Overcoming Classroom Stress

Children need to feel safe in school because pressure, stress, and fear undermine learning. And when the safety of students in schools must be protected by metal detectors and armed guards, and when students in Americas most elite upper schools report worrisome levels of stress, pressure, and fatigue, its safe to conclude that somethings wrong. This distorted picture is made worse by the escalating incidence in both children and adolescents of depression and other stress-related disorders, which have dramatic effects on learning and social development, as well as by similar increases in the incidence of learning and attention disorders.

Facts About Transcendental Meditation

At the basis of the Consciousness-Based approach to education is the Transcendental Meditation program. Introduced nearly 50 years ago by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Transcendental Meditation technique develops the full potential of human consciousness, unfolding creativity and intelligence and developing the full brain physiology. In addition, the technique produces a unique experience of physiological restful alertness that dissolves deep-rooted stress and fatigue, thereby promoting ideal health and behavior. More than 6 million people from all countries, religions, and educational backgrounds have learned the technique, and hundreds of scientific research studies have confirmed the practical benefits of the Transcendental Meditation program for mind, body, behavior, and society as a whole (see http://www.tm.org).

What Transcendental Meditation Is and Is Not

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless, easily learned technique practiced silently for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day, sitting comfortably in a chair with the eyes closed. During the practice, the mind settles down, experiencing finer levels of thought, until it transcends the finest level of thought and experiences the source of thought, pure consciousness—the unified field—the source of the unlimited creativity and intelligence expressed in human life and in nature. The Transcendental Meditation technique is not a religion or philosophy and does not involve concentration, control of the mind, or change in lifestyle.
