TM & Autism

Clear from anxiety, feeling safe within

The Power of Support

While there might not be a cure for autism, the right support at the right time can make an enormous difference to people living with ASD.

My personal wish and intention is to introduce this helpful interventional tool, and to gently learn and realise through the practice of TM, that ASD is not a condition that needs to be cured, but one that deserves to be recognised as an opportunity.

TM is not a religion or belief system, but a practical and easy-to-learn technique that does not depend on the individual’s belief, philosophy or lifestyle. Therefore it is open to being practiced by anyone. It is distinct, both in its practice and the positive outcomes it can create.

So far its benefits have been experienced by around 10 million people worldwide.

How TM helps the brain with ASD

TM works as filter

It only focuses on information that is self-nurturing, relevant and calming to the brain and releases thoughts and emotions. TM relaxes the brain in a way that all brain waves become coherent therefore the mind becomes deeply restful.

Once the overworked part of the right brain goes into resting mode the part of the left brain becomes conscious and starts to function. Then the alignment of the left and right parts of the brain leads to a sense of balance and equilibrium causing an ongoing build-up of emotional resilience. 

Creating a Safe Space Within

TM is advised by medical doctors. It’s offered by large companies as part of a well-being program, in schools and hospitals and at military bases.  
It’s integrated into the fabric of society, yet it isn’t as accessible for many, who truly need it, as it should be.  
TM creates a space and environment whenever people meditate:

  • Clear of anxiety
  • Clear of distraction
  • Clear of expectation and judgment

The practice of TM creates your own SPACE OF SAFETY WITHIN.

This is most importantly  learnt to be recreated  and integrated from within – from the mind.

Teachers, counsellors and parents, should be supported to understand and recreate these conditions.

Sensory Overload

Sensory overload – is a sensorial influx onto one’s senses, and often of overwhelmingly high volume. It’s difficult to determine what triggers a sensory overload. Therefore it is unpredictable.

Not being understood adds to the anxiety.

It blocks the senses, hearing, and seeing because our brain cannot filter the onslaught of information and that leads to blackouts, shutdowns and meltdowns.

The principles of the autistic brain are based on 
routine, calmness, kindness and completeness; all of 
which are fundamental parts of practicing TM.
