The review, sponsored by the United States Department of Health and Human Services was performed by the prestigious University of Alberta Evidence-based Practice Center. It was titled Meditation Practices for Health: State of the Research.
The following chart summarizes the not-so-surprising findings on Transcendental Meditation and blood pressure. It’s not that surprising since the high impact medical Journal of Hypertension performed a previous review on Transcendental Meditation and found there was no evidence to support that Transcendental Meditation actually reduced blood pressure.
So if you’re hearing contrary claims, most likely from someone trying to sell you Transcendental Meditation products or services, look for independent research, not research performed by Transcendental Meditation organization representatives.
