Studies show that a particular type of meditation—Transcendental Meditation (TM)—can lower blood pressure. TM involves the repetition of a word or phrase, known as a mantra, for about 20 minutes while seated in a comfortable position with the eyes closed. Learning TM is not difficult, but it is best to have a qualified instructor teach you. There are many forms of meditation, but this technique has been the most widely studied form and the benefits can extend far beyond lowering blood pressure. Other benefits include: improved sleep, less tension and stress, sharper memory, more self-confidence and inner calm.
