Employees at a major US company—including those who were skeptical at first about the practice—are enjoying profound and wide-ranging benefits from the Transcendental Meditation Programme. They recently learned the technique through the Center for Leadership Performance.

Comments from employees about their experiences highlight that the Transcendental Meditation Technique is effective regardless of age, background, culture, and beliefs, said Dr Mario Orsatti in a recent report. Dr Orsatti is National Director of Communication in the administration of Raja Dr John Hagelin, Raja of Invincible America for the Global Country of World Peace.

Dr Orsatti said that even those who were initially skeptical are enjoying great benefit, and quoted the experience of one such person:

'Honestly, I went into TM ''suspending my disbelief'' because I simply could not resist the opportunity that the company provided to expand my education. I love learning new things and I thought ''What can I lose?''

'So I went to the introductory presentation. The demonstration of the young woman's brainwaves and how they changed during meditation was incredibly impressive. Then I worried—''how can I possibly get up at 5:30 instead of 6:00 everyday just to be able to meditate and then get to work on time?''

'As you know this doubt has all changed. I get up happily every morning at 5:30 because I feel I can no longer start my day successfully without meditation. And amazingly enough I am no longer exhausted all the time, even though I get the same amount of sleep.

'I sleep better, I think better, my blood pressure is down. I'm able to cope with the little stresses that crop up every day with a great deal more calmness and equanimity than I did before.

'Twenty minutes of meditation goes so quickly that I often wish I had more time to continue meditating.

'So then looking back over this paragraph, I guess TM has changed my life in subtle and not so subtle positive ways. It's not really a hokey thing to say, even though it might sound like it: ''What a great gift.''

'I am convinced that my colleagues who have not had the opportunity yet to partake in this, are missing a tremendous experience. I try not to ''proselytize'', but sometimes that is difficult. I hope our company knows what a gift it has given us. I'm so happy I decided to suspend my disbelief.'

Global Good News will feature more about the experiences of company employees with Transcendental Meditation in the coming days.
