The TM technique is natural and effortless. During TM, the individual's awareness  settles down and experiences a unique state of restful alertness. 

One simply experiences the mind becoming more calm and quiet, and the body becoming more and more deeply relaxed. The mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form of awareness, transcendental consciousness.

The experience of transcendental consciousness develops the individual's latent creative potential while dissolving accumulated stress and fatigue through the deep rest gained during the practice. This experience enlivens the individual's creativity, dynamism, orderliness, and organizing power, which result in increasing effectiveness and success in daily life.

The deep rest of meditation also helps to improve emotional well-being and physical health. Over time the benefits accumulate. Scientific research has consistently shown that people who practise Transcendental Meditation regularly are healthier, happier, more intelligent and creative, have a longer life expectancy and use fewer non-prescription drugs.

Most other meditation techniques involve either concentration or visualization. Transcendental Meditation is based on allowing the mind to settle down in an easy natural way. 

If we think of the mind as an ocean, with our everyday busy thoughts being the ruffled waves on the surface, and our more relaxed, intuitive experiences as the deeper, quieter levels, then when you concentrate or visualize, your mind remains on the surface level. 

In contrast, TM can be compared to diving deep to the bottom of the ocean. Here you experience the deepest silent levels of the mind, the source of all creativity, intelligence, peace and happiness. On coming out of meditation, these qualities become infused into the surface levels. With repeated diving, more and more benefits are experienced.

The research analysed a total of 597 studies involving an estimated 20,000 subjects. It found TM to be the most effective in the areas of anxiety reduction, blood pressure reduction, physiological relaxation, self-actualization, improved psychological outcomes, and decreased use of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. 

Transcendental Meditation is unique and very simple to learn and practise. Your first step to starting TM is to contact us and we will be able to tell you when our next FREE introductory course will be held. At this informal talk, we will give a broad overview of the practice of Transcendental Meditation and will answer any questions you may have. There is no 'hard sell' and you will not be expected to make any commitments.

After the introductory sessions, the teaching takes place in four sessions on consecutive days, at a time to suit you. The first instruction session is always on a one-to-one basis where you practise TM for the first time. The following three sessions may be held in a group.

There are also optional follow-up seminars, included in the initial course fee. Individual attention is available at all times.

At the end of this course you will have all the knowledge and experience you need to continue meditating on your own at home for the rest of your life. However, if you wish, we will keep you informed of activities which include meditation checking, evening lectures, weekend courses, advanced courses.
