  • Scientific research has shown that the most beneficial meditation is Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation® (TM®). The striking reduction of stress and anxiety caused by TM is 3 to 4 times greater than that achieved by most meditation or relaxation methods (trademark disclaimer).

  • The first articles about the good effects of TM were published around 1970 in important magazines and scientific journals, including Science, American Journal of Physiology, Scientific American (read more).

  • In 1995 Dr. Deepak Chopra created the Primordial Sound® meditation, which is a simple mantra meditation method with no breath control.

  • Unfortunately Chopra's technique is quite expensive (US$375.00) and the cost of TM is prohibitive (US$1500.00, temporarily reduced to US$960.00).
  • In 2003 a former TM teacher created the inexpensive Natural Stress Relief© home-course that is available on this website for US$25.00 (or the equivalent in other currencies).

  • The Natural Stress Relief technique (NSR) is based on a single basic syllable or "mantra", that is suitable for anybody.



  • How effective is the Natural Stress Relief technique?

  • Several testimonials show that NSR is very effective and beneficial: practitioners report a remarkable reduction of stress and anxiety.
NSR: sharp increase in skin electrical resistance due to anxiety reduction (Istituto Scientia, 2005)

  • Scientific research shows the effectiveness of Natural Stress Relief, including peer-reviewed articles in the Scopus-ranked journals Psychological Reports and Social Behavior and Personality (read more).
