Nowadays, in cities like Brisbane and the Gold Coast, stress is a fact of life. Furthermore it tends to build up in the system over the course of a lifetime. Even a good night's sleep or an extended holiday may not enable us to recover fully. As stress accumulates, anxiety and depression are commonly experienced.
As the mind settles down in Transcendental Meditation, the body also gains deep rest. The changes that take place have been measured in physiological tests and are found to directly reverse the adverse effects of stress.
Regular practice of Transcendental Meditation actually eliminates stress physiologically. As a result we feel less worried and anxious, we are happier, we have a more balanced outlook and are able to appreciate and enjoy life more.
In addition to reducing stress, those who have learned TM at our Brisbane centre report the ability to deal with challenging situations more effectively - without being so stressed. With TM coping skills are enhanced, our response to stressful events is less exaggerated and we recover much quicker. In this way we become more resilient, more immune to stress.
