Inner Strength
While it may seem that our problems are entirely the result of the enormous stressors in our lives, our mental balance and the degree of functioning of our nervous system actually determine how we feel and respond, and that is far more important. Which is better: to be exposed to few stressors but be overwhelmed by them, or to be exposed to many stessors and respond with grace and humor? Mental balance, normal functioning of the nervous system, grace, and good humor are all aspects of natural inner strength. The important question is why so many of us don't have the degree of inner strength that would protect us from stressors and would allow us to express our inner creativity and intelligence fully, resulting in a happy, productive, successful, and fulfilled life. If inner strength is natural and normal for some people, what limits it for others? What causes inner weakness?

than having just one breaker to protect the whole building. Like a modern building, we hypothesize that the human nervous system has a distributed "graceful degradation" mechanism that protects it from serious damage when it is overloaded. While we haven't as yet identified it in terms of anatomy or biochemistry, researchers can observe the very real negative physiological and mental effects of stressors on people over time, using measurable effects such as reaction time, anxiety, trust, anger, memory, creativity, problem solving, skin resistance, EEG, blood pressure, and blood chemistry, among others.
course of personal instruction taught in TM centers throughout the world. Scientific researchers were immediately attracted to this "new" technique as a result of their personal experiences and observations, and their many high-quality research projects generated remarkable results that were published in over one hundred peer-reviewed scientific journals. We have learned from these studies that TM generates a broadly beneficial and unique state of physiology that has been called "restful alertness", a state of rest that is much deeper than sleep. More accurately, it teaches a simple, effortless, and natural technique called transcending, which quickly reduces the metabolic activity of the body, while very gently keeping the mind alert.
But Transcendental Meditation , fortunately, holds no monopoly on this natural technique. NSR teaches apparently the identical effortless mental technique by using completely different instructional methods (see the details below).
Our research studies replicate many of the Transcendental Meditation results, and our unsolicited testimonials describe much the same sorts of results.

immunity to stressors that is natural and spontaneous in a fully functioning nervous system. This is the great value of eliminating stress. And anyone can do it easily and effectively by learning NSR .

unique practice leading to a unique state of consciousness. Whether taught by the NSR or TMorganizations, transcending is a remarkably effective method for producing a state of rest much deeper than sleep. This means that much deeper stresses can be dissolved. The lawyers for TM have asked us to state that these two systems of instruction are not in any way directly associated; they are in fact taught by completely different, unrelated, and indeed competitive organizations: see our comparison between these two systems of instruction. In the American spirit of improvement through competition we are proud and happy to offer the world a more attractive alternative to TM for practical stress reduction and the efficient and effective development of self-actualization.
