   The TM theory takes a slightly different tack: when one meditates, one   
   gains rest. This rest allows repair/normalization mechanisms to become   
   more active. This repair-activity is reflected in the mind as some kind   
   of mental activity related in some way to the original stress that   
   caused the original damage to the nervous system. The the deeper the   
   level of rest gained during meditation, the more profound the stresses   
   that are repaired and hence, the mental activity is potentially more   
   intense.
