Advanced Techniques of Transcendental Meditation^®

Enrich Your Meditation Experience

"The purpose of Advanced Techniques is to take the experience to another, higher level. Advanced Techniques are like fertilisers; fertilisers bring better fruit to every tree. To enjoy great achievement and fulfilment in life, take advantage of this beautiful programme of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness." – Maharishi

What are Advanced Techniques?

Advanced Techniques of Transcendental Meditation enhance and enrich the benefits of daily practice of Transcendental Meditation, hastening the growth to enlightenment.

Through the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation the mind becomes familiar with the experience of 'pure consciousness', the simplest, least excited state of consciousness from where all thoughts arise.

Through Advanced Techniques, we deepen our experience of pure consciousness and enhance our ability to experience finer levels of thought – to develop finer perception while becoming more familiar with the experience of our own, silent Self. As our conscious mind becomes more infused with this pure field of consciousness and our perception becomes more enriched, our thoughts and actions spontaneously become more powerful and effective, resulting in greater fulfilment of desires in daily life.

Who teaches Advanced Techniques?

Advanced Techniques are only taught by Maharishi Vedic Experts from India who usually visit England, Scotland and Ireland each year.

Who can learn Advanced Techniques?

Four Advanced Techniques are offered to all Meditators in a sequence developed by Maharishi. You can apply to learn the first Advanced Technique after two months to four months of regular practice of Transcendental Meditation. You can continue with the sequence of Advanced Techniques after every additional two to four months of regular practice..

The recommended duration of regular practice between one Advanced Technique and the next is four months, but two months is adequate if the experiences are good and the course is only available at that time. If there are any questions, please apply anyway and the Advanced Technique Teacher will advise what is the appropriate next step for you.

Completion of the series of four Advanced Techniques is a pre-requisite for learning the TM-Sidhi Programme with the exception of the 2017 Fast-Track Course. But even if you do not intend to learn the TM-Sidhi Programme, the Advanced Techniques will enhance your evolution. Once learned, they continue to have a profound effect on your meditation and your activity for the rest of your life.

What Meditators say about Advanced Techniques ...

"Astonishingly good! They make the positive effects of my daily meditation last longer into the day."

"My meditation is very deep, yet very lively. I feel relaxed, yet my mind is fully awake. I feel waves of warmth and contentment. This is a very wonderful experience!"

"I experience a deeper silence. My meditation is more soothing, more blissful, and I feel more energy after meditation."

"I had become fond of my TM practice, enjoying transcendence as an increasingly blissful, restful, revitalising experience. But with my Advanced Technique the experience immediately reached a finer level of silence and peace. It's glorious to know that these benefits will last, and grow, my whole life long."

"I experience lightness, bliss and integration with the world around me!"
