What is TM?
TM’s foundations date back to ancient India. The relaxation technique has been taught worldwide since 1957, according to Paul-Labrador’s study. The web site of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), calls TM “a type of meditation that uses a mantra (a word, sound, or phrase repeated silently) to prevent distracting thoughts from entering the mind.” “The intent of TM might be described as allowing the mind to settle into a quieter state and the body into a state of deep rest. This is seen as ultimately leading to a state of relaxed alertness,” states the NCCAM.
