Meditation is becoming more and more popular for managing stress, but the true experience of transcendence has far deeper effects than just relaxation. Knowledge of a simple and natural technique to effortlessly Transcend Health was sadly forgotten until recently.
The texts of the oldest tradition of knowledge describe transcendence as the supreme human experience, an experience essential to our full development.

1. A state of deep rest , much deeper than that of ordinary relaxation and even deeper than rest from sleep;
2. Feeling of peace and joy , markedly reduced production of stress hormones and increased production of happiness hormones;
3. Holistic brain development , measurable on EEGs by the coherence of brain waves.
All of these effects are behind the effectiveness of TM practice in all areas of life.
