Die Forschung auf einen Blick
Die Forschung, die wir für Sie zusammengestellt haben (siehe linke Spalte; bitte jeweils klicken), zeigt: Das Potential des Menschen bietet weitaus größere Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten als bisher angenommen. Mit über 600 Arbeiten, darunter 364 Peer Review-Studien, durchgeführt an 250 unabhängigen Universitäten und anderen wissenschaftlichen Instituten in 33 Ländern, ist TM die wissenschaftlich am umfassendsten dokumentierte Meditationstechnik. Veröffentlicht in über 100 weltweit führenden wissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften, bestätigen die Studien den Nutzen der TM für jeden Lebensbereich (siehe Unterseiten links).
Vorteile für viele Lebensbereiche
Wissenschaftler fanden heraus, dass Transzendentale Meditation die innere Intelligenz des Körpers belebt und dadurch seine angeborene Fähigkeit unterstützt, sich selbst zu heilen. Eine Übersicht über das breite Spektrum positiver Wirkungen — von der Forschung bestätigt und veröffentlicht in führenden medizinischen und anderen akademischen Fachzeitschriften — finden Sie auf den Unterseiten links.
Staatliche Anerkennung und Unterstützung
Die Bundesgesundheitsbehörden der USA (National Institutes of Health, NIH) unterstützen mit rund 24 Mio. USD ein Forschungsprojekt, um Transzendentale Meditation bei der Vorbeugung und Behandlung von Herzkrankheiten, Bluthochdruck und Schlaganfällen noch effizienter einzusetzen. Die bisherigen Studien belegen, dass TM eine klinisch bewährte, kosteneffiziente Methode ist, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und deren Risikofaktoren zu vermindern. Wegen der vielversprechenden Ergebnisse werden die Studien fortgesetzt.

TM ist wirksamer als andere Entspannungsmethoden
Eine Metaanalyse einer Auswahl von 100 veröffentlichten, besonders sorgfältig durchgeführten, randomisiert-kontrollierten Studien berichtete über die Wirkungen von Techniken der Stressreduzierung bei erhöhtem Blutdruck von insgesamt etwa 1000 Probanden (Current Hypertension Reports, Dezember 2007). Die eingesetzten Behandlungsverfahren reichten von einfachem Biofeedback-Training über entspannungsgestütztem Biofeedback, Progressiver Muskelentspannung, Stressmanagement-Training bis hin zum Programm der Transzendentalen Meditation. Die Auswertung zeigte, dass lediglich das Programm der Transzendentalen Meditation eine signifikante Blutdrucksenkung herbeiführen konnte.Zur Studie …

Forschung
Die Forschung auf einen Blick
Die Forschung, die wir für Sie zusammengestellt haben (siehe linke Spalte; bitte jeweils klicken), zeigt: Das Potential des Menschen bietet weitaus größere Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten als bisher angenommen. Mit über 600 Arbeiten, darunter 364 Peer Review-Studien, durchgeführt an 250 unabhängigen Universitäten und anderen wissenschaftlichen Instituten in 33 Ländern, ist TM die wissenschaftlich am umfassendsten dokumentierte Meditationstechnik. Veröffentlicht in über 100 weltweit führenden wissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften, bestätigen die Studien den Nutzen der TM für jeden Lebensbereich (siehe Unterseiten links).
Vorteile für viele Lebensbereiche
Wissenschaftler fanden heraus, dass Transzendentale Meditation die innere Intelligenz des Körpers belebt und dadurch seine angeborene Fähigkeit unterstützt, sich selbst zu heilen. Eine Übersicht über das breite Spektrum positiver Wirkungen — von der Forschung bestätigt und veröffentlicht in führenden medizinischen und anderen akademischen Fachzeitschriften — finden Sie auf den Unterseiten links.
Staatliche Anerkennung und Unterstützung
Die Bundesgesundheitsbehörden der USA (National Institutes of Health, NIH) unterstützen mit rund 24 Mio. USD ein Forschungsprojekt, um Transzendentale Meditation bei der Vorbeugung und Behandlung von Herzkrankheiten, Bluthochdruck und Schlaganfällen noch effizienter einzusetzen. Die bisherigen Studien belegen, dass TM eine klinisch bewährte, kosteneffiziente Methode ist, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und deren Risikofaktoren zu vermindern. Wegen der vielversprechenden Ergebnisse werden die Studien fortgesetzt.

Bluthochdruck
TM ist wirksamer als andere Entspannungsmethoden
Eine Metaanalyse einer Auswahl von 100 veröffentlichten, besonders sorgfältig durchgeführten, randomisiert-kontrollierten Studien berichtete über die Wirkungen von Techniken der Stressreduzierung bei erhöhtem Blutdruck von insgesamt etwa 1000 Probanden (Current Hypertension Reports, Dezember 2007). Die eingesetzten Behandlungsverfahren reichten von einfachem Biofeedback-Training über entspannungsgestütztem Biofeedback, Progressiver Muskelentspannung, Stressmanagement-Training bis hin zum Programm der Transzendentalen Meditation. Die Auswertung zeigte, dass lediglich das Programm der Transzendentalen Meditation eine signifikante Blutdrucksenkung herbeiführen konnte.Zur Studie …
