How to Learn Transcendental Meditation
"The proof of the pudding..."
Transcendental Meditation is taught by qualified teachers trained by the founder of Transcendental Meditation, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in a standardised 7 step course established in over 140 countries worldwide.
Transcendental Meditation is unique and very simple to learn and practise. Your first step to starting TM is to contact your local TM Centre who will tell you when the next Free Introductory Lecture will be held. At this informal talk, the teacher will give a broad overview of the practice of Transcendental Meditation, and will be pleased to answer any questions you may have. There will be no 'hard sell' and you will not be expected to make any commitments. Feel free to bring friends or family.
After the free introductory talk, if you decide to enrol on a course, you fill out a short form, go through it with your teacher, and make an appointment for instruction.

SEVEN STEPS TO LEARNING
|
|
|
STEPS 1-3 |
Introductory sessions which introduce TM and its benefits and explain the origin and principles of the technique. (1 hour) |
|
STEP 4 |
Personal instruction in the technique, after which you go home and practise. (1-2 hours) |
|
STEPS 5-7 |
Seminars to fine tune the technique. (1-2 hours each) |
Instruction in Transcendental Meditation takes place in four sessions of approximately one and a half hours each on consecutive days, usually starting on a Saturday (if this is not possible for you, your teacher will arrange a different time). The first instruction session is always on a one-to-basis where you practise TM for the first time. The following three sessions are held in a group and experiences of the technique and questions that may have arisen can be shared and discussed.
Four optional follow-up seminars, included in the initial course fee, are available over the next 3 months. These meetings ensure that you are self-sufficient in the practice - that you are practising correctly and are enjoying the benefits.
The Best Investment You Will Ever Make
At the end of the course you will have all the knowledge and experience you need to continue meditating on your own at home. However, if you wish, your Transcendental Meditation centre will keep you informed of activities at the centre which include meditation checking, evening lectures, weekend courses, advanced courses and other aspects of the Vedic knowledge from which Transcendental Meditation comes.
Course Fee
Course Fee: £1280. A single course fee covers the course of instruction and any extra individual tuition you may require for the first 3-6 months. No subsequent financial commitment is required.
