One of the first organizations to bring transcendental meditation to schools is Holistic Me.The relaxation technique is performed by sitting quietly and comfortable every day for 20 minutes with closed eyes.

Numerous studies have proved that this helps reduce anxiety and stress resulting in improved learning ability. Piloted by Windsor Hills Elementary School in 2002, the Holistic Me program is currently gaining recognition for the positive effects it is having at Robert W. Coleman Elementary School in urban Maryland.
