I'd been interested in trying TM for many years, and due to some recent stress in life, I decided now would be the perfect time. I'm so glad I did, as I find each meditation brings more calmness to me... See more

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

Having access to Teachers with extensive experience is so valuable for me.

My teacher is very kind, certainly very patient and willing to help anytime I had problems or questions. I liked the fact that the information is meant to be passed down from an experienced person to the student. It feels more powerful and important. The personal lesson was easy to follow, understand and one on one. Having access to someone with 30 years in the organization is invaluable if you’re interested in going further into more advanced techniques. I also like the sense of community and like minded people it brings together and the opportunities to go to retreats, events etc.
The app could use some work. There should be a way to communicate with other meditators. I understand not wanting students to instruct each other on the technique (because we arent teachers) but allowing us a place to share our experiences and growth would make the community seem less disjointed for newer meditators. I don’t like that the app has a paid feature with more access. Adding a social section would be great. I appreciate the fee sliding scale for those with less income to still be able to learn. You can “learn” to meditate online, in books, etc but learning directly from someone with thousands of students over 30 years (in my case) makes the experience more profound and precise. Your ego will create tons of obstacles and problems and this way you can eliminate any doubt or confusion immediately with someone that has the knowledge to guide you properly. I wish I would have done this sooner. Like 15 years ago when I first heard about it. Practicing TM is a major commitment and I wish I wasn’t so focused on the results being immediate- because this isn’t the case for most people. In that sense I feel I may have been misinterpreting some of what I read initially. Anyone can learn TM- it is very easy and natural. The results are still unfolding for me obviously after only a week of practice.

Life Changing

I cannot believe how much TM has changed my life in one week! Thank you, Vincent Glasser for opening a new path for me and teaching me TM. I am grateful to my doctor who also practices for suggesting that I try it.

Great Learning Experience

My learning experience was great. My teacher was wonderful - patient, friendly, accessible, understanding. After 6 hours (spread over 4 days), I felt very well informed and ready to practice on my own, and have been doing it 2X each day.

I learned TM in 1968

I learned TM in 1968, I was ready to drop out of college and be a California Hippie. Maharishi gave my intro lecture, and I wasn't really interested, but the family I was vacationing with said to me and their other kids, "You are all starting TM or you are all moving out. It worked right away from the very first meditation. Now I have 2 graduate degrees and TM is, by far, the best course I ever took.

The teacher

The teacher, Mr. Roger Grow, is excellent! He creates a calm, relaxed and informative setting! The student becomes aware of their own sense of self and consciousness, while self melts into CONSCIOUSNESS!

I love it

I love it. Immediately after my first TM class I felt relief. My problems didn't go away but how I felt about them changed.

At first I was apprehensive about committing to TM twice a day but now that I'm almost two weeks in, I find I forward to it.

This has been a very welcome addition to my life.

And my instructor, Warren, was excellent. 10/10 strong recommend!

I am still adjusting to the routine and experience of this practice. But I am sticking with it longer than any other practice I’ve tried. I’m not sure I’ve achieved “transcendence” in the practice as of yet. Some days are easier than others. I think it is helping with some of my health issues

Transcendental Meditation as key to inner peace

I am so happy and grateful now that I am reacquainted/renewed and upgraded in my TM practice after many years away from it. The training I received and transmissions from Master Teacher John Puffer was so direct, simple, powerful, easeful, and effective to the point of blissful and calming transcendence. I am able to "come home to myself." I strongly recommend this practice and study with John to anyone who is seeking the documented and reliable effects and outcomes of improved health and inner peace that regular TM practice guarantees as your own Divine gift to your Self!

If you've tried other meditations without success, TM might be your answer

It's only been 10 days since I learned TM, and I'm already feeling the benefits in a significant and meaningful way. I've tried many other meditation approaches without success (often feeling worse about myself for not being able to do it), but TM is manageable, clear, and incredibly freeing. Highly, highly recommend. Incredibly well organized on-boarding experience, focused classes, and huge value. Not only does your tuition cover the four classes but also includes access to the app, videos and ongoing support & certain events.
