Is exercise or sport just as good as Transcendental Meditation?
No. Although sports and exercise can be enjoyable and produce some obvious benefits, they differ from Transcendental Meditation in that they are unable to get rid of really deep-rooted stresses. For this, very deep rest is necessary. This is where Transcendental Meditation is unique. Research has shown that it allows the mind and body to experience the deepest level of rest possible.
