| Summary: | Transcendental meditation is a popular meditation technique that has been taught worldwide since the 1960s.

Prior research on transcendental meditation, although exhaustive, has neglected the objective aspects of the technique and this thesis aimed to address this paucity, by supplementing the previous research with subjective insight and meaning. |
