After training period they practiced TM every day 20 minutes for 6 weeks. Anxiety score was measured by using clinical anxiety scale (C.A.S.) as given by R.P.Sainath et al [1] before and after the TM session in each volunteer. Comparison of anxiety score before and after the TM was done by statistical analysis. Anxiety score reduction was found significantly in females as compared to males who practiced TM.
