Maharishi, a renowned scientist of consciousness, revived the ancient meditative practices from the Yoga tradition of India. He brought meditation out of its traditional shroud of mysticism and into the light of science—making it easy for anyone to learn, and opening it to the scrutiny of modern medical research.
Maharishi helped to establish that the meditative state (pure consciousness, transcending) constitutes a 4th state of human consciousness, distinct from waking, sleeping and dreaming [Science (1970), Brain and Cognition (2018)]. Research has shown that adding a few minutes of transcending each day with TM has profound benefits for health and brain function.
