Teaching is very good as is the app used for follow up. I've gotten quite a bit out of the practice and am very happy I finally decided to check TM out. I came from a mindfulness meditation background... See more

I absolutely love TM

I absolutely love TM! I feel so relaxed and grounded in a way I never thought possible. It’s surprising that I can experience such a depth of relaxation beyond sleep.

TM is so simple yet so profound that everyone can do it. It is my go to anchor daily.

I am very impressed as the systematic and precise learning protocol. I also feel great relief in having resources on the app that help me understand that I am meditating correctly and also how to resolve problem situations. I am very happy with the support and follow up.

My teacher was the best part of the experience. Nancy was very encouraging and supportive and I really appreciated her. The meditation itself was underwhelming for me but I had high hopes given the information that was presented to me. I don't feel like im accessing a deeper level and its hard to believe that the thoughts are a stress release when they are the exact same thoughts I would be having if I werent trying to meditate, which vause me stress but Ive been assured they are so Im trusting the process. Also, I dont feel or notice any changes in myself- i.e. more relaxed, more energy, calmer demeanor, etc- or in my life, relationships, etc., but I press on anyway. I think the fact that I strongly dislike my mantra doesnt help. I find it shrill and grating to my nerves but ive been assured that it is the one for me, however it doesn't make it easy to want to sit with it. The course information was interesting but by module 5 it felt repetitive and difficult to remain present with the information, it felt like a chore to try and get through it. Im going to keep up the meditation but if im being totally honest, as of yet i dont see how this method justified a nearly 1k price tag. Hoping things will start to shift soon 🤞

Thank you David!

I found out about TM through my love for David Lynch. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my local teacher is also named David. I had a wonderful experience learning the TM technique with him. It has been about 30 days and I have already noticed improvements in my mood, energy, and my engagement with others. I look forward to experiencing further growth!

I had a fantastic learning experience with Jim. You can tell how passionate he is about TM, because it’s had a significant, positive effect on his life.
He was very thorough with his teaching and has been extremely helpful as I begin a new chapter in my life with TM.
I have already begun to feel the positive effects of using TM twice a day. I’m hopeful and optimistic that I will continue to feel better, feel less anxious and be more present on a daily basis with my TM practice.

Wonderful 😊

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Totally life changing. I feel so peaceful and happy.

I am a novice at TM.

I am a novice at TM.
People I've met have characterized TM in different ways, some saying that it's easy, others saying that it's simple, effortless, etc. I am sure that those adverbs work for some of us. I, however, did not find it all that "easy". Being a creature of effort, I find it counterintuitive to strip it from any pursuit from which I am seeking results. My teacher explained it excellently. Intellectually, I knew what needed to happen. But despite this, I felt the urge to nudge this, encourage that; basically, exercise control in my meditation. To rid myself of this urge, I looked for a paradigm that would help me overcome these behavioral habits. Looking for an example of effortless activity, I thought of "sunbathing", an activity I enjoyed many years ago as a teenager. I sat in a comfortable chair and substituted "burn, baby, burn" for my personal mantra, and basked in an aura of restful meditation. I find my "sun" gradually getting warmer with every day I practice. I am loving the positivity, energy, and alertness that have come with TM in the first ten days of practice..
