Findings: Benefits for the elderly demonstrating
reversal of ageing: increased longevity (higher survival
rate). Reduction of systolic blood pressure to more ideal
levels. Improved mental health (improvements on nurses' mental

associate learning and greater perceptual flexibility).

of behavioural flexibility and ageing (greater ability to cope
with inconvenience, reduced feelings of being old, less
impatience with others). Greater sense of well-being (feeling
better during the TM program, high interest in the TM
Programme and high ratings of the value of the TM program.
Feeling better and more relaxed after the TM program).
