2. Weight loss and TM, by Dr. Chaudhary

weight-loss When asked how TM can help to lose weight, Dr. Sandeep Chaudhary, Medical Director of Wellspring Endocrinology at Scripps Memorial Hospital comments: “Many people have problems controlling hunger and appetite, and science explains that there are hormonal reasons for this. The secretion of many of these hormones is directly affected by stress. Under stress one loses the natural intuition of knowing what the body does need and does not need. The Transcendental Meditation technique allows people to develop a state of mental and physical balance, where one naturally begins craving the foods that the body needs.”

3. Natural reduction in cholesterol and TM

This scientific research study (Journal of Human Stress 5: 24-27, 1979) concluded that people with high cholesterol practising Transcendental Meditation showed a significant reduction in cholesterol levels when compared to a control group who received education around the need to change their eating habits and lifestyle.

Christophe Sempels, a TM practitioner from Belgium, comments: “I started with TM to help control my stress, and not at all with the intention to reduce my cholesterol. However, after one-and-a-half months of TM practice my LDL cholesterol had spontaneously reduced from 175 to 159, and overall from 230 to 214. My doctor was so impressed that he asked if I had made any changes to my eating habits, or had started working out, but that was not the case, it was all TM.”
