A chiropractic and naturopathic physician with more than 30 years’ experience, Randy Meltzer, D.C., is located at 99 University Place, Suite 412, New York, NY 10003, and he can be reached by telephone at (212) 255-6710. In addition to operating his thriving practice, in which he provides numerous natural-healing techniques, Randy Meltzer, D.C., is a practitioner and teacher of Transcendental Meditation (TM).
A meditation technique developed by the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, TM involves sitting comfortably, clearing the mind, and repeating a mantra assigned by a certified teacher of the practice. If a thought arises, the practitioner should not react emotionally to it, but rather gently return to repeating the mantra. This type of meditation, which is performed twice a day for 20 minutes per session, helps practitioners transcend the normal thinking process and achieve a relaxed and peaceful state of pure consciousness.
TM has been the focus of hundreds of peer-reviewed studies performed at major research centers, including Harvard Medical School and Yale Medical School. Research has revealed that a regular TM practice can help lower stress hormones, reduce chronic pain, improve memory, regulate blood pressure, reduce depression and anxiety, and lower the risk of heart attack and stroke.
