Dear Colleagues,
As health practitioners, we don’t need to be reminded that stress is a factor in 80 percent of disease. Doctors and nurses report that more and more patients are looking to them for guidance in finding a natural way to reduce their stress loads. The TM technique has been shown in research to be twice as effective as other self-development techniques for reducing stress, which is why many prominent practitioners feel confident in recommending it to their patients. We hope you’ll feel inspired by this issue’s featured interview with Norman Rosenthal, M.D., who explains how TM helps reduce stress for disease prevention and recovery.
