I wonder if they levitate as well as experience "measurable brain development" (spoiler: probably not measurable) http://blog.tm.org.au/2015/12/seinfeld-jackman-ellen-cameron-discuss-their-transcendental-meditation-practice/ …
@MeditationAVL Also that study rated aerobic exercise sig. better than TM on all counts. Why not advocate for exercise over TM?

@GidMK actually if you look at other studies on TM and blood pressure you will see even higher ratings. -
@MeditationAVL Sadly most of the studies on TM are pretty useless; uncontrolled, small and pretty biased.

@GidMK exercise does not reduce cortisol the way TM does. People need to do something about stress. Look at the studies on TM and PTSD.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@MeditationAVL If you take a look at all of the 4 studies cited, they are basically bunk, not really evidence that TM does anything for PTSD
