“Seems easy enough but maybe I’m too stupid to get the potential of what it is”

It sounds like you're feeling disappointed in your TM practice and we're sorry for that! 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 :)

“It would have been better if everything was in person like it normally is instead of at home because of covid. It is hard for me to get into watching all the lessons on the app on my phone. It would have been easier if I could have watched it on my tablet or laptop.”

“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.”

“Although I’m happy to have learned the technique, I don’t believe I received $1000 worth of instruction listening to a PAINFULLY repetitive app for 3 days and doing 10 minute Zoom meditations with my teacher. I felt like everything could have been condensed to an hour or two max. of learning. The high price of the program and all the secrecy comes off as a bit cultish.”

Hi Joel, We're sorry you're disappointed in the value of your TM course! We wanted to remind you that the course fee not only includes instruction but a lifetime of free support. Your TM teacher will be happy to hear from you any time you'd like to discuss your experiences, or fine-tune your practice if you're not finding it effortless and enjoyable, or seeing the benefits in your daily life. And, as things reopen we'll also be able to offer group mediations and meetings at our TM centers again, which you'll also have unlimited free access to :)

“I couldn’t meditate as good as my friend has because the mantra assigned to me had a meaning in my native language so in general it wasn’t as good as expected. However in general I still recommend it.”

“The meditation timer has crashed on my app and will not reset, even after choosing yes to end meditation. It continually spins. Restarting my phone only sometimes fixes it.”

“I've been meditating for just short of two weeks. I feel it's not as easy as was described. It's hard for me to sit down in the afternoon and relax. I'm committed to continuing the practice as stress reduction and higher consciousness is my goal. So far its still a struggle.”

“The teaching and practice were great, but I don't understand why we weren't allowed to take pictures or notes of the white board for later reference. Also, I asked why we should avoid hallucinogenic drugs before TM and was told that it's because cannabis clouds the brain. Cannabis is not a hallucinogenic. I also feel that the income based pricing is not proportionate to the income brackets. People who make the most money are paying way less compared to their income than people who make less money. I do understand the value in the practice, and would pay what I paid again knowing what I know now, but it still seems that pricing is not really based on income in a set way.”

Hi Zack, We're happy to hear you are enjoying your TM practice! Regarding the course materials, it's important those are kept private to avoid people mistaking certain aspects of the practice for the technique as a whole. We invite you to schedule a free follow-up call with your TM teacher who will be happy to discuss your concerns around cannabis and our sliding-scale course fees in more detail than we have space to here :)

Hi Ann, As you know having taken the TM course, the TM technique is very simple and easy to practice. However, it's also very nuanced, which is why this specific meditation is taught in person by certified TM teachers (not online or in books). Our founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, carefully designed the TM course to be an interactive experience to ensure each student is practicing correctly. It might feel overly simple and repetitive to some but is essential in practicing the technique correctly and gaining maximum benefits :)

“The technique is definitely superior to other techniques I have tried and I am very happy to have learned it, however the cost of the course is disproportionate to the instruction received. I feel strongly that I overpaid. Furthermore, the fact that the training is stretched out over 4 days is absurd. This course could be completed in a 3-hour classroom session with 1 follow up phone call.”
