This installment continues the discussion on how you can improve your performance in school and throughout the day.
Daniel Amen in his book, Making a Good Brain Great, and on his TV show "The Brain in Love" on PBS TV has made a very strong point about the value of increasing blood flow to all parts of the brain for improving interpersonal relationships and success in life. Dr. Amen uses brain imaging to determine blood flow to the brain. When blood flow increases to the brain it also increases to the heart and the rest of the body.
Amen recommends:
We can all use more of our brain potential especially when we are students or professors at a university. However psychologists say we only use a very small portion of the brain.
When you practice the Transcendental Meditation program twice a day you use your total brain potential. Your brain becomes highly enlivened and you feel so much more alert, and you have an improved ability to focus on your studies after practicing the TM program. There are many more benefits as you read on...
The Transcendental Meditation® program, according to an article published in Physiology and Behavior 59, 1996,significantly increased cerebral blood flow during the practice, in contrast to controls. EEG coherence increases significantly with the TM practice after only two weeks compared to individuals own eyes closed condition. EEG coherence has been positively correlated with transcendental consciousness (going beyond thinking).
The benefits of taking time out to meditate result in improved grade point average, increased creativity, improved concept learning, enhanced moral reasoning, www.tm.org/research-on-meditation and www.mum.edu/tm_research/)

Increase your level of happiness!
Of course the key to success is that after you meditate the benefits carry over into your daily activity. You feel more integrated, mentally and physically relaxed, more contented, satisfied and happier. This is the incentive for doing the program twice daily for 20 minutes.
Life should be lived in a blissful state! The TM program accomplishes this very easily and effortlessly. The benefits happen spontaneously and you only have to close your eyes twice a day to meditate. Sure it takes some time to do it but it really pays off and saves alot of time because you get so much more accomplished throughout the day. The body and mind stay calm, balanced and refreshed and you are not spinning your wheels.
The Transcendental Meditation Club on the University of Hawaii campus offers instruction in the TM program, group meditations for people practicing the TM program, lectures on enlightenment, consciousness, creativity, and the brain...

Amen recommends:
- walking 3 times a week for 30 - 40 minutes
- noncontact sports like tennis, ping pong and golf
- eating a healthy diet of vegetables and fresh foods (he does not recommend fast foods)
- drinking alcohol and coffee in moderation as both have a tendency to reduce blood flow and to increase stress in the body.
