The Transcendental Meditation Technique

The key technology of the Maharishi Corporate Development Program is the Transcendental Meditation (TM)® technique of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi -- a simple, natural, effortless procedure practiced for 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. During this technique, the individual's awareness settles down and experiences a unique state of restful alertness.

As the body becomes deeply  rested and relaxed, the mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form of awareness, Transcendental Consciousness, or pure consciousness, the mind's full creative potential. Leading quantum physicists have identified Transcendental Consciousness as the Unified Field of Natural Law, the "home" of all the Laws of Nature that govern the orderly evolution of the universe.

Benefits for all areas of one's life

The experience of Transcendental Consciousness develops one's latent creative potential while dissolving accumulated stress and fatigue through the deep rest gained during the practice. This experience is profoundly refreshing and revitalizing to both mind and body and enlivens within the individual's awareness increased creativity, dynamism, orderliness, and organizing power. Through the resulting development of mind and improvement in health, the individual enjoys increasing success and satisfaction in life.

Scientific procedure, easily learned

The Transcendental Meditation technique is scientific, requiring neither specific beliefs nor adoption of a specific lifestyle. The practice does not involve any effort or concentration. It is easy to learn and does not require any special ability. During the past 40 years more than five million people have learned the technique, and it has been implemented in hundreds of companies worldwide.

People of all ages, educational backgrounds, cultures, and religions in countries throughout the world practice the technique and enjoy its wide range of benefits. These benefits have been documented in more than 600 scientific research studies, conducted at 210 universities and research institutes in 33 countries.

Consciousness is the Most Fundamantal Resource of Every Business

The Maharishi Corporate Development Program offers a uniquely effective approach to developing the most fundamental resource of every business -- human consciousness. Consciousness is at the basis of the alertness, creativity, organizing power, efficiency, health, and happiness of every executive and employee. Thus it is the consciousness of its employees that ultimately determines the performance and success of the company as a whole.

Scientifically Proven Technology to Develop Human Consciousness

The Maharishi Corporate Development Program provides a scientifically proven technology -- the Transcendental Meditation technique -- to develop the full creative potential of human consciousness. The Transcendental Meditation technique enlivens in mind and body the deepest level of intelligence -- Transcendental Consciousness, or pure consciousness -- which is the total potential of Natural Law. Through daily practice of this technique, the individual gains the ability to think and act from this level, thereby spontaneously gaining the support of the infinite creativity and organizing power of Natural Law for maximum success and achievement in daily life.

Bringing Problem-Free Administration and Good Fortune to the Company

Employing the skilled hand of nature in this way brings smooth, problem-free administration and good fortune to the company. While achieving its economic goals, the company promotes the health and well-being of its employees and enriches the quality of life in society. This is Natural Law Based Management.

Reports from Executives

Burton A. Dole, Jr., Former Chairman and CEO, Puritan-Bennett Corp. Leading manufacturer of respiratory products: "The key to success in today's world is innovation, creativity -- beyond anything else. If you create products and services that are clearly better than what your competitors produce, you're going to succeed in today's world. Having the ability to enhance one's own creativity as well as that of one's employees seems to me to be the ultimate responsibility of a manager within a company. And the Transcendental Meditation program allows that creativity enhancement to take place beyond anything I've ever seen."

Steve Rubin, Chairman and CEO, United Fuels International, Inc. International energy brokerage firm: "For me the experience of settled inner wakefulness and expanded awareness during the Transcendental Meditation technique is the real foundation for successful decision making. After meditating I have the mental clarity and alertness for laser-like focus on the details and, at the same time, for broad comprehension so I don't get lost in the details. I find myself continuously growing in insight and intuition, as well as in the ability to focus and analyze. Over my years in business, the TM technique has been a real competitive advantage."

Hari Sharma, M.D., FRCPC, Professor Emeritus, Former Director of Cancer Prevention and Natural Products Research, Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine: "In many published research studies, the Transcendental Meditation technique has been shown to be the most effective technique for reducing stress and rebalancing the biochemicals in the body to produce improved physical and mental health. This has been corroborated by research showing that practice of the TM technique reduces health care utilization by 50%. Because of the benefits of the TM program for prevention of disease, I recommend that it be covered by all health care providers. In that way we can prevent forthcoming disorders that are extremely costly -- not only financially, but also in terms of human pain and suffering."

Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D., General practice, Washington, D.C. on Benefits for Employees: "My patients notice that their health complaints are exacerbated by stress incurred at work and at home. I tell them that the TM technique is the most effective, scientifically validated procedure to reduce stress and promote health. Of all the things they can do for their health, this has the most far-reaching, wide range of benefits. Hundreds of my patients have learned the technique -- with excellent results. Every company should provide the TM program to their employees to reduce stress, help prevent disease, and promote good health."

Tom Gould, Chairman and CEO, Younkers, Inc., A chain of 53 fashion department stores throughout the Midwest, on Benefits for Executives: "My practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique has given me a 360-degree awareness. In business, I have always been very fixed and focused on my goals. Now, with the expanded awareness gained from the Transcendental Meditation program, I am able to be more open and flexible in my approaches to achieving these goals. In my personal life, I feel that I am a far more integrated, fulfilled human being."

Ronald David, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Washington, D.C. General Hospital, Former Lecturer in Public Policy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, on Benefits for the Nation: "An impressive body of scientific research indicates that practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique by a small proportion of a population reduces stress and creates a positive influence in the entire population. This means that employees in a company practicing this stress-reduction modality will not only benefit the company, but should have far-reaching benefits for the larger society as well."

R. W. Montgomery, Jr., former CEO, H.A. Montgomery Co. on Benefits for the Company: "Over a six-year period, the Transcendental Meditation program was introduced to over 70% of our managers and employees, and they were encouraged to meditate on company time at the plant. As a result, productivity, sales, and profitability all improved dramatically, the creativity of our research department went up, and absenteeism dropped sharply, as did sick days and injuries. The TM program paid for itself in two months on the basis of reduced absenteeism alone. The TM program has been my best business decision."

R.W. "Buck" Montgomery was looking to turn around his Detroit-based chemical manufacturing firm, the 40-year old H.A. Montgomery Company. Buck explored different stress managment and employee development programs. After much research he introduced the Transcendental Meditation program throughout the company. The impact was immediate. Productivity improved substantially. Absenteeism dropped sharply as did sick days, and drug and alcohol abuse. Sales per employee climbed 120% in two years and profitability soared 520%.
