Comments after 1st week of TM in Newcastle

Testimonial from Bishop Auckland, County Durham – 13 years of TM

“It has been some years since I have been in touch however, I consistently practise my TM once daily. This has supported me through a very stressful
period during my career and I doubt I could have coped without it.
I do intend to attend a refresher meeting soon as it is approximately thirteen years since I first started to meditate.
Hope you are keeping well and thank you for helping me to have a happier and more positive approach to life.”
Angela ~ Bishop Auckland, County Durham

Comment after last weekends Transcendental Meditation course in Edinburgh

Comment from someone who attended our Transcendental Meditation course in Edinburgh, November 2014

“I’m practising every day – don’t think I’ve had any moments of transcendence but I enjoy it & look forward to it so will keep on with it!”

Christine ~ Edinburgh

The experience of someone who learned TM in Newcastle in January this year.

“I’d said I’d check in with you in a couple of weeks, and I think it’s been 3 or so now… Anyway, things are going well with the mediation.  I’ve not missed a day yet and look forward to them every day, particularly the afternoon one. I still do struggle a bit with the mantra getting tied to my heartbeat or breath and those sorts of things, and then allow that to bother me, but the good thing is I know I’m doing it and I know that it’ll sort itself out if I just let it.  I still feel like I’m getting “better at it” and like I’ve got a bit of a way to go before I really get it, although it may be that that never happens, I don’t know.  Either way, I enjoy it and feel I get a lot out of it.  In terms of how it’s affected me away from the meditation itself, I feel more clear-minded and feel like I can access clear-mindedness when I need to if that makes sense.

I’m waffling a bit, so I’ll just say thanks again for the course.  I got (and continue to get) a lot out of it.”
Scott ~ Newcastle

A very common experience., ie : Sometimes it’s when you stop meditating that you really notice the effects.

“I’m so sorry I keep missing the follow up meditator meetings, I really wanted to go to the one last week but then a friend offered me a free ticket to see a band I love.. that won I’m afraid!  But wanted to tell you: I left my job at Christmas, and so during January I’ve been chilling out and having a bit of a rest… anyway, I could really dedicate good time to meditation, and I found I was suddenly sleeping better, and I thought it was just because I had left my job… not so, I missed out on meditation for a few days when I was away and I struggled!   So I’m finding it so helpful, thanks”

Comment from someone who recently restarted meditating

“I think I’m back on track, just doing it with no expectations or aims whatsoever and it flows nicely. Sometimes I doubt that I’m missing it completely, but the benefits are tangible, especially on the anxiety and I feel much more relaxed and calm which is an amazing thing considering the state I’ve been in lately.”

Mike ~ Edinburgh
