Well now there's a school in Detroit that's helping students deal with the stress in a unique way. Here is NBC's Kevin Tibbles.
The boisterous kids at Detroit's Nataki Taliba School are really no different than any other. Except perhaps for 10 minutes twice a day when all they hear is silence. These students aren't napping they're meditating.
Transcendental Meditation was brought to the West 40 years ago by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and made popular by the Beatles in the late sixties. Today it is used in this school as a stress buster.
Jane Pitt (Nataki ™ Coordinator): It (Transcendental Meditation) is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it's not a way of life, it's simply a mental technique. It allows the system, the mind and the body to settle down and gain very, very deep rest.
Kevin Tibbles: According to these kids it helps...
Student: I have a tendency to dwell on things that happened in the past but when I meditate it helps me let them go.
Student 2: I pay attention better now.
Student 3: After Transcendental Meditation I feel great!
Kevin Tibbles: When we think of packing our kids off to school these days we often worry about the problems; high stress, substance abuse, even violence, things that threaten a child's education. But can ten minutes of quiet time really make a difference? The research says yes. The University of Michigan followed 140 of the schools 10 to 14 year olds.
Rita Benn Ph.D. (University of Michigan Researcher): They felt more connected, they felt happier, satisfied, peaceful and calm.
Student 4: I used to get angry a lot but now it's like I'm calming down.
Kevin Tibbles: And studies show that meditating kids actually do better than kids who don't.
Student 5: My grade point averages went up a lot. From a 3.4 to a 3.8.
Student 6: Now I'm doing much better - I've evolved.

Meditation reduces risk of heart attack and Stroke--American Heart Association Study
The most prestigious meditation study to date done by the American Heart Association shows that regular meditation twice a day was correlated with a 48% reduced rate of heart attack and stroke immediately. Blood pressure was reduced and anger decreased significantly among the meditation group. They also showed a trend towards reduced smoking.
"It appears that Transcendental Meditation is a technique that turns on the body’s own pharmacy – to repair and maintain itself." said lead researcher Dr Robert Schneider, director of the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention in Iowa. Dr Schneider added: "Transcendental Meditation may reduce heart disease risks for both healthy people and those with diagnosed heart conditions."
"The research on Transcendental Meditation and cardiovascular disease is established well enough that doctors may safely and routinely prescribe stress reduction for their patients with this easy to implement, standardised and practical programme."
The study was funded by the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Studies on the effects of mediation have been done countless times, but this is by far the most prestigious and recognized study to date, proving that simply meditating 20 minutes twice a day can cut your chances of sudden death, heart attack, and stroke in half immediately. What man-mad pill can do that?
Meditation music that matches the vibrational frequency in Hertz (sound waves) with the vibrational frequency of the colour of the chakra in TeraHertz (light waves). In other words, the sound and tones of the colour of the chakra is played to stimulate that energy system during meditation to promote spiritual and physical health.
