The Transcendental Meditation and Tm-sidid Programme and Reversal of the Ageing Process: a Longitudinal Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Longitudinal reductions in biological age were observed in participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme. Over an eighteen-month period, average biological age decreased from 7.5 years younger than chronological age to 10.6 years younger. Duration of practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme was correlated with the degree to which both biological and functional ages were younger than chronological age. -EDITORS
