What independent sources say
“Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural technique … this form of meditation gives deep rest to the body and the mind experiences inner peace, without using concentration or effort.”
Mayo Clinic
“Perhaps its greatest benefit is that it is relatively quick to learn and easy to master — no weeks or months of practice before you see results.”
Forbes
“A 2009 study found that Transcendental Meditation helped reduce stress in students, while another showed it helped lower blood pressure, anxiety, depression and anger.”

About your TM teacher Paul Gelderloos
Paul teaches the Transcendental Meditation course in Amsterdam and has been a certified TM teacher since 1977. In Paul's own words:
I learned Transcendental Meditation on 1 February 1974. I was searching for the meaning of life. Three years later, in 1977, I trained as a TM teacher in Vittel.
As a clinical and research psychologist I have worked in the Netherlands and in the United States. In 1987 I received my doctorate for research on Transcendental Meditation. My 25 scientific publications, including research on TM for addiction and high blood pressure, are listed on ORCID. In 1992 I founded the telecom company Scarlet. That background shapes how I teach: I stick to what has been measured and leave out the rest.
I have been teaching in Amsterdam for eight years, in a city where TM has been taught for sixty years. In total I have taught the TM technique to more than 5,000 people, in India, Russia, Thailand and the Netherlands. People come to me with stress, with poor sleep, or because they are looking for a meditation technique that really works. I teach the course in Dutch and in English. I also chair Stichting Maharishi Vedisch Instituut, the organisation behind TM in the Netherlands.
