" Stress is eliminated through the organizing intelligence of the Body --

Stress is a major problem. Not only does stress interfere with functions

such as attention, memory, organization, and integration, but prolonged

stress actually kills brain cells and shrinks the brain's main memory

structures. I have been a big fan of using Transcendental Meditation in

schools for many years, due in part to the program's unparalleled

ability to create the experience of 'restful alertness'. This unique

state produces very high levels of coherence or orderliness in the

functioning of the brain, which results in the experience of increased

peacefulness, harmony, mental clarity, and the ability to see things in

perspective. "
