“I find the teacher, Deirdre Meehan very good, professional and helpful. Concerned and inspiring. Looking forward to becoming calmer and more positive as time goes by.”
“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.”
Hi Tresa,
We're sorry you're not enjoying your TM practice fully!
A reminder that having completed the TM course you can schedule free, personal follow-ups with your TM teacher any time, to discuss your experience and fine-tune your practice (if needed) so that your mediations are effortless, enjoyable and you are gaining the maximum benefits :)
“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 :)
“The four beginner classes were very informative and I learned many interesting things. It is a much easier way of meditating from what I have learned in the past. I have seen favorable results already iiand it has only been one week since beginning! Of course, I would have preferred no masks and some hugs or at least handshakes, but the facility followed the Covid-19 restrictions perfectly. Very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you.”
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 :)
“Was very pleased with my training at the Encinitas TM location. John did a fantastic job of making the points easily understandable & answered our questions fully when they arose.”
“This technique has the potential to transform your life in all the ways you would want to be transformed. All you have to do is just say "Yes" to what is has to offer.”
