The authentic, evidence-based Transcendental Meditation technique. Verified by over 400 peer-reviewed scientific studies.
The TM technique is easily learned through personal instruction and a few classes with a certified teacher. The course comes with a lifetime of free follow-up guidance and support.
TM practice is not concentration, contemplation, watching your breath or monitoring thoughts. Nor is it merely trying to be mindful or staying focused on the present moment. Instead of giving you one more new thing to do with your mind to keep it active and busy, the TM technique allows mental activity to naturally, spontaneously settle down—to the quiet, rejuvenating state of restful alertness or pure consciousness.
There's no dogma, beliefs, or change in lifestyle. Nothing to join.
So effortless, you can do it anywhere—sitting comfortably with eyes closed.

What is transcending?
It's the natural process of diving inward, beyond the active mind, to the peaceful, harmonious state of pure awareness—where the mind is silent yet fully awake. Scientists researching the effects of TM have found this state of "restful alertness" to be a state of much deeper physiological rest than sleep or ordinary relaxation, and that brain functioning becomes healthier and more integrated with regular practice.
