    It [TM] was a powerfully energizing yet calming experience. I didn’t want it to end. When it did, I walked away feeling fuller than when I started. Full of hope, a sense of contentment, and deep joy. Knowing for sure that even in the daily craziness that bombards us from every direction, there is still—the constancy of stillness. Only from that space can you create your best work and your best life.

    What is the TM Technique?

    It’s a simple, natural technique practised 20 minutes twice a day while sitting
    comfortable with the eyes closed.

    Transcendental Meditation—brought to the West in 1959 by Maharishi Mahesh
    Yogi—is an ancient technique that is easy to learn and enjoyable to practise. It’s
    not a religion, philosophy or lifestyle. Millions of people have learned
    it—people of all ages, cultures, and religions.


    What if I “can’t meditate”?

    Have you ever tried to meditate, and found you couldn’t do it because your mind is too active—or maybe the technique was uncomfortable in some way?

    It is a common experience because almost all techniques involve some kind of control or focus.

    The big difference

    This is what makes the TM technique completely different— it’s so easy and enjoyable that anyone can do it.

    • Not concentrating or focusing
    • No control of the mind
    • No mindfulness (monitoring of thoughts)
    • No trying to “empty the mind”

    How can TM be effective if it’s so easy?

    Interestingly, it’s effective because it’s completely effortless. The TM technique uses the natural tendency of the mind to automatically draw your attention inward, through quieter levels of thought, until you experience your own innermost nature—the most peaceful and silent level of your mind.

    Evidence-based results

    The TM technique’s benefits start right away and keep growing. Hundreds of independent research studies have found major increases in calmness, creativity, energy, clarity of mind, and happiness.

    Why is effort in meditation counter-productive?

    Other techniques involving control (concentration or focus) or monitoring (mindfulness) tend to keep your awareness on the surface – on the active level of your mind.

    The effort (even if small) required by such techniques impedes transcending. In other words, it prevents you from naturally experiencing the state of deep inner peacefulness.
