In 2 companies that introduced the Transcendental
Meditation program, managers and employees who regularly practiced Transcendental
Meditation improved significantly in overall physical health, mental well-being,
and vitality when compared to control subjects with similar jobs in the
same companies. Transcendental Meditation practitioners also reported significant
reductions in health problems such as headaches and backaches, improved
quality of sleep, and a significant reduction in the use of hard liquor
and cigarettes, compared to personnel in control groups.
