There is no other way to learn the authentic TM technique—and there is no evidence that anything else provides the full range of benefits documented in the published research on TM.

The TM technique allows your mind to naturally transcend, or easily turn inward, to increasingly quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own consciousness.

Not a problem at all. Unlike other forms of meditation, the TM technique does not require 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 skeptical. This is because it automatically and effortlessly allows your active, thinking mind to settle into a state of deep inner rest.

In mindfulness meditation, you observe your thoughts, feelings, breathing, and bodily sensations without judgment. This keeps your mind actively engaged at the level of thinking, as with many other forms of meditation.

What we often don’t realize is that beneath the active surface, the mind already has a deep level of rest, similar to the quiet depth of the ocean beneath the waves. The Transcendental Meditation technique facilitates transcending—the effortless opening of our awareness to this deeper, peaceful level of the mind.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whose life’s work was devoted to reviving and demystifying the timeless knowledge of meditation, as well as verifying its effectiveness through the lens of modern science, began teaching Transcendental Meditation in the 1950s.

After refining and systematizing the teaching of TM, Maharishi launched a movement to make the technique accessible worldwide. He trained thousands of teachers and established a non-profit foundation to ensure the authenticity of the TM technique for future generations.
