“I discovered the benefits of TM over ten years ago during a particularly stressful period in my life.  It helped enormously to recharge my batteries and allowed me to be more calm, focused and ultimately more productive in my life and work.  I have been recommending TM to my clients ever since.  I use TM to help with my work/life balance and to reap the many proven health benefits.  In my opinion, it should be made compulsory for the health of the nation.”

“Many thanks for the training, the meditation is by far the most relaxed and deepest I have tried” Sharon ~ West Yorks.

“I learnt TM about twenty years ago when I was embarking on the Law Society Finals course. It was a one year memory cramfest which I had no intention of doing twice, as I wanted to avoid mental exhaustion. TM did the trick. I am not the best advocate for TM since I don’t meditate for twenty minutes twice a day. Twice a month might be nearer the mark, but I have the comfort of knowing that I have TM in my anti-stress toolkit when the going gets tough.”

“I learnt TM about ten years ago when my young son was a toddler. I was working full time and felt overwhelmed with everyday life. Being a mum and holding down a professional job was starting to make me tired and irritable, something which I didn’t want, especially for my son and husband. I found a TM leaflet in a really unlikely place (a hair salon I think) and immediately thought it could help me.

I contacted Chris and organised a session where I learnt how to meditate and after less than a week I felt revived and I could view my own life with more clarity. TM is a valuable tool to successfully navigate the 21st century and I view it as a daily dose of ‘downtime’ which I suspect everyone needs but many miss out on. I would recommend TM to anyone at all, you don’t need to feel tired or stressed to benefit from TM.”
Madelaine ~ Newcastle upon Tyne

” I find TM provides peace in a world full of urgency, and would recommend it to anyone.”

“My wife and I attended a tm course about 5 years ago now and we have found this to be totally life changing, we feel empowered to deal with stress and pressure, by meditating daily we have an opportunity to truly unwind and feel deeply peaceful and re-energized. This has improved our lives in so many ways, we have recommended TM to many of our friends and will continue to practice TM and reap the rewards of giving ourselves some time in this ever increasingly demanding and fast paced world.”

Richard ~ Andover, Hants

“I started doing transcendental meditation so that has been a huge catalyst for change in me and it has helped me a lot. I mean, I can’t always find time to do 20 minutes twice a day, but it gives you 20 minutes of benefit. And 40 minutes gives you 40 minutes and 10 gives you 10, so it’s better than nothing. It’s relatively early on, but I’ve been wanting to tackle that for years. So I’m happy that I’ve incorporated that into my life.”

Through the ’60s, the Beach Boys had a friendly rivalry — more like a mutual admiration society — with their fellow chart-toppers, the Beatles. (For instance, the Beach Boys’ landmark “Pet Sounds” was Brian Wilson’s response to the Beatles’ “Rubber Soul.”) Love and the Beatles crossed paths when they made a pilgrimage to India in 1968 to study under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

“The Beatles were invited by the Maharishi separately,” Love recalled. “Mia Farrow was there. Donovan and the Beatles went from England. I flew from L.A. to Hawaii to Japan to Thailand and finally to Delhi in February of 1968.

“It was one of the most fascinating experiences I’ve ever had. There were long hours of meditation and imparting of knowledge about ancient technologies that go back to — nobody knows how long. We (Love and the Beatles) were both new to meditation. But I think we missed out on the purpose of the event.”
Because, Love believes, the Maharishi’s intention was to convert the musicians into teachers of transcendental meditation.

“But the Beatles brought guitars, and there was a lot of music going on,” Love said. “So we really weren’t getting what it was about, which was to teach T.M. Subsequently, I became a teacher of T.M. “It was probably the most remarkable time of my life. In fact, to this day, I meditate every day. It’s a great way to counteract the stress of life, rather than resorting to drugs or alcohol.”

“It’s going well & I sleep like a rock now! & look forward to it after being stressed out at work!”
