A new study suggests that the Transcendental Meditation technique could help improve brain functioning and reduce stress in students.
Fifty students took part in the trial at the American University, in Washington, DC. After ten weeks of meditation the students scored higher on performance tests, reported feeling more alert and said they coped better in difficult situations.
