Short answer: no.

As with learning a musical instrument or a sport, personal guidance makes all the difference. You learn not only what you are doing, but above all how it works for you. That requires coordination, feedback and experience.

Transcendental Meditation is therefore always taught through personal instruction from a certified TM teacher. This makes learning easy, correct and sustainable in your daily life.

There is no other way to learn the authentic TM technique.
And to date, no research has shown that books, videos or alternatives produce the same effects as personally taught TM practice.

The TM technique enables your mind to transcend naturally, or to easily go within, to quieter and quieter levels of thinking, until you experience the quietest and most peaceful level of your own consciousness.

No problem at all. Unlike other forms of meditation, the TM technique does not involve concentration, control of the mind, contemplation or monitoring of thoughts. It is completely effortless.

The effectiveness of the TM technique is the same whether you believe it will work or are completely sceptical. This is because it automatically and effortlessly enables your active mind to reach a state of deep inner peace.

For this amount, you not only receive the course, but also lifelong personal guidance and participation in group meditations.

Session 1 – personalised instruction
On the first day, you will learn the basics of the TM technique and meditate for the first time. Then you will discuss your experience with your teacher, who will help you evaluate and refine the technique.

Sessions 2 to 4 – face-to-face or online classes
Each session includes meditation with your teacher, supplemented by additional explanations, discussions and comments. You will gain a clear understanding of what is important in the practice and how you can easily integrate TM into your daily life.

Topics covered include: how to know if you are meditating correctly, how the TM technique works, what the different experiences mean, and what you can expect from regular practice.

In order to provide each participant with proper guidance, Transcendental Meditation is taught exclusively by certified TM teachers. Your teacher will guide you through the entire learning process and will remain available for support afterwards.

This personalised and attentive support provides you with a solid foundation that will allow you to enjoy the benefits you have acquired for the rest of your life.
