Transcendental Meditation

Maharishi School was founded to integrate the Transcendental Meditation program – taught in hundreds of schools and other educational institutions worldwide – into the student’s life as the most valuable tool that will help them achieve this success. Transcendental Meditation provides them with a platform for personal fulfilment and is a simple, natural technique that is easily and systematically learned by anyone of any age, education, religion, or background. More than 700 scientific research studies performed at 250 universities in 30 countries over the past 35 years, and the personal experience of over ten million people worldwide, demonstrate that the Transcendental Meditation program greatly benefits mind, body and behaviour. This method also has the proven ability to increase the coherence of brain functioning, energy and alertness, happiness and self-confidence. Scientific findings relevant to education indicate increased coherence of brain functioning is positively correlated with many factors relevant to education, including:

• Academic achievement

• Intelligence and creativity

• Memory and learning ability

• Concentration and ability to focus

• Health

• Self-esteem and self-concept

• Moral reasoning ability, social behaviour

• Relationships between students and teachers
