medical costs decrease 28 percent after 5 years of transcendental
meditation practice
According to a study published this week in the September/October
2011 issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion (Vol. 26, No.
1, pp. 56-60), people with consistently high health care costs
experienced a 28 percent cumulative decrease in physician fees after
an average of five years practicing the stress-reducing
Transcendental Meditation technique compared with their baseline.
Both between and within group comparisons were statistically
significant. This study has major policy implications.
