“Well meditation works, but I don't think anyone should spend hundreds of dollars to learn to repeat one word over and over again.”

“I think it’s personal and likely effects each person differently. I have had small success but am not happy overall as I am not seeing any lasting effects. Also the devotion to 20 min 2x daily has increased my anxiety as it is not always possible to do and then I feel guilt about not meeting the expectations. Something for me to work on personally, but I wish the practice itself didn’t have to be so regimented.”

Hi Cinda, We're sorry you're not happy with your TM practice! We wanted to remind you, there is no pressure to meditate 20 min, twice a day. That is the recommended daily routine to experience the maximum results . However, if it is difficult for you to fit two practices each day, it's ok to meditate once a day, and work up to fitting in two if you'd like to. We strongly encourage you to schedule a free, personal follow-up with your TM teacher. They'll be happy to further support you :) You can also reach out to us at tmsupport@tm.org!

“I have not seen even a minor benefit to practicing tm for the past two weeks. I will, however continue to practice until I speak with my teacher during my first follow up on 8/31.”

Hi Jeffrey, We're sorry you're not experiencing any benefits of your TM practice! 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. It's great you'll be meeting with your TM teacher soon. You can discuss your experience and they can fine-tune your practice if needed! A reminder that you can schedule free, personal follow-ups on an unlimited basis! And you can also connect with us at tmsupport@tm.org

“I was a skeptic but no matter how hard my mind tried to fight me on the whole idea that this would work, it’s starting to work. I’ve only been doing it for a little over a week and I was in the worst mental state ever at my first session. Negative thinking is a habit and I am at a point where I feel like my negative thoughts want to pull me back but there’s something else pulling me in the other direction telling and not allowing me to fully listen to the negative thinking. It’s a great feeling. I used to wake up trembling on the inside with fear of just everything. If less than 2 weeks has made this drastic of a change, can you imagine a few more month, years, decades! I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel. My teacher Michael B. Responded quickly when I went the first email requesting information. And he has been so patient with me through the initial 4 meetings when you start. I would cry at every one in fear that this would not work for me. I can’t even imagine that amazing life I have waiting for me and I’m open to receive it all!! I finally found something to look forward to and that will change my life!!”

We're sorry to hear you're disappointed in your TM course! Every aspect of the course was designed intentionally by our founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to ensure that anyone, no matter their learning style, can learn to practice correctly. It might feel repetitive to some but learning to practice the technique correctly is essential for getting the maximum benefits. As for the lack of follow-ups, we're sorry you haven't been contacted by your TM teacher! Having completed the TM course you have access to free follow-ups on an unlimited basis now. You can contact your TM teacher any time to schedule a time to discuss your experiences and fine-tune your practice if needed. Or feel free to connect with a different teacher by reaching out to tmsupport@tm.org.

“I'm very glad I decided to take the TM course and to have been taught by June Humphreys. The Chicago TM Center, under the tutelage of June and David Humphreys, is impressive in many ways. They are super-experienced teachers, as well as kind and fun human beings. As for TM itself? It's everything I hoped for in a daily meditation practice.”

“I wish I could give a million stars! Life changing! What a gift I’ve been given! I’ve passed this gift to my 12 year old son. I’ve experienced so much peace, calmness and just overall happiness since I’ve started. Life is just getting better and better everyday.”

“I have been in the program about 3 weeks. When tested for PTSD a few months ago, I scored nearly off the chart. I have an extremely stressful job. I dreamed about work all night, every night (when I could sleep, which is only with heavy medication). Even with the meds, I was getting about 3 hours' sleep each night. Almost immediately after practicing the technique, I began to sleep 5 hours per night and my dreams about work have stopped. This is a miraculous gift to me, and I can't wait to see what continued practice will bring.”

“TM has been fantastic for me! One week into practicing, I feel more relaxed most moments, more creative, more joyous. I am looking forward to more neurological benefits with continued practice.”

“Amazing. So many issues I've been chasing in the MD's office seem to literally dissolve in my first week of TM. Work has been more productive and generally feeling calmer. I'm in for life!”

“It's a very useful meditation technique but, to be entirely honest, I don't think the price is justified. I felt I paid all that money for a word and an hour's worth of useful information. The instruction provided on days 2-4 didn't add a lot of value to my experience. I felt it was too unstructured, there was very little interaction fostered among attendees, and the instructors didn't have a lot of useful information to convey. I'll continue to use TM but if they want to charge that kind of fee, then they need to seriously revamp their coursework and find instructors who can better relate to newcomers. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to the class for many months.”
