The London Evening Standard FEBUARY 17th 1998, Industrial Revalation Sir John Harvey-Jones says "I use TM because it enables me to relax and I am much easier to live with. The effect has been dramatic. To coin a phrase, I don't make a drama out of a crisis. If I gave it up now my wife would leave me. I think every businessman would benefit." The Sunday Times Magazine DECEMBER 11th 1998, "It Changed My Life" John Harding, journalist, "My concentration improved, I have amazing physical energy and am capable of long hours of physical work without fatigue. After a fortnight I realised I had stopped biting my nails, a lifelong habit. I have a sense of organisation I have lacked all my life. I feel more patient and tolerant. The Sunday Telegraph OCTOBER 14th 1997, Dr James Le Fanu "The overall benefits of regular TM are so staggering as to be almost unbelievable - in one 5-year study, half the number of in-patient admissions to hospital (87% fewer for heart disease and nervous system disorders) These findings are remarkable." The London Evening Standard APRIL 4th 2000 "If your boss sits in the office with his eyes shut it does'nt mean he's nodding off. Transcendental Meditation is the latest craze for high fliers." American Heart Association Journal - Stroke MARCH 3rd 2000 Stress reduction through Transcendental Meditation may reduce atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries) and risk of heart attack and stroke, according to findings published today. |
The Journal Northern Business Editor, Peter Jackson 'Meditating for Success' APRIL 10th 1996 Ending his investigation into the value of transcendental meditation in combating work-related stress, PETER JACKSON gives his verdict on the technique he volunteered to learn three months ago. YES, it works, it really works. TM does the business and I can vouch for it. I volunteered to learn it at the beginning of December, cynically convinced that while it might work for some people - by which, frankly, I meant the suggestible and down right weird - it would have no effect on me. But as I explained in the first if these series of articles the effect was almost immediate and beneficial. Amazingly, something as simple as sitting down, closing my eyes and mentally repeating a mantra over and over for 20 minutes twice a day has some far reaching results. I felt more relaxed throughout the day, less bothered by minor irritants, more even-tempered and more energetic. Any stress just flows away. Come bedtime,I sleep easily and more deeply than I have since childhood and I wake feeling genuinely refreshed. I grant that this sounds like a testimonial for herbal medicine, but still, that's been my experience - an entirely positive one. And the whole process is extremely pleasurable, like being asleep but still being conscious to enjoy it. The Northern Echo JULY 6th 1998 Darlington G.P, Dr Tony Shaw. "I do a very stressful job and was looking for some form of relaxation so I decided to look into it - and it was amazing. My mind gets quite active sometimes and I find it quite difficult to concentrate on one objective, but TM helped a lot." The Journal APRIL 10th 1996 Paul Sheperd has been meditating for about 25 years. He is a GP with a practice in Sacriston, County Durham. "I've found over the years as I'm sure other people have done, that it helps to make you more relaxed and clearer thinking, more able to cope with stress. As a doctor, I don't think its just for ill people. I see it as a quality of life improver." |
