Toomey, M.; Pennington, B.; Chalmers, R.; and Clements, G. The practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme reverses the physiological ageing process. MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, and Department of Biology, University of York, Yorkshire, England, 1982.
Participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program were found to have an average biological age which was 7.2 years younger than their average chronological age of 31.8 years. Length of time practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was found to be correlated with reduction in biological age.
