Norton Shores Library will feature session on natural way to relieve anxiety

Looking for a natural way to settle down, relieve anxiety and stress and feel calmer? For over fifty years the Transcendental Meditation technique has been taught to over six million people around the world.

Nearly one in five American adults suffer from anxiety disorders, which now constitute the most common mental illness in the country. One in six Americans takes antidepressant drugs, a 65% surge over just 15 years. The problem is particularly acute among younger Americans.

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural and effortless technique that anyone can learn.  It is practiced twice a day for twenty minutes sitting comfortably with your eyes closed.  It is not a religion and does not involve any belief systems.

Recently the American Heart Association began recommending Transcendental Meditation after scientific research showed it is the best program of personal development they have used to lower high blood pressure and anxiety. 

For more information about what Transcendental Meditation is and how to learn come to a free introductory lecture on Wednesday June 5, at 6:30 PM at the Norton Shores Branch Library.
