Send by sister, who runs the TM center in Evanston, Illinois:
from a young woman.... My experience with TM: Going into TM, I was unsure what the benefits I would find from this practice. I suffer from severe anxiety and am on medication just to make it through the day to keep it under control. Within a few weeks of starting practicing TM, I found not only did I need to take my medications as often, but overall my stress and anxiety levels were much lower. Through TM, I was able to learn to keep myself from getting myself to getting to the point where I felt the same anxiety, depression or stress as I previously did. As I continue to practice, I continue to find more and more things that don’t “trigger” these feelings and overall I feel more at peace. After a few months of practicing, I can now meditate on a packed bus or CTA train and I don’t even notice the noise or people around, nor do I have any feelings of anxiety. Overall, my health has improved, my mental health has improved and I feel happier than I ever have. TM has changed my life in so many ways, it truly has brought me peace I have never been able to obtain on my own or with medications. I only wish I could found this sooner.
