What is TM?

It’s a simple, natural technique practiced twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.

The TM technique is easy to learn and enjoyable to practice, and is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over six million people have learned it — people of all ages, cultures, and religions.

How is TM taught?

The TM technique is always taught by a certified TM teacher through personal one-on-one instruction. On each of the following 3 days, there’s a session (often in a group) to discuss experiences, ask questions that arise, and confirm you’re getting the maximum benefit from your TM practice.
