I will be offering a course in Transcendental Meditation beginning Saturday, December 5. In addition, there will be a brief refresher course for those who already practice TM.
For the TM course, there will be an introductory meeting on Thursday, December 3 at 7:30pm at a location near the Oktyabrskaya metro (which is where all course sessions will be held). Please let me know if you would like to attend to learn more about Transcendental Meditation. There is no obligation to take the course; if you decide you to learn, you can sign up at that time. If you have any questions about the course please feel free to contact me by mobile phone or email. For those who have already learned TM, the refresher course will be an opportunity for checking of meditation and to discuss questions about the practice. You might be interested in the two recently released studies of Transcendental Meditation as reported on Health.com as excerpted below: Transcendental Meditation May Keep Your Heart Beatingand Ease College Anxiety Two new studies provide compelling reasons to consider taking up Transcendental Meditation (TM). One, presented last week at the American Heart Association¹s annual meeting, showed that people with heart disease who practiced TM over a five- to nine-year period slashed their risk of dying, or of having a heart attack or stroke, by 47%. Their blood pressure decreased significantly, and people in a high-stress subgroup also reduced their stress levels. The nine-year study followed 201 African-American men and women. Their average age was 59, and they all had narrowing of their heart arteries. They were randomly assigned to learn and practice TM, or to take classes about heart risk factors, including diet and exercise advice. TM lowers blood pressure and eases anxiety and depression The second study, to be published in the December issue of the American Journal of Hypertension, showed that TM reduces anxiety, depression, and anger among at-risk college students. In a three-month study, 298 students from American University and other Washington, D.C.area colleges were randomly assigned to learn and practice TM, or to a group who didn¹t learn TM. The study was conducted by American University and the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention. A subgroup of 159 students at risk for hypertension was analyzed separately.
