Introductory Talk:
The first step for your patients in learning the Transcendental Meditation® technique is to attend a free introductory talk. The Intro talk takes roughly one hour, including discussion and Q & A. Most TM Centers offer these talks on a regular basis, often once or twice a week. Your local certified TM teachers will make every effort to accommodate your patient’s schedule if your patient is unable to attend one of the regularly scheduled talks. After attending the Intro talk, your patient will have the opportunity to enroll in the TM course of instruction; however, there is no obligation to do so.
To find out the location and contact information for your local certified TM teachers, including information on their Introductory talk schedule, please visit www.tm.org.
-
TM Course of Instruction:
The course of instruction consists of 4 sessions of about 1½ hours each, which are taught over 4 consecutive days. The first session is always individual one-on-one instruction. The 3 subsequent sessions may be taught in group format.
-
Additional Follow-Up Program:
Available to anyone after the standard four-day course of TM instruction at no additional charge, follow-up programs are optional but highly recommended. They include meditation checking sessions to ensure correctness of TM practice, refresher sessions as needed, group meditations and advanced talks, and other special events.
-
Referring patients to learn TM:
To refer patients to learn TM, write “Transcendental Meditation” or just “TM” on a signed prescription blank or office letterhead, and ask your patient to bring this to the TM Center when they attend the free Introductory talk. You may also give the patient a signed TMHPP referral voucher. A supply of these vouchers is available for your office upon request (see below for order information).
-
TM Course fee and TMHPP discount:
Once you enroll in the TM Health Professionals Program (TMHPP), the patients/clients whom you recommend to learn the TM® technique will be eligible to learn TM at a discounted professional rate.
The standard TM course fee for adults is income-based. The standard course fee ranges from $420 to $980 depending upon the individual’s annual household income. Full-time students and children pay $420 regardless of household income. With your referral, your patient will be eligible for a $40 discount off the standard course fee for their income category.
The TM course fee always includes the lifetime follow-up program described above. All TM course fees can be paid in 4 equal consecutive monthly installments.
Additional scholarship support may be available for individuals with particular financial need. They are encouraged to visit TM.org to locate their nearest TM Center and discuss their financial situation with the certified TM teachers at the Center.
