Overview

At the Selecta Pig Breeding Company in Suffolk, the staff down tools every afternoon, although not for the British tradition of a tea break, but for the Eastern practice of Transcendental Meditation. This form of meditation originated in India and was popularized throughout the West in the 1960s and 1970s. David Henshaw reporting for Anglia Television speaks to Selecta Manager Mark Horvath and secretarial staff who explain why they practice TM at work.
