Dear Friends and Supporters,
It is fourteen years since Dr. Fred Travis, Dr. Brian Rees, and I first measured positive changes in Congolese war refugees who had learned the Transcendental Meditation® program (TM). All of the refugees suffered with very high levels of PTSD and likely PTSD and those who learned TM came out of PTSD within 30 days of TM practice.
Many new studies have been published since then demonstrating the effectiveness of TM in PTSD recovery. Today’s newsletter highlights three landmark studies published in 2024 and 2025 that clearly establish TM as the new gold standard for PTSD recovery when compared with other therapies.
The first section below summarizes key findings across these studies, followed by more detailed overviews with links to the original publication and, when available, the Eureka press alerts widely publicizing the studies.
We offer these findings to help any individuals or organizations who wish to incorporate Transcendental Meditation into their lives or programs.
