It can only be taught by certified Transcendental Meditation teachers in a course carefully personalized for each individual.
TM is different from other meditation techniques. There is no evidence that other techniques provide the same benefits as TM.
Hundreds of published research studies on the TM technique documented major benefits for stress, anxiety, brain function, cardiovascular health and more.
The TM technique is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. No belief or expectation is needed for it to be effective.
The TM technique is taught by non-profit organizations registered in each country, under the guidance of Maharishi Foundation Ltd.
"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."

"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
"I'm a great supporter of Transcendental Meditation. I've been using it for almost 40 years now - and I think it's a great tool for anyone to have, to be able to utilize as a tool for stress. Stress, of course, comes with almost every business. I think there are enough studies out there that show that TM is something that could benefit anybody. It's a great system to use. Otherwise, why would I have been doing it for all these years, almost half my life?"
