The Transcendental Meditation technique is a major component of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health Programme. This study examined the effect of the Transcendental Meditation Programme on what researchers in the field of ageing have called the "biological age" of a person - how old a person is physiologically in contrast to chronologically. As a group, long-term TM Programme participants, who had been practising the Transcendental Meditation Programme for more than five years, were physiologically 12 years younger than their chronological age, as measured by lower blood pressure, better near-point vision, and better auditory discrimination. Short-term TM Programme participants were physiologically 5 years younger than their chronological age. The study statistically controlled for the effects of diet and exercise.

This study found that people who participated in a one-week Maharishi Rejuvenation Programme of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health Programme improved significantly in general well-being, energy and vitality, strength and stamina, appetite and digestive patterns, state of mind and emotions, and youthfulness and rejuvenation. Control subjects who received only intellectual knowledge of this Programme and its principles for the same amount of time did not show the same amount of improvement. These findings indicate that the Maharishi Rejuvenation Programme, which is recommended to be applied seasonally to remove accumulated physiological toxins of the season, promotes physiological and psychological balance.
