“I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor in Renee. She was kind and patient and was able to explain TM to me so that I could immediately reap the benefits.”
“It is so simple, so different from other forms of meditation that I have tried. There is no pressure and it is the easiest thing in the world to do. I find myself looking forward to my twice daily meditation sessions. I am so glad I took this course and am living now with this practice.”
“I absolutely believe in the concept and plan on continuing. I would have found it helpful if the courses were much more succinct, though. Without so much repetition, I think they would have had much more impact.”
“A very effective way to get out of your head and reconnect with Self. I struggled with anxiety and insomnia; meditation has helped me tremendously in a short period of time. I am very grateful for every meditation whatever may be. How beautiful to experience something this profound based on an "easy, effortless, natural, non-judgmental, expectation-free" paradigm.”
“I found the training a little disappointing for the price. I didn't like that took 4 days in a row to review the same stuff. I'm sure the purpose is to create a routine for people. I'm not sure it is really going to work for me.”
Hi Kim,
We're sorry you're feeling disappointed in your TM course!!
We appreciate your concern around the repetition. Every aspect of the course was designed intentionally by our founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to ensure that anyone, no matter their learning style, can learn to practice correctly and therefore gain the maximum benefits.
With over 60 years of teaching the TM technique worldwide, we've seen time and time again how important a follow-up session can be. Often the benefits are noticeable right away, but occasionally it can take some time. We encourage you to seek a free, personal follow-up session with your TM teacher to discuss your experience and clarify any lingering questions you may have, especially if you continue to feel like it's not going to work for you. You can also reach out to our TM teachers at tmsupport@tm.org at any time as well.
“All along I thought I understood how I could master my reality, and TM was just one more technique I'd need to round out the bases of my awareness. But through TM I've entered a new state altogether in which I realize I never left the playing field, still trapped in mundanity. I'm only now going through the process of surrender to allow the unfolding of TM to rise up to greet me. As a beginner The TM technique not only showed me a window but helped me open it so I could move out of the game, now free to explore the Universe...stay tuned because Life is TBD: to be discovered!”
“My instructor was amazing. Meditating twice a day without critiquing myself. I just take it as it comes. There’s no pressure. I believe it is helping me to calm down.”
