  Marked decreases in hepatic and renal blood flow, and a slight increase in cardiac output, were found during Transcendental Meditation, suggesting that a large increase in cerebral blood flow occurs during the practice.

  During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, hepatic and renal blood flow were found to decrease, while cardiac output increased, suggesting that a large increase of cerebral blood flow occurs during Transcendental Meditation.
