The article goes on to describe the experience of Transcendental Meditation<\/a>: ”[W]hen the mind has been calmed . . . it will effortlessly sink below the level of thought to ‘pure consciousness’ ”\u2014a state of blissful relaxation\u2014”which is the foundation of the health benefits that have been measured in the medical research, much of it funded by the government\u2026. The deep tranquility TM promotes quiets the body’s ‘fight or flight’ stress response, lowering blood pressure and anxiety and combating depression.”<\/p>\n
