Transendental meditation. The Transendental Meditation program of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the single most effective technique available for gaining deep relaxation, eliminating stress, promoting health, increasing creativity and intelligence, and attaining inner happiness and fulfilment.

The TM program, practiced by 6 million people world-wide, is a simple, natural, effortless technique. Its effectiveness, according to the TM Organization, has been validated by over 600 scientific studies at more than 200 independent research institutions in 30 countries (we at Scientia believe that only 50 of those studies are really valid). The TM technique requires no belief or lifestyle change, is non-religious, is not time-consuming, and can be learned by anyone regardless of age or level of education.

We invite you to explore this website and find out how the Transendental Meditation programme can improve all aspects of your life in a way you never dreamed possible.

  • The Transendental meditation has been taught by Maharishi since 1958. The first articles about the beneficial effects of this technique were published around 1970 on important magazines and scientific journals such as Science (167, 1970), American Journal of Physiology (221, 1971) and Scientific American (226, 1972). The basic research was conducted by two medical doctors from Harvard University, Herbert Benson and Robert Wallace. This research was made on dozens of American people who used to practice this technique regularly. These people were of any race, sex, age, job, and with different personal political or religious belief.

  • Around 1995, Dr. Deepak Chopra created the primordial sound technique, that is very similar to Transendental meditation and can be considered as much as effective. Unfortunately TM and Chopra's technique are very expensive: the price of TM is prohibitive ($2500.00). Chopra's technique is expensive also (starting at $325).

  • The Natural Stress Relief technique, that can be learned in this website for $25.00 only, is very similar to the original TM taught by Maharishi in 1958, with a single basic syllable or "mantra" suitable for anybody (around 1970 Maharishi started to prescribe different "mantras", but this did not change the effects of TM at all). The Natural Stress Relief technique preserves the full effectiveness of Maharishi's TM and is 3 to 4 times more effective than Benson’s relaxation response and other techniques, including autogenic training, self-hypnosis, audio brainwave techniques, meditation techniques.
