What people say ...
"Feeling more rested, and feeling on top of my game all the time is the really key thing about it. I'm often dealing with stressful situations. Before I did TM, small things would go wrong and I'd have a panic! It was a terrible feeling. But now I feel like I'm in control, and I can assess the situation and make the best of it, and keep everyone calm at the same time. I feel really strong and level, emotionally."
- Amanda Leat, Digital Agency Director
"I think I'm able to give more, because somehow that clarity and vision has been given to me by TM, and I'm therefore able to feel do that much more without it ever feeling a burden, as it might have done in the years before TM."
- Michael Andrew, Financial Advisor
"Being able to resolve conflicts within a team - which there often are in the kind of work that we do - is extremely important. I've found Transcendental Meditation an extraordinarily important tool for doing that."
- James Scott, Corporate Finance

Psychiatrist, NHS
"The profound relaxation, and the ease with which people adopt this technique – which is so simple to learn no matter what background, intellect or age – makes Transcendental Meditation stand out from other relaxation techniques. The special state of restful alertness that it produces accounts for the profound effects of Transcendental Meditation on physiology, mind, and emotions – including anxiety and depression."
