Consciousness-Based Education
Complete Knowledge
Consciousness-Based Education recognises that the education process has a three-fold structure:
• Knower, the student
• Known, the curriculum that the student studies
• Process of knowing, which connects the knower with the known
All three aspects of education must be fully developed in order for knowledge to be complete, and for life to be lived in completeness.
Consciousness-Based Education makes use of the natural and effortless Transcendental Meditation program for developing students’ full inner potential. More than 700 scientific research studies conducted at over 250 universities and research institutes in 30 countries verify the wide-ranging benefits of this technique for individual life and society.
By developing increasing use of the total brain, the Transcendental Meditation program strengthens the cognitive, physiological, and affective foundations of learning, while promoting more healthy life-style choices and positive behaviour. At the same time, regular practice of this technique significantly reduces the stress and tension that many students and teachers experience daily, and creates a happy, harmonious, focused learning environment.
The Transcendental Meditation program is not a religion or religious practice, and involves no change in lifestyle or belief. More than five million people around the world, of all cultures and backgrounds, have learned the practice.
