We believe Transcendental Meditation (TM) is an essential addition to every woman’s daily routine. TM is a technique to find stillness and strength within. It empowers us to live our full potential, to be a guiding light to our family, our community, and our world.
There are many meditations practised in the world today, as people are more awake to the understanding that hidden within us is a great, untouched treasury of human potential. More than ever before, people have a desire to tap into that potential and expand their awareness, to create a more conscious, purposeful, and fulfilled life.
Most meditations aim to expand the conscious capacity of our mind through effort, focus, or control and are therefore difficult to practise and maintain. But TM, being natural, is an easy and effortless technique that spontaneously expands and develops our consciousness to its fullest potential, simply because the practice of TM is based upon a fundamental principle that the mind is naturally drawn to areas of greater happiness. As a result, one spontaneously experiences the benefits of TM right from the start and the results increase over time.

During TM, as our awareness settles down to areas of greater charm, our mind becomes silent and in that silence, our consciousness expands. This silence of the mind is felt by the body, and we experience deep physical relaxation. The profound mental and physical rest gained through TM allows stresses to dissolve, resulting in clarity of mind, inner calm and peace. Women experience that this inner calm is reflected in their outer lives, where they remain relaxed and focused, even in the midst of their fast-paced lives.
Through the relief from stress that TM brings, creativity blossoms and we feel a sense of balance, well-being, and happiness. Old habits are replaced by a healthier lifestyle. Even symptoms of hard-to-fix problems such as ADHD, depression, chronic anxiety, and PTSD are significantly relieved through the practice of TM When we rest, we re-charge. We see more. We feel more.
As women, we often take on so much that we neglect to take care of ourselves. Our family, friends, and colleagues know when we are tired and can feel our stress, just from being around us. When we take the time to nurture our mind and body by developing our consciousness to its infinite potential and releasing deeply-rooted stresses, then we can give our best to our loved ones and community.
First, tend to ourselves, then tend to others. TM gives us deep rest and simultaneously expands our consciousness. We understand more, we discover surprising creative solutions and make the right decisions for success in life. Contact a TM teacher in your area to learn about the many benefits of TM and how they can improve your life.
Our ability to appreciate life to its fullest depends upon the alertness of our mind, the restedness of our body, and the depth of our ability to feel. When we enjoy a beautiful sunset, experience the roar of a rushing waterfall, or cradle a precious newborn baby, our enjoyment is greater when our hearts and minds are expanded and free from worry or stress.
We know from our experience that when we are tired, anxious, or depressed, our behaviour is often unproductive or negative and life just does not seem to go our way. Our mind feels cramped and we may find ourselves saying things to family and friends that we regret. In contrast, after a good night’s sleep, we wake up feeling rested and fresh. Our awareness, or consciousness, feels clear and unrestricted and there seems to be more flow and less resistance to our day.
As women, we want to have an alert and broadened awareness and a full and happy heart on a regular basis, not just once in a while, after a rare good night’s sleep. When our consciousness is effortlessly enlivened through the twice-daily practice of TM, we think better, make better decisions, and are more efficient and successful. When problems
arise, we don’t feel overwhelmed by them; we are less reactive and are able to navigate our emotions and our life situations more easily and with joy. Each day’s success builds upon the success of the day before and we find that a sense of achievement and fulfilment becomes a constant in our lives.
When we practise TM, all parts of our lives improve: mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. We see a wider range of possibilities. We understand more, discover surprising, creative solutions, and make the right decisions for our success in life. The profound rest experienced during TM revitalizes our body by releasing stored-up stress, anxiety, and negativity, so that we feel more rested and resilient throughout the day. Through TM, we restore balance to our days and enjoy the fulfilment of a rich and satisfying life.
The unrelenting pressure of work and family can cause significant mental and physical stress. TM is proven to significantly reduce all forms of stress.
