Summary

This study will test whether a 12-week Transcendental Meditation (TM) program can improve stress, mood, and blood pressure in post-menopausal women at risk for hypertension. Sixty women aged 50-80 with mildly elevated blood pressure and stress will be randomly assigned to TM or a Women's Health Education group. The goal is to see if TM is a feasible and promising non-drug approach to prevent hypertension.
