What is
Transcendental Meditation (TM)?
Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless mental technique. It allows the mind to settle inward beyond thought to experience a state of restful alertness.
The TM technique is a simple–yet very effective–way to enjoy inner peace, dissolve stress, and access your full potential.
TM practice is easy and enjoyable. Anyone can do it, sitting comfortably with eyes closed, for 20 minutes twice a day. There is no effort involved.
What is
Transcendental Meditation NOT?
Transcendental Meditation practice is not a religion. Nor does it interfere with one's religion—or lack of one. It is not a belief system.
You don't even have to believe in TM for it to work.
The TM technique is different from other types of meditation in how it is practiced and in the positive effects it produces on the mind and body.
TM is distinct from mindfulness. It's a unique technique with its own specific mechanics and benefits.
TM is not a form of concentration or control. It's an effortless technique that allows the mind to settle naturally.
TM practice is proven to be effective
What are the benefits?
Original peer-reviewed and published studies have been conducted on the TM technique from 1970 to the present. That is unprecedented and unique among research on specific meditation techniques.
Research shows that TM provides important benefits to mental and physical health—as well as emotional well-being.
Transcendental Meditation practice provides profound rest to both mind and body. This can dissolve deeply rooted stress in the nervous system and improve how the brain functions.
After just a few minutes of TM practice people typically feel more refreshed, clearer mind, and ready for action.
Regular practice of TM has been shown by scientific studies to reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. It can also lead to increased creativity and energy levels.

How is TM different?
The Transcendental Meditation technique is distinct from all other forms of meditation. Other techniques maintain a level of mental activity at the surface of the mind.
TM is an effortless technique that doesn't require concentration, control, or monitoring of thoughts. It's completely natural, since it uses the nature of the mind to go for more. What is more?
Total silence, pure creativity, the reservoir of energy and peace.
TM practice is characterized by the settling down of mental activity, an inward trajectory of the mind, transcending thought.
The TM technique gives rise to a unique state of brain functioning which has numerous holistic benefits.
"Whatever the reason we're coming to TM, we're getting the full spectrum of results for our mind and our body."
It is also completely effortless, and therefore much easier to master than other forms of meditation. Unlike other meditation techniques, TM doesn't involve controlling the mind. No effort, no concentration. TM promotes a unique state of restful alertness, allowing the mind to settle into a state of deep relaxation.

What is the origin of
Transcendental Meditation?
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whose life's work was to revive and demystify the timeless knowledge of meditation, and verify its effectiveness through the lens of modern science, began teaching Transcendental Meditation in the 1950s.
After refining and systematizing the teaching of TM, Maharishi began a movement to make the technique available worldwide. He oversaw the training of thousands of teachers and established a non-profit foundation to preserve the authenticity of the TM technique for generations to come.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi spent 13 years studying with his teacher, a renowned custodian of the thousands-year-old tradition of ancient Vedic wisdom.
Maharishi revived, systematized, and demystified the teaching of TM to share it with people throughout the world to develop their consciousness.
By 1958, Maharishi was traveling the world teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique. He oversaw the training of thousands of certified TM teachers and established a non-profit foundation to preserve the authenticity of the TM technique for generations to come.
Dr. Tony Nader, MD, PhD
Maharishi chose Dr. Tony Nader, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard-trained medical doctor and one of the world’s eminent Vedic scholars, as his successor.
Today, Dr. Nader leads the non-profit Transcendental Meditation organizations, their programs, and teachers in over 100 countries.
Dr. Nader is guiding Maharishi's remarkable legacy into the 21st century, by bringing the science of consciousness to new audiences and expanding our understanding of the furthest reaches of human potential.
