recent research articles on effects of transcendental meditation
In the article “10 Biggest Benefits of Meditation” we presented an overview of scientific research on meditation in simple, everyday language. Here we have upped the ante — this section is meant for those who want to go more deeply into the studies and read the research papers themselves.

We have provided as many full texts of research papers as possible. And in the cases we were been unable to make the full text of the scientific article available online due to copyright issues, we’ve included a link to the publisher’s page where the study can be purchased.

We continually update this database to add the latest research studies.
