One persons experience :

“I came across Transcendental Meditation at a chance business meeting, one of my previous work friends during lunch asked me how my benign cluster headaches were since we last met.

For many years now my quality of life has been affected by these re-ocurring headaches which could last for up to 3 weeks. During these years I have tried every known type of medication and treatments and none of these had any impact.

Following my colleagues recommendations I attended one of the TM courses at Ringwood in 2015.

Since that time I have meditated once every day for 20 minutes and I have not had any of these headaches in this period. This is truly life changing for me and I feel a more relaxed person.

TM has really helped me, I feel less stressed as a person and the meditation helps me get off the magic roundabout of life.”

Excerpt from A Recent Google Review

“I have been practicing TM for over a year now with the guidance of Chris, I can genuinely say I have benefited from the daily practice of TM.  I am much more focused and calmer. I found TM flexible and effortless which is great. Chris is always on hand if you need any advice too. ”

A Recent Google Review

“Still remember my first one on one with Chris in Jesmond. Driving back home to Washington across the Tyne Bridge I realised the lack of noise/internal dialogue and how relaxed I was.

Even today 20+ years later, my wife knows when I’ve done a meditation. It gives me space and allows me to function better.”

A Recent Google Review

“Sometime ago I completed a Transcendental Meditation (TM) course taught by Chris over Zoom, and it was a fantastic experience.  Chris has an incredible teaching style – clear, approachable and supportive.  Even in a virtual setting his ability to explain the practice and connect with participants was impressive.  Before this course, I had tried mindfulness practices, but found them difficult to engage with.  TM felt much more intuitive for me and having Chris as a guide made all the difference.  I’ve come to realise that TM isn’t something you can easily pick up from a book.  Having a teacher like Chris to answer questions, provide guidance, and adapt the learning to your needs really enhanced the experience.

The course itself was superb.  Each session was well structured, and the pacing felt just right-there was enough time to grasp each concept without feeling rushed.  Chris also created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, which made the process much more enjoyable.

If you’re considering learning TM, I highly recommend Chris’ course.  Even over Zoom, it was an excellent introduction to a practice I’ve already found valuable in my everyday life.”
