Transcendental Meditation

Transcendental Meditation, known as TM, is a simple solution to your search for inner peace, reduced stress and anxiety, better work–life balance, and greater energy and clarity of mind.

TM is a natural, effortless technique practised for 15–20 minutes twice a day sitting comfortably with your eyes closed.

During TM your mind settles down to quieter levels of thought and transcends thought to experience a unique state of restful alertness. This deep rest is rejuvenating to your mind, body and heart, and enhances your creativity, energy, and inner calm.

The TM technique is easy to learn and enjoyable to practice.

TM can be learnt by people of all ages, cultures and religions, and is not a philosophy or lifestyle, but simply the best self development technique to allow you to gain more of life.

What happens when you meditate?

The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, through quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness — pure consciousness.

How would I ever get my mind to quieten down!?

Transcendental Meditation is enjoyableNo problem. TM automatically and effortlessly allows your active thinking mind to settle down to a state of deep inner calm. This quiet level is within each of us, just with our busy and ‘outward’ lifestyles we’ve lost awareness of it – with TM we can naturally access and enjoy this silent and fulfilling pure consciousness.

Unlike other forms of meditation, TM practice involves no concentration, no control of the mind, no contemplation, no monitoring of thoughts.

Anyone can do it — even children with ADHD and soldiers and others with PTSD.

Can I learn TM from a book or video?

Imagine trying to learn a natural golf swing or the violin. You know how valuable it is for a good teacher to show you the proper technique.

The TM technique is easy to learn, but requires personalized interactive guidance. For this reason, it’s taught only through one-on-one instruction by a qualified TM teacher.

There is no other way to learn the authentic TM technique — and there is no evidence that anything else provides the full range of benefits documented in the published research on the TM technique. To find out more about learning TM go to Courses
