What Is Meditation, and How Is Transcendental Meditation Different?
Meditation is a broad category of practices used to train attention and awareness — some involve concentration, some involve mindful observation of thoughts, and some involve chanting or movement. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a specific, standardized technique: it uses a personally assigned mantra, requires no concentration or mind control, and is practiced for 15–20 minutes twice daily with eyes closed. Unlike mindfulness meditation, which trains attention on the present moment, TM is designed to let the mind settle naturally past active thought into a state of restful alertness — which is why it's one of the most researched meditation techniques for anxiety and stress. Sarah El Nabulsi is the UAE National TM Program Director and teaches the authentic technique as founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in Dubai and online.
Ms El Nabulsi is not only a Certified TM and TM Advanced Techniques instructor and Licensed Mental Health provider but she is also the Director of the U.A.E. National Office of the Transcendental Meditation Organization.
About 700 rigorously scientific studies (see here for a selection of the studies) looked at the effects of Transcendental Meditation over the past 50 years. These studies were done in over 200 universities and independent research institutions in more than 100 countries world wide. The regular practice of TM and TM Advance Techniques has been shown to be significantly effective in enhancing, mental, physical, and social wellbeing. The findings are briefly but comprehensively describe in the short Introduction video below by Clinical Psychologist and Licensed TM and TM Advanced Techniques instructor Sarah El Nabulsi.
