Istituto Scientia - Natural Stress Relief technique

You compare - You decide

Only two techniques seem to be as effective as Transcendental Meditation®:
Chopra's Primordial Sound® meditation and our Natural Stress Relief© technique.
All three are simple mantra meditation methods with no breath-control. (Trademarks).

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, that is similar to Maharishi's TM.
Unfortunately Chopra's technique is quite expensive ($375.00) and the cost of TM is prohibitive ($1500.00).

In 2003 a former TM teacher, R.H., created the inexpensive Natural Stress Relief© home-course ($25.00) that
is available on this website.
The Natural Stress Relief technique (NSR) is based on a single basic syllable or "mantra", that is suitable for anybody.
(By the way, the original TM, that was taught from 1958 to 1968, was also based on a single mantra: read more).
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)

Reduction of anxiety shown by a sharp increase in skin resistance (NSR - Istituto Scientia 2005)

Some scientific research suggests that NSR may be as effective as Maharishi's TM® (of course, research on NSR is still very small if compared to that on TM®: consider that NSR was created on 2003).
