What do kids themselves say about meditation? Here’s a round-up of kids talking about their experience of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique.

“Since I started TM, life has gotten a lot easier. I think more clearly and I don’t rush into things. Plus, my grades have gone up.”
Cecilia, grade 7, USA

“It helps relax you so you’re more calm and gets your mind ready for any activity.”
Jaiquan, grade 9, Connecticut, USA

“I enjoy meditating because I get disturbing thoughts washed away. When I come out of meditation, the problem is gone. It’s a natural process, it’s not hard, it’s very easy, and anyone can do it if they just learn and try.”
India, grade 10, Connecticut, USA

“I looked at my transcript and freshman, sophomore and junior year, it had all Cs and Ds all across it. Now I’m getting As and Bs and I’m really proud of myself. The only thing that has changed is that I started TM. I saw that as the reason it happened because it’s helped me concentrate much better.”
Kyle, grade 12, USA

“I was bullied and even attacked at my old school. I would have flashbacks and trouble sleeping, and I couldn’t focus on my classes. After TM, I instantly felt whole and happier. I think it brought out the good in me. I’ve had straight A’s all year.”
Kezia, grade 12, Los Angeles, California, USA

“Meditation has given me this feeling of tranquility that I hardly experienced before. It has helped me become calmer and find mental and emotional stability. I think I’ve become much more responsible and mature. I see changes in myself and the way I interact with people. I feel more at peace, more blissful. I think kids who meditate have an experience of easiness that puts us in a better mood and makes it easier to be ourselves."
Daniella, grade 12, Mexico

“TM helps me feel better inside because I am more rested. It opened up my heart. It’s like TM cleans the dust off the window, and then I see the world as beautiful, and I see people as friendly and nice.”
Queena, grade 12, Shanghai, China
