The objective of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility, and effects of the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique in adults with migraines. This study will involve 30 male and female participants recruited from migraine treatment facilities and migraine support groups in the US. The study will span three months, with all participants practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) while continuing their usual lifestyle and medication regimen. Pre-data will be collected through symptom analysis, headache patterns, and evaluation questionnaires. All potential subjects will use a migraine App for 30 days prior to inclusion in the study, both as a means of assessing migraine status and of ability to adhere to study protocols during the study. In addition, all subjects will take the PHQ-9 to screen for levels of depression that might impair participation in the study. All the subjects will receive TM instruction, followed by bi-weekly
