“My husband and I learned together -- our teachers were tremendous. I am still learning how to fit it into my changing schedule, but find it very worthwhile when I can. The calmness I feel after I meditate is wonderful.”
“I continue my practice of transcendental meditation. I feel as if it may have benefits. At times I felt a combative attitude from one of the teachers which seemed odd coming from someone who is teaching a method of calmness.
I also couldn’t help but feel as if it is a religion complete with its own messiah. That aspect of it was off putting”
“find it easier and easier to incorporate into my day and easier to relax in it. Have so far not noticed any effects in my life/relationships from TM.”
“It would be nice to have more than four meetings for the price that I paid. Maybe the long-term effects will justify it. It's just a struggle with all the thoughts to maintain what I think I was taught. It's probably too early for me to comment. I will start going to some of the support of groups and see if that changes my feedback/comments.”
“Thank you very much for guiding me into this world!!. it is working great or me but I feel i had to practice regularly and fine tune it. Hoping the follow up meetups and additional courses that i plan to enroll after few months would certainly help.
Wish i had done this a few years, or many years earlier :) a BIG THANK YOU!!.”
“Sitting down to meditate is the hardest part! Once i sit down and close my eyes it is so easy from there. I have only been meditating for one week and am noticing more energy, more clarity and I'm more productive in my person and professional life.”
“Not sure I fully understand why/how TM is appreciably more effective than any other meditation technique that focuses on one thing like breathing, counting, a simple mantra, being aware of but not engaging in thoughts as they rise and returning to the subject of the focus. Yet TM instruction/program comes with a significant cost. Rated TM as "good" because I believe the generally meditation technique is sound and the instructor herself is very good.”
“Simple, makes sense, and I see an immediate effect. (As one example, I have much better concentration. I tore through an entire book this past weekend at breakneck speed.)”
“It’s really much too early to evaluate TM. Personally, I feel that a lot more practice will make my TM much more effective. I expect to get much better at it.”
