Practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) for 20 minutes daily over 6 weeks reduces anxiety, with a significantly greater reduction in females than in males. The study measured anxiety scores in 75 volunteers aged 20–40 years (37 males, 38 females) before and after the TM period using the Clinical Anxiety Scale. Statistical comparison showed a greater decrease in anxiety among women.
