Some years ago a famous TV talk show host described Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation as 'embarassingly simple', and I've always loved that description!
Our modern lives become so complicated that to be able to find an oasis of calm within isn't really a luxury any more, it's a necessity. The simplicity of the practice makes it available to everyone, and it really doesn't matter what our experience of life has been to this point, we all need a calmer mind and the nourishment of deep physical rest.
I welcome you to find out more.

TM's Scientifically Proven Health Benefits
Hundreds of published research studies on the TM technique have documented its effectiveness on stress and anxiety, brain function, cardiovascular health and more.
What happens when you meditate?
The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness. It is completely different as it involves no concentrating or focusing, no trying to "empty the mind".
