“My teacher , Jeanne Ball, was informative and supportive. She’s a very warm and generous person. I could ask questions about technique, history and Maharishi and she always had a pleasant response . Everyone should try TM; it’s easy and peaceful . I look forward to it everyday.”
“Unbelievable, truly...life....changing......and I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks, with more great things to come. Sooooo easy to do, there's elegance in simplicity here.
I have been experiencing moderate anxiety for a good 8 years, depression before that for 6 or 7 years which I finally recovered from over time but the anxiety manifested after that and persisted.
At my first session I felt what I can only describe as a deep calm, comforting mood that lasted beyond my wildest dreams. I don't have the reactionary response like I've had for decades, all after one session. I have been doing the 20 minute practice twice a day since and overall it has been great. There have been a couple of times where it didn't work like the vast majority of the times but my instructor helped me tweak my technique to help address that.
I'm so excited so far and from what I have read and heard, this is just scratching the surface. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for my instructor, Maharishi who shared this with the world decades ago, and whatever powers to be there are in the universe that brought me to this mind-blowing. life-changing technique.
I wish for all to have access to this course, I think that we would be a much more peaceful planet.”
“This technique has drastically changed my and my family's life forever coupled with diet and exercise. I feel Dr. Cindy Kats in Orange, CA really set us up for success in her teaching. Just wish it wasnt so expensive. I know the money going to a good cause. Thank you for your good work!”
“Very much enjoying the experience. Too soon to expect "transformation," but just being quiet for 20 minutes, twice a day, is a great start. Instructor is excellent. Looking forward to more training and "diving deeper."”
“This is an organization with teachers that really care. The teaching was structured, informative and allowed for plenty of questions around the technique.”
“I think our mentor was great though I don't like the TM system. I think the price is too high. I don't like the secretiveness of the system. I am not sure it is much different from a lot of other meditative instruction. I thought the ritual was antiquated and onerous though I can see the respect that you give the founders. I found the videos redundant and onerous. I guess I am glad I now know what it is though it was overpriced and over valued as a unique system.”

“A technique that is extremely powerful but most importantly not complicated but easy to learn; results can be tangibly felt and experienced in the real world outside of the technique”
“It was an enjoyable experience that I'll cherish forever. My instructor was outstanding and very supportive. Love the app. Although Dr. Nader's vids were informative, they gave me a headache after a while. It's a lot. Two thumbs up - keep up the great work folks!”
“TM has already made a positive impact on my life and I’m less than 2 weeks in! I’m very grateful for all the help and guidance provided by my Jeff, TM instructor.”
