  From www.tm.org

  "What is the Transcendental Meditation (TM)
  technique? It is a simple, natural, effortless
  procedure practiced 20 minutes twice each day
  while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.
  It's not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. It's
  the most widely practiced, most researched,
  and most effective method of self-development."
