Transcendental Meditation can increase intelligence and improve health. “The experience is simple, natural, and incredibly profound. It dissolves stress and resets and rebalances the whole mind-body system. Maharishi likens it to watering the root of a tree, where a single act nourishes the tree’s countless leaves and branches. ‘Water the root to enjoy the fruit,’ ... Consciousness is the most fundamental value of life, and now we know we can cultivate and improve our lives from that deepest level.”
