TM is an easy, effortless technique for creating a brighter, more positive state of mind and a healthier, stress free body. Hundreds of published research studies have found that TM is highly effective in reducing anxiety, improving brain function, and enhancing heart health.
Unlike many forms of meditation taught today, TM is profoundly simple and effortless. You don't need to concentrate or control the mind. This isn't mindfulness, where you have to monitor your thoughts or "empty" your mind. The TM program is so easy, even children with or without ADHD can learn to meditate.
We're not making these claims without proof. Over 600 published scientific research studies on the TM technique have documented its effectiveness on stress and anxiety, brain function, cardiovascular health, and many more indicators of lifestyle improvements through TM. What's more, we guarantee that it will work for you.
The Transcendental Meditation technique can only be taught by certified teachers in a course carefully personalized for each individual. All certified teachers of the technique have successfully completed an intensive, 5-month in-residence Teacher Training Course, and they maintain their certification through ongoing professional courses. If you learn meditation from anyone who’s not a certified teacher of the TM technique, you’re not learning the authentic Transcendental Meditation method.
Your first step is to contact a certified teacher of Transcendental Meditation™ and arrange an introductory talk. After that, if you want to proceed, the actual TM technique is taught in 90-minute sessions on four consecutive days. It can be learned only through personalized one-on-one instruction from a certified Teacher of the TM Technique who will work with your individual needs and schedule.
"I was introduced to Transcendental Meditation at a time of tremendous stress and pressure while working in a radio news room. Each time I felt stressed, I took a break to meditate. The result was instant relief and calm. I discovered that a calm mind facilitated greater focus and concentration and was perfect for learning, so I excelled in my studies and topped a class related to my work."
Julian Morris News Journalist, Marpin 2K4 TV

Paul McCartney Musician
"It was a powerfully energizing yet calming experience. I didn't want it to end. I walked away feeling fuller than when I started. Full of hope, a sense of contentment, and deep joy, knowing for sure that even in the daily craziness that bombards us from every direction, there is still the constancy of stillness."
Oprah Winfrey Television Host, Celebrity
"Every day when everybody would have lunch, I would do TM, and then I would eat while I was working because I had missed lunch. But that's how I survived the nine years [of Seinfeld]; it was just that 20 minutes in the middle of the day that would save me."
Jerry Seinfeld Comedian
