Heart health Some say that TM can help reduce blood pressure, which may be comparable to other lifestyle changes like exercise or diet. Sleep Some say that TM can help with insomnia, and that health care workers who practiced TM twice a day for three months experienced less burnout and anxiety. Mental well-being Some say that TM can help with creativity, intelligence, and awareness, and can improve clarity of thoughts and feelings. Other issues Some say that TM can help with addiction treatment, attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and Alzheimer's. However, some say that TM may be less accessible because it requires a teacher to receive a mantra. It's also possible to experience negative emotions and sensations while practicing TM.

To perform Transcendental Meditation (TM), you can follow these steps: Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor with your hands on your lap. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body. Silently repeat a mantra in your mind. You can use a Sanskrit sound or a word or phrase of your choice. Focus on the mantra's sound, not its meaning. If you get distracted, refocus your thoughts on the mantra. After the session, open your eyes and sit for a few more minutes before getting up. You can practice TM twice a day for 15–20 minutes. The goal is to achieve a restful state of mind. TM is a simple and effortless practice that doesn't require any special yoga positions or an app to guide you. It's a skill that requires practice, and it's normal to feel antsy or bored at first.
