"Meditasjon hjelper kreativiteten... det er som om TM hjelper kreativt på et nivå jeg ikke kan beskrive... men tapper inn i noe så dypt at når jeg høster belønningene vet jeg ikke engang at jeg høster dem."

kreativitet på en uanstrengt måte
En stor undersøkelse ved American University fant at TM skaper alfa bølger i hjernen. Mayo Clinic i USA beskriver alfa bølger som en tilstand hvor man er "avslappet, glad og fokusert".
Det er derfor folk som lærer TM sier at de er mer fokuserte, kreative og effektive enn tidligere. Mange har prøvd andre teknikker før de lærer TM. Bildet under viser hovedforskjellene mellom TM og andre teknikker.
Vitenskapen har dokumentert det utrolige utbyttet som TM gir for sinnet
Utbytte for hjernen: -
- Klarere tenkning
- Bedre hukommelse
- Bedre læreevne
- Mer kreativitet
- Mer effektivitet
Vitenskapelig dokumentasjon av TM sin effekt på hjernen
