  Try reading The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson. Benson was/is Assoc-
iate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and  Director of the
Hypertension Section of Boston's Beth Israel Hospital( at least that's what
the book jacket says.)
  Benson had wanted to find out what happens when a person practices TM. He
studied a group of meditators and the book lays out what he found including a
method that does the same thing as he says TM does.
