Transcending is also a highly effective way to reduce psychological stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.
A major review (meta-analysis) of 146 studies on trait anxiety from Stanford University published in a major journal, Journal of Clinical Psychology, found that TM is the most effective technique known for reducing anxiety. It is more effective than all other meditation and relaxation techniques, [including Progressive Relaxation, Concentration Meditation, the Relaxation Response, Benson’s technique, EMG Biofeedback, and Placebo techniques]. Note: Trait anxiety is how anxious you usually are, as opposed to State anxiety, which is how anxious you are at a particular moment.
