If you’re suffering from sleepless nights and constantly tossing and turning, learning the simple natural practice of Transcendental Meditation for sleep could be a solution for you.
Ensuring the quality of our sleep is crucial for a fulfilling waking life. However, 35% of adults regularly grapple with insomnia regularly. Stress and anxiety emerge as primary culprits behind sleep disturbances, disrupting the natural functioning of the nervous system and preventing deep sleep.
Not to mention the next day when you face going to work or dealing with your family while feeling sleep-deprived. Maybe you’ve tried herbs, drugs, and exercise, but still sleep eludes you.
One solution that is backed by scientific studies and endorsed by many health professionals is Transcendental Meditation or TM. This is a simple natural mental technique that anyone can practise which brings profound benefits to the mind and body.
Backed by Scientific Research
Scientific studies, such as the one at the University of Alberta, have shown that TM increases serotonin levels and reduces the effects of stress, allowing people to fall asleep more easily.
How does Transcendental Meditation work?
TM is a natural and easy meditation that allows the mind to experience thought at finer levels. Spontaneously, the mind and body settle down to a state of deep rest. This allows stress and strain to dissolve naturally, and people feel more refreshed and energized afterward.
Anyone can practice TM. Moreover, you don’t even have to be smart or clever. All you need to do is sit comfortably in a chair, close your eyes, and begin the practice. During meditation, everything is automatic. Consequently, you settle down naturally and feel more rested and at peace.
That’s why people of all ages and from all walks of life have learned the technique. In fact, TM has been around for over 50 years and over 5 million people have learned the practice.
And you don’t even have to believe it’s going to work for it to produce the results. In fact, even if you’re skeptical, it will still work for you. No matter how active your mind seems, it will work and you’ll experience deep rest.
You just need to make time available, 15-20 minutes twice a day, to invest in this experience of deep rest and begin to change your life.
