brain functionality and got used to stressful stimuli faster than those in the control group.Ref.International Journal of Psychophysiology 71: 170–176, 2009

More appreciation for academic activities

E34-GreaterIntellOrientPersons that participated in an advanced, one-month course, which included the TM technique, developed a greater appreciation for reflective and academic activities in comparison to the norms.Ref.Western Psychologist 4: 104–111, 1974

Improved mathematical skills

E9-Faster-Solution-ArithmAfter only 40 days of practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, students were able to solve mathematical problems faster in comparison to randomly assigned controls, who just sat with their eyes closed twice a day.Ref.Scientific Research on the Transcendental Meditation Programme: Collected Papers, Volume 1: 385–392, 1977

Increased efficiency in learning

E43-IncrEfficiencyLearningTMSPStudents who were taught the TM-Sidhi Programme showed increased efficiency in learning after one year, as measured by a computer task involving the learning of concepts. Greater efficiency in learning means that  participants were better able to use each attempt to learn a task in order to find additional information about the solution sought.Ref.International Journal of Neuroscience 15: 151–157, 1981

Efficient learning of new concepts

E26-Improved-Concept-LngUniversity students that were taught the TM Sidhi programme improved significantly on an index of the efficiency of the learning of a concept in comparison to a matched control group of students of the same university.Ref.International Journal of Neuroscience 15: 151–157, 1981

Increased Creativity in Secondary School Students

E3-Increased-CreativitySecondary school students who learned the Transcendental Meditation Programme showed increased creativity after 14 weeks, in contrast to control students. (p <.001)Ref.Dissertation Abstracts International 38 (7): 3372B-3373B, 1978

สื่อได้พูดอะไรเกี่ยวกับTM

ผู้คนพูดอะไรกันไว้

ฉันเคยฝึกสมาธิมามากมายหลายแบบ แต่มีบางอย่างที่ฉันรู้สึกเสมอว่ามันไม่ถูกต้อง มันขาดบางอย่างไป ฉันรู้สึกไม่พึงพอใจ แต่เมื่อฉันฝึกTM มันเหมือนกับว่าฉันได้กลับมายังบ้านของฉัน และในที่สุดฉันก็ได้พบกับสิ่งฉันเฝ้าที่มองหา

นีนา


เทคนิคนี้ความจริงก็คือวิธีหนึ่ง

ผมฝึกTM มาจนถึงปัจจุบันก็นานถึง30ปี และสุขภาพโดยทั่วไปของผมก็ดีเยี่ยม เมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับคนรุ่นเดียวกับผม ไม่เพียงแต่มันทำให้ความสร้างสรรค์ของผมเติบโตอย่างน่าทึ่งแล้ว แต่ยังทำให้ความสามารถของผมที่ต้องทำงานร่วมกับทีมพนักงานของผม และผู้แสดง ในแนวทางที่ดลใจและเร้าใจ

ผมยังรู้สึกประหลาดใจกับพื้นฐานในแต่ละวัน ที่เห็นถึงความง่าย และความเป็นธรรมชาติของเทคนิคที่สามารถทำให้เกิดผลประโยชน์ในทางบวกมากมาย และมันยังเป็นเรื่องดีที่จะปฏิบัติเทคนิคนี้
