“I have tried so many forms of meditation and this is the one I have found to be the least painful and most satisfying thus far. I don't dread doing it or constantly fear that I'm doing it wrong. Instead, I look forward to it each day. The only struggle I have found upon occasion is fitting it in with my erratic schedule.”
“It has been easy, as they say, but not simple. I really like my instructor, as well as her way of introducing me to this wonderful practice. I look forward to getting more experienced in letting my mind find it’s way to transcendence.”
“I really enjoy the simplicity, ease, and lack of expectations from this meditation, which means I am much more likely to stay consistent and gain the advantages of meditating.
TM has been a rewarding experience in providing a sense of calm clarity in my day and I'm certain continued practice will lead to a better life.”
Hi Heather,
We're sorry to hear you're struggling with your TM practice! You are right in contacting your TM teacher about your experience as this meditation is meant to be easy and enjoyable.
It's likely unintentional that you have not received a response to your text. We'd be happy to help connect you with your teacher if you still haven't heard back. Please let us know :)
“Though I am new to the practice of TM, I absolutely love it. It’s very simple yet, for me, very effective. Bottom line, I feel less stress, more grounded, and more creative.
As a musician, the creativity is super important. I am also much better equipped to effectively deal with the everyday issues that come up in our busy world.
My instructor was brilliant. I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her. I don’t know any words that adiquitly express my gratitude.
Things are always working out for me. Awe and wonder are wonderful vibrational states to dwell in.”
“So far my experience hasn’t been that great. Three times while meditating I have thought about some trauma and started crying. I ended the sessions feeling depressed, not calm.”
We're sorry to hear you're having uncomfortable experiences during your meditations! We recommend contacting your TM teachers for a free follow-up to discuss them. They'll be able to provide some clarity, and help fine tune your practice so your experience is more enjoyable.
“Transcendental meditation has drastically changed my life, and I’ve only been practicing for a few weeks. I have been able to discontinue one of my medications (it was for severe anxiety) and dramatically reduce another (for focus). I was able to focus for my final exam for college. I’m so glad I found TM because it’s really beneficial to me.”
