Does the TM program involve adopting a new lifestyle?
No, TM does not require a change in lifestyle, nor is it a philosophy or a religion. Over six million people of all ages, nationalities, and religions—and 50,000 people in the Washington area, including medical doctors, business and government leaders, lawyers, teachers, and students—have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique during the past 50 years. TM practitioners report that the reduced stress and increased clarity of mind has helped them to appreciate life more fully—and, for religious people, to follow their religions more faithfully.
