“So glad I have TM in my life now!!!”  Val ~ Edinburgh.

“I have to admit to being slightly sceptical as to whether TM would work for me, would I be able to get it, would I stick with it, would it be too difficult to fit around other commitments. I was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the technique is.  I enjoy the fact that TM is easy to practice and is easy to fit in around a busy family life. I have gained a number of benefits, since learning TM, including generally feeling calmer and being able to cope better with stressful situations. I have been meditating for the last 5 years and I still enjoy it greatly.”

John ~ York

“It is about 6ish years now since we learned TM with you. It has been life changing and we don’t go a date without meditating. I recommend TM all the time”

Sarah ~ Edinburgh

“I’m pleased to say that I have kept up the meditation and am feeling the benefit from it. I always do it once a day and, sometimes, twice.

It has certainly reduced my stress level and I feel better balanced in terms of my outlook on life. So, all good overall. Why didn’t I discover it before??”

Andrew ~ York

“3 years ago I was taught TM and what a great difference it made to my life. It’s hard to explain exactly but I feel more peaceful, optimistic and calm. I really love the practice of meditation, it almost brings you into another world. I have a lovely feeling of recharging when I’m in deep transcendence and this materialises when the meditation comes to an end. I would recommend TM to anyone that has the calling, you won’t regret it!”

Pete ~ Edinburgh

“I learnt TM about 4 years ago in Edinburgh. It has made such a difference to my overall wellbeing. It is a simple tool/technique that I fit in whenever I can and even just 10-15 minutes of it leaves me feeling more energised and refreshed, with a clearer mind. Since I started TM, the things that used to worry me do so less frequently and for shorter periods. I feel emotionally more grounded after meditating and more able to focus on the important stuff in life and let the unimportant stuff go. I believe it is fundamental to my emotional and physical wellbeing. I highly recommend it”

Ciara ~ Edinburgh

“I’m still practising/meditating every day – it’s become part of my day & I look forward to my little daily escape!”

Researchers found that Transcendental Meditation could significantly decrease anxiety and depression, among others symptoms.

A new study published in The Permanente Journal presents findings of a four-month long randomized trial, which investigated the effects of a Transcendental Meditation (TM) stress-reduction program on trauma symptoms and associated factors within a male inmate population. This is the first published study evaluating TM in prison inmates, and the researchers found the program significantly reduced trauma symptoms: anxiety, depression, dissociation, and sleep disturbance, as well as perceived stress.

“To our knowledge, this is the largest randomized controlled trial to date of the effects of the TM program on trauma symptoms…” the researchers wrote.
