Transcendental Meditation

Spread by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Transcendental Meditation rests on the mental repetition of a personal mantra, minimal effort and access to transcendental consciousness. Without forced concentration, the practice aims at a deep rest. Its best-supported indications concern anxiety disorders, chronic stress and hypertension.

This therapy is covered in detail (principles, indications, protocol, level of evidence) in Volume 5 of the Mémento des Psychothérapies. See the volume.
