Courses of Instruction
Transcendental Meditation instruction is offered normally once a month in Twickenham. It starts with one-to-one instruction in person at our home, taking all reasonable measures to ensure safety and sanitation. Then on the three following days you study in your own time in your own home, using a rich and interactive mobile app, and enjoy an online meeting with the teacher each evening. A six-month follow-up programme of online group meditation check-ups and knowledge are included in the fee, and ensure that your daily practice continues to be 100% correct and maximally effective.

What is
Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique practised 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably.
It is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over ten million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learned TM.
"It is our birth right to be happy, to be alert..."
Hugh Jackman talks about TM
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 are the evidence-based benefits?
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".
