“I am practicing the technique daily it is getting easier I still need to be consistent with two meditations a day
I feel really relaxed and centered after Each session
So far so good :)”
“Overall I really like the method. Perhaps what I am underwhelmed by is the instruction and the answering of some of the common questions that come up relating to some of the initial challenges. They seemed to be more “brushed off” than addressed as common and importantly providing ideas to help improve the experience.
It is no simple or effortless in the beginning and there are many questions that arise about whtlether or not the technique is proper.
The explanations were left to the old videos of Maharaji who’s explanations are extremely difficult to comprehend.”
We're sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience during your TM course! If you'd like, you are welcome to schedule a free, one-to-one follow-up with your TM teacher (or any TM teacher in the United States) to discuss your experience practicing the TM technique and have any of your questions answered more directly :)
“I am about a month in to my TM practice and I’ve noticed a lot of gains. Years of chronic stress, life long anxiety and generally burning the candle at both ends have set the stage for chronic fatigue. The fatigue has not been eliminated but I have noticed an increase in energy, especially after my afternoon/evening practice.
I have always found it hard to shut my mind down and was challenged by other meditation practices in trying to clear my head out. With TM, I don’t have to stress about the fact that my mind is not not distracted. I think because I accept that whatever comes up during my meditation is what I need to be working on releasing (outside of TM), it has ultimately lifted some of the heaviness that I walk around with.
TM has also reinvigorated my desire to have a calm home environment. Pairing TM and Marie Kondo is a winning combination.
I had thought about signing up for TM for several years but I’m glad I finally did it. I am looking forward to what the months and years to follow will be like with TM as my foundation.”
“The TM Techique is very easy to learn and use. I've experienced small benefits in the first two months of meditating such as increased focus, mental clarity and less anxiety in my daily life.”
“I took the TM courses a little over two weeks ago and just after having moved to a new location for my job. My wife is remaining at our home due to her job. I really feel that my TM practice has helped to alleviate a significant amount of the stress, disorientation and depression that I would otherwise be subject to in this circumstance. I also experience more focus, clarity and acceptance of myself, others and situations daily. I so look forward to the deep calm of my meditations.”
“I am extremely grateful for TM and the people that took the time to teach me this technique. I clearly have experienced a difference at home and at work - being less reactive has made both places more peaceful.”
“I’ve meditated on and off for nearly 20 years but never found the discipline and consistency I’ve needed to truly impact my life. Almost immediately I felt the positive effects of TM and in a matter of a week the impacts on my life were apparent to me and my family. TM is now an integral part of my daily rhythm.”
