MEDITATION HELPS HEAL TRAUMATIZED VETERANS
ranscendental Meditation (TM) has a dramatic healing effect on people
with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can also result in lower blood pres- sure, according to two new studies. TM—a technique to avoid dis-
tracting thoughts, decrease stress and promote a state of relaxed awareness— reduced PTSD symptoms in combat veterans by as much as 50 percent in just eight weeks, according to a study from Georgetown University, in Wash- ington, D.C., published in the journal Military Medicine. The veterans also reported decreased depression and improved quality of life, with a greater ability to come back to their civilian lives after returning from duty. Vietnam War vets randomly
assigned to TM sessions at a Denver Veterans Center also experienced greater reductions in alcohol usage, insomnia and depression than those in conven- tional counseling. At the conclusion of a landmark three-month study, 70 percent of the meditating veterans felt they no longer required the services of the center. A separate American Heart
Association report on the general U.S. population showed that the practice of TM generally reduced systolic blood pressure in subjects by five points and diastolic by three points, enough to put many of them into normal range. Previ- ous clinical trials have shown that lower blood pressure through TM practice is associated with significantly lower rates of death, heart attack and stroke. TM is usually practiced for 15 to 20
minutes twice a day by sitting comfortably and focusing on an indi- vidually selected word or series of words.

She knew Hailey could do better... then she found LearningRx Chattanooga
two to three lessons that I started to see a change. Not only could she say all her presidents backwards and forwards
starting to click; she was more aware and she was starting to be the “smart” girl at school. She is slowly starting to read books on her own and actually enjoying it. She was taking an interest in school and wanting to try again. There was a spark and a light back in Hailey that I had not seen in a long time. - Hailey’s mom Katrina; Chattanooga, TN
