A new section of the website for the Transcendental Meditation organization in the United Kingdom presents the benefits and value of the technique for children and teenagers.
The website comments that every child faces stressful situations from time to time—fears, conflicts, anger, frustration, anxiety and depression. It’s all part of growing up. No matter what age, our children look to us, as parents, for guidance and advice. Yet, we don’t always have the answers. What we can be certain of though, is that we want the best for our children.
The Transcendental Meditation Technique has been shown to reduce stress for improved health, and to increase intelligence, and happiness. It also lessens anxiety and depression, resulting in more positive thinking.
Transcendental Meditation for children is a simple and natural technique that increases happiness, self-esteem, calmness and creativity. It also provides children and teenagers with a means to cope with stress, anxiety and depression. Children say they feel more settled and find it is easier to focus in school.
Parents say it helps their children to better understand themselves, as a result of which they are able to deal with their emotions and get along more harmoniously with their family, friends, siblings, and teachers.
Setting aside some time each day to experience deep relaxation is vital for every youngster's well-being of mind and body. Not only does Transcendental Meditation help improve their overall development as they grow, it gives them the capability to manage stress and stressful situations, which in the long term will keep them physically healthy and prepare them for adult life.
Transcendental Meditation is a natural process that allows the mind and body to settle down to experience a unique state of deep rest—different from sleep, drowsiness, or ordinary relaxation—in which the body is deeply rested and the mind is fully alert. Extensive scientific research has shown that this special type of rest reduces the effects of stress and prevents stress from accumulating over time.
Regular practice of Transcendental Meditation provides help for children of all ages:
* more happiness (decreases depression)
* less stress
* calmer emotions and sense of being more in control
* more patience in dealings with others
* less anxious when revising and taking exams
* enhanced creativity and imagination
* improved brain functioning
* improved memory, better concentration and greater ability to learn
* greater maturity, self-esteem and self-confidence
* improved sleep
* improved health and well-being
* improved mind-body coordination
* less tendency towards smoking, alcohol consumption and drug abuse.
‘Transcendental Meditation is the best natural approach to reverse the effects of stress. Stress is a major contributor to many illness and suffering. I have witnessed the healing effects of TM on thousands of my patients and would recommend it to everyone.’
