Here at TAPA Institute, we are aware of the many benefits meditation can offer. One form of meditation we share with our clients studying for their certification exams is transcendental meditation. To perform transcendental meditation, sit down, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and repeat a positive mantra to yourself for 15 minutes.

Here are some benefits transcendental meditation can have on your mental and physical state:          

1.      Reduced stress and anxiety

Transcendental meditation has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety in individuals. By helping to relax your mind and body, physical and mental stress is relieved.

2.      Greater sense of clarity and productivity

This reason is why we recommend transcendental meditation to our clients. Studying for a certification exam can be overwhelming at times making it hard to focus. With this meditation they can clear their minds allowing them to be more productive when studying.

3.      Reduced cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone that is released into the bloodstream when the body experiences stress which can cause elevated blood pressure or heart rate. To help bring your cortisol levels back to a normal amount and feel less stressed, performing transcendental meditation can help.

4.      Improved memory

One of the number one things stress can affect is memory. When studying for your certification exam, you do not want to let your stress affect your ability to remember information. Transcendental meditation has been proven to help improve brain function and memory. 

As you continue to study for your certification exam, we encourage you to use transcendental meditation whenever you would like.
