Benefits to Business
through the
TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION and
TM-SIDHI Programme

In a large study conducted over a 5-month period by the National Institute of Industrial Health of the Japanese Ministry of Labour and the St. Marianna Medical Institute, 447 industrial workers of Sumitomo Heavy industries were taught the Transcendental Meditation technique and compared with 321 workers who did not learn the Transcendental Meditation technique. The Transcendental Meditation technique group showed significantly decreased physical complaints, decreased impulsiveness, decreased emotional instability, decreased neurotic tendencies, decreased anxiety, and decreased insomnia.

Employees practising the Transcendental Meditation Programme an average of 11 months showed significant improvements at work compared with members of a control group. Relationships with co-workers and supervisors improved, and job performance and job satisfaction increased, while the desire to change jobs decreased (ref. 1). The results of this research were replicated in a study with several control groups, which also found significant improvements in the same areas (ref. 2).

Conclusion

The experience of unbounded awareness during the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes neutralises the stress born of routine work. It leads to broad, comprehensive vision, with the ability to spontaneously "compute" whatever is necessary to achieve a goal with the least effort and greatest benefit for oneself, the organisation, and society. One's job becomes a means to unfold higher levels of success, personal development, and satisfaction.
