For Teachers and Administrators:
Growth in Vitality, Creativity, and Stress-Free Life

The profession of teaching demands that the teacher assume a wide range of roles in guiding students to higher levels of intellectual and personal development. They must be ever alert, moving the class forward, addressing individual needs, solving problems, and handling emergencies. The Transcendental Meditation® program benefits teachers and administrators immensely, enabling them to meet their responsibilities with composure, creativity, and joy.

Scientific research findings on the Transcendental Meditation program of special interest to teachers and administrators include:

reduction of mental and physical stress
increased physiological and mental flexibility
reduction of stress-related health problems, such as high blood pressure and insomnia
substantially reduced medical expenditures and hospitalization
increased field independence, the ability to maintain broad awareness while focusing sharply
increased job satisfaction
increased self-actualization

As teachers develop their total brain potential through this technique, their creativity and inner happiness blossom; mistake-free days, when they do everything right, become the norm rather than the exception. This is life increasingly in accord with natural law. Making use of total knowledge of natural law through the practice of the Transcendental Meditation program is a highly reliable way to prevent problems and gain fulfillment in professional and personal life.

This Association offers the scientifically validated Consciousness-BasedSM education program, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. More than 40 years of experience and over 600 scientific research studies have shown this non-sectarian program to improve educational outcomes, reduce stress and antisocial behavior, increase creativity and intelligence, and unfold the inner happiness of students and teachers of all cultural and educational backgrounds.

Dr. Norman D. Brust, former Superintendent of Schools and Principal, St. Louis, Missouri (35 years of teaching and administrative experience): “Transcendental Meditation is the answer to stress. It produces a calm and settling influence, so that one doesn’t get so enmeshed in problems, but can approach them with a clear mind, a broad perspective, and even a sense of humor. With a collected mind my energy is less scattered, I get more done, and I can focus in on things more quickly. Also my health has improved. It is simple to practice; it just takes the decision that you’re going to do it twice a day. I recommend it highly to teachers, administrators, and board members.”
