TM in Japan

 Sumitomo Heavy Industries

More than 10,000 business people in Japan have learned the Transcendental Meditation Technique. Over 2,000 of them are top executives of leading Japanese companies including Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Toyota Motor Company, Kyocera (Yashika), and One World Supermarkets. Over 100 Japanese companies have introduced the TM program to their managers and employees. After the implementation of the Transcendental Meditation program at Sumitomo Heavy Industries, a high technology company with about 8,000 employees, research on the project was conducted by the National Institute of Industrial Health of the Japanese government's Ministry of Labour. The study evaluated 447 participating managers and employees in comparison to 321 controls at the same company. Participants showed substantial improvements in physical and mental health, including significant reductions in anxiety, insomnia, depression, emotional instability, physical complaints, smoking, and digestive problems.


What Businessmen Say about TM...

'Transcendental Meditation has brought us -- more than 25,000 employees who have been instructed into Transcendental Meditation -- much closer together. We feel enriched and empowered and better able to serve.' -- D. S. Seth Chairman Tata Tea Ltd, Chairman Emeritus, Tata Chemicals Ltd, India

'During Transcendental Meditation we experience our inner nature -- which is cool, calm, and refreshing. This daily experience of deep inner silence results in more energy and alertness during the day, making our activity more successful and enjoyable. And we feel also it's very Indian -- it is something that comes naturally to the people of India. This will give us an edge in the global environment, where we have to compete with people from all over the world.' -- Dr. B. K. Modi Chairman and President, ModiCorp

'Transcendental Meditation… gives much needed peace of mind, helps professionally by increasing concentration levels and finally, gives the bottom line satisfaction at the end of a long workday. The practical day-to-day benefits include more alertness, increased levels of tolerance, patience, and understanding.' -- Anant Dehadrai India Director, Sumitomo Heavy Industries

'In the very first week I personally realised the effect of Transcendental Meditation on my working -- and in the next four months, on my health. Now I work with better efficiency due to better clarity of mind and thoughts. I credit Transcendental Meditation for controlling my blood pressure and for keeping me fresh and active throughout the day, thus improving my quality of life. I recommend Transcendental Meditation to those who want to improve their quality of life at the cost of 20 minutes twice a day.' -- K. K. Agrawal Senior Vice President (Operations), Hero Honda

'After having practised Transcendental Meditation twice daily for about 20 minutes each time, during the last 6 months, I am much more relaxed even during moments of high pressure. My memory is also better. My relationship with my family members and colleagues in the office has substantially improved. The so called factor of luck or good fortune is even more evident in a number of critical situations. I am over 60 and have been practising yoga for the last 44 years. Despite this, TM has certainly been a great help in substantially improving the quality of my life.' -- Shashi Ullal President and Managing Director, Hughes Escorts Communication LTD

'I have practised Transcendental Meditation since 1974, and now more than 100 co-workers at Ericsson apply this technique. I find it much easier to implement new ideas, as I have the drive to formulate and propagate them in a constructive way. It's also easier to take and accept new things and resolve conflicts between old and new. There is also more direct communication in the organisation.' -- Eva Salomonsson Director of Technique and Quality Department, Ericsson, Sweden

'We have chosen MCDP to achieve a well-balanced personality development of our employees. Those of us who have practised TM in SRF have reported many benefits-better alertness and calmness as well as freedom from many stress-related health problems. All these will doubtless improve harmony and teamwork in our organisation, besides improving the lives of our people.' -- Ramanathan President HRD, Sri Ram Fibres LTD

'Transcendental Meditation has been very helpful to me in solving business as well as personal problems. I find that the practice makes me feel deeply relaxed, and my attitude has become more positive. I am sure that Transcendental Meditation will be instrumental in bringing joy and happiness in the lives of many more people.' -- Ratan Jindal Managing Director, Jindal Strips

'Transcendental Meditation, for me, is the means to get back to myself. It gives rest, solidity and insight into the happenings around oneself. For me, Transcendental Meditation works at the fundamental level of mind and body, integrating them both more and more. ' -- Pieter Koridon, Management Development Manager (ret.) IBM, Holland

'Transcendental Meditation increases the integrity of the functioning of the whole brain physiology. It is very useful for relieving the tension of the mind and in developing creativity. Having a method to restore tranquillity of the mind is in great demand these days.' -- Hideo Itoh, M.D. Industrial Doctor, Toyota Motor Company,
Japan

- Burton A. Dole, Jr. Former Chairman and CEO, Puritan-Bennett Corp. Leading manufacturer of respiratory products: "The key to success in today's world is innovation, creativity -- beyond anything else. If you create products and services that are clearly better than what your competitors produce, you're going to succeed in today's world. Having the ability to enhance one's own creativity as well as that of one's employees seems to me to be the ultimate responsibility of a manager within a company. And the Transcendental Meditation program allows that creativity enhancement to take place beyond anything I've ever seen."

- Steve Rubin Chairman and CEO, United Fuels International, Inc. International energy brokerage firm: "For me the experience of settled inner wakefulness and expanded awareness during the Transcendental Meditation technique is the real foundation for successful decision making. After meditating I have the mental clarity and alertness for laser-like focus on the details and, at the same time, for broad comprehension so I don't get lost in the details. I find myself continuously growing in insight and intuition, as well as in the ability to focus and analyse. Over my years in business, the TM technique has been a real competitive advantage."
