My understandings… my thoughts

(The Science of Creative Intelligence® (SCI) is a science of consciousness derived from ancient Vedic knowledge by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I am taking this course for this block and I am planning to post series of blog entries in Science of Creative Intelligence.)

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, spontaneous and effortless technique that can be practiced by any age groups and regardless of any cultural background.
While one practices TM, the mind goes into deeper state of awareness and at the same time physiology enters into the state of deep rest which collectively refers to as restful alertness where our mind is in its full potential dynamism.
According to my direct experience of regular TM, I have found myself to be achieving most of my goals easily. I have found significant changes in different aspect of my life and my body. The most important ones I noticed are:-

1. Optimization of Brain Functioning: - I found that my brain is functioning more efficiently and smoothly after I started practicing TM technique. I have found myself doing better n better day by day in my study. I’ve started believing that I can understand more complex problem easily and in a better way than before.

2. Reduced Anxiety: - This is one of the most important advantages I have gained after practicing TM. In past, I used to get emotional quickly. Even small problems brought anxiety for me and I used to get tensed easily or within no time. But after practicing TM, I can control my emotions both happiness and sadness.

3. Increased Self-Actualization:- After practicing TM technique, I have realized that I’ve been able to unfold the potentials that lie within me. Its like I have discovered myself, I’ve become more self motivated and confident person.
I’ve also noticed that I have gained confidence, I am feeling more mature and now I believe that I am a mature and stable Personality.

4. Decrease Hospitalization and Doctor Visits: - I was sick as soon as I left my home country, and that is why I missed out on my regular SCI course. At those early days, I needed to visit the doctor regularly. But, after few time I started feeling better and better dramatically and that is also without any medication but I believe with the help of meditation. Now I am a fully fit person and strongly believe that TM has a great influence on my health.

5. Improved Academic Performance: - It has been nearly four months that I am practicing Transcendental Meditation, and I am doing well in my academics. TM helped me to concentrate on my studies. I pay more attention to the professor than before and I have developed the good problem solving skill in my programming field also. I have realized these changes in me after practicing Transcendental meditation.
