The 2nd Youtube interview about TM (Transcendental Meditation) I’ve been sent in the last couple of hours. Includes a lovely description of how much more do-able TM is compared to Mindfulness. (About half way through) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPX1075wxbQ
Whatever you may think about Joe Rogan, he gives a good description of Transcendental Meditation (TM) here.
Regarding the title, the TM organisation is in fact a cult, but this just applies to a tiny percentage of fanatics at its core. The TM meditation technique is pure gold and millions of people find it a rock solid quality of life enhancer.
Treat yourself and join us tomorow for an online meditation, as usual 6.55am or 6.00pm. (7 days a week) Open to all who’ve attended a TM course.
Can’t promise “Dirty Harry” will be joining us, but we always get a lovely bunch.
“Clint Eastwood the legendary actor known for his roles in classic westerns and adrenaline pumping action films, has opened up about the mental health techniques that have helped him keep his head above water during his years of fame and public pressure.”
“I am forever grateful for being introduced to Transcendental Meditation. Chris teachs TM in such a way that it takes out the myth of it being a rarefied arcane practice. Instead it is accessible, easy, practical and has been extremely helpful in my everyday life. My meditation time is something I look forward to.”

Not specifically about TM, (Transcendental Meditation) but relevant. One of the growing number of articles on research that is beginning to explain why people who meditate experience the benefits thy do.
“Taking a minute to focus on your breath, engage in mindfulness or practice any stress management technique could be shaping your (brain)’s wiring even when you’re not actively focused on a task.”
“Your brain literally changes based on daily activities and lifestyle”
“I first learnt TM (Transcendental Meditation) in 2004, a few months after the sudden death of my partner. My reasons were purely practical, my blood pressure had gone through the roof and I didn’t want to start taking drugs. I researched alternative methods dealing with this and came across several reports and articles indicating that TM may help. It did. But it did so much more as well!
Initially it became a time when I could let my thoughts go wherever they wanted, my “time-out” every day. As the years went on and I accepted my new normal I carried on meditating – most of the time. If I got busy or was travelling, it got pushed aside. Once I’d missed several sessions, it became easy to carry on not meditating, after all it didn’t seem to make any difference. Only it did. After a few weeks of not meditating, I’d find myself getting very short tempered and irritated with things that don’t usually bother me. Somehow days just didn’t flow as well. Once I’d noticed that, I would go back to meditating; I’d become calmer and life would improve.
After the onset of Covid, several wonderful TM teachers in the UK came together to offer twice daily TM sessions online via zoom. Due to the time difference I only do one of them, but they have been incredible!! I’m finding almost the same effect meditating with others via zoom that I do when I meditate with others in person.
If you’re thinking of trying TM, but are hesitating, don’t – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Whether you chose to join the online zoom meetings or meditate alone after you’ve learnt, you’ll be part of a wonderful community and will get all the support you need from the teachers.”

He says he was lucky to have sent his three children to a progressive nursery school where they were taught the basics of transcendental meditation. He was so impressed by the calming results of this that he took a course himself. “I find that if I’m too tired, too tense, too angry, meditation is the best way out,” he says. “Five minutes of TM is a very useful tool.”
From last Sundays Observer
Excerpt from a Google Review :
“I learnt to meditate with Chris 3 years ago via zoom during a very difficult time and I have meditated every day since. I now couldn’t imagine a day when I didn’t. It is the best way to start the day I feel refreshed calmer and more focused. Being able to access this over zoom was brilliant. I think that TM is something everyone should try.”

A recent Google Review (This morning) :
“Some friends ask why we decided to start practicing TM. After all I am 75 and too old to start something new. My wife is 66 and newly retired. They said TM was a religion that the Beatles were practicing 60 years ago. Why would I want to put forth that kind of effort?
My first answer to them was that TM is not a religion. It is a method. Scientifically proven to be beneficial to those who practice it.
TM is meant to be effortless. Chris has made it even more effortless by making it available to learn and practice over Zoom. We live in the US, so Zoom has enabled us to participate in group meditation with a wonderful group of people in the UK and other countries.
How have we benefitted? We are more relaxed. It has increased our focus. It has stimulated our creativity. We sleep better. Our dreams are more vivid. TM gives us a greater sense of peace in an otherwise chaotic world. Overall TM has enhanced our daily lives”
