Transcendental Meditation for Back Pain
Transcendental Meditation for back pain is a unique idea in treatment methodology. Transcendental Meditation or TM, is a therapy that works to control the symptoms of physical back pain and defeat the causes of
psychological back pain.
TM is a beneficial activity which may or may not help your symptoms, but will certainly enrich your overall wellbeing.

What is Transcendental Meditation for Back Pain?
TM is a form of meditation that seeks to quiet the mind and place the practitioner in a state of mental calm. This particular style of meditation does not involve concentration or deep thought, but instead tries to empty the background noise from one’s soul. Each practitioner has a unique and personal sound that is repeated over and over throughout the meditation. This sound is called a MANTRA.
Benefits of TM
Transcendental Meditation has been used as a therapy for many physical and psychological problems including:
* Hypertension
* Back Ache
* Headaches
* Stress Relief * Addiction
* Anxiety
* General Health
Transcendental Meditation History
TM is the brainchild of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and has been taught since 1958. TM has been likened to a religion by some critics and a cult by others. The reality of the system is an organized central governing body controlling satellite schools around the globe. Over 6 million have learned TM including many famous celebrities and musicians.
Recommendation on Transcendental Meditation for Back Pain
I have never tried this therapy but know many who swear by its healing and restorative abilities. Any form of meditation is good for the mind and the soul and TM is no exception. Personally, I prefer the dynamic meditation provided by martial arts training to any other form of passive meditation. But as they say, “To each their own…”
If you have an interest in alternative and especially new age therapies, you might want to explore whether TM might be a valuable part of your combined care program for back pain.
