An integrative meta-analysis comparing the effects of the Transcendental Meditation technique with those of other meditational procedures indicates that Transcendental Meditation consistently produces the greatest benefit. The analysis shows that relaxation procedures, other meditation techniques, or techniques which attempt to imitate Transcendental Meditation, produced less than one half of the treatment effect of the actual Transcendental Meditation technique.
