Over ten million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learnt TM. Anyone can learn! "It settles me, gives my brain a bit of space from itself ..." Daisy Lowe says TM changed her life What happens when you meditate? The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness. It differs completely from other meditations as it does not involve concentrating, or trying to empty the mind or be in the present - it is completely natural. "Transcendental Meditation gives me an island of calm in the midst of so much turbulence" Sir Paul McCartney What is TM's value in daily life? Stress and anxiety are harmful to health, happiness, creativity and productivity. Hundreds of published research studies on TM verify its effectiveness for reducing stress, improving focus and clarity of mind, strengthening immunity and much more. REDUCED ANXIETY & DEPRESSION LOWER RISK OF HEART ATTACK & STROKE MORE ENERGY INCREASED BRAIN FUNCTION & CREATIVITY REDUCED INSOMNIA GREATER RESILIENCE TO STRESS "Life finds its purpose and fulfilment in the expansion of happiness" Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Founder of Transcendental Meditation Common Questions 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 certified 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. What happens during TM? + 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. What if I'm not good at controlling my mind? + No problem at all. Unlike other forms of meditation, TM practice involves no concentration, no control of the mind, no contemplation, no monitoring of thoughts. It is completely effortless. What if I'm sceptical? + The TM technique's effectiveness is the same whether you believe it will work or are completely sceptical. That's because it automatically and effortlessly allows your active thinking mind to settle down to a state of deep inner calm.
