Free Lifetime Follow-up Program


The four-part course of instruction will provide you with all you need to continue to meditate properly. For maximum benefit, we offer a program of advanced meetings, refresher courses, and private checking of the technique to maintain the effortlessness and correctness of practice. 

About our Teachers

All our teachers are qualified and participate through our national non-profit educational organization. Only certified TM teachers can instruct you in the genuine TM technique. TM teachers must successfully complete intensive 5-month in-residence training and then maintain their certification through ongoing professional courses.

Additional Information

Physiological Requirement

To derive maximum from your TM instruction, there is a requirement of abstinence from non-prescribed recreational drugs for 15 days up to the day of instruction and 24 hours abstinence from alcoholic beverages.
