Transcendental Meditation allows your mind to settle inward beyond thought to experience the source of thought — a state of pure awareness, also known as transcendental consciousness, or the unified field. This is the most silent and peaceful level of consciousness — your innermost Self. In this state of restful alertness, your brain functions with significantly greater coherence and your body gains deep rest. - See more at: http://tmsw.org.uk/tmhampshiremic.org.uk/index.php/what-is-tm#sthash.YRGVETCG.dpuf
