What does a local university student have in common with Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern and David Lynch? The comedian, shock jock radio personality and filmmaker all practise transcendental meditation, which Carleton University student Espoir Manirambona began practising daily in June.“I just really enjoy the inner silence that it brings,” Manirambona said.
“I've been going through a pretty busy time at school and it feels like I can just handle the stress a lot better.”

The need
The alarming rise of classroom stress fuels widespread problems in education, including poor academic achievement, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, bullying, school violence, and teacher burnout.
To overcome these problems, any successful educational reform effort must include the knowledge and methodologies to dissolve stress and awaken each student’s full potential.
