Watch: What is Transcendental Meditation?
There’s a reason Transcendental Meditation has been around for so long: it’s simple, practical and surprisingly easy to learn.
TM is a natural meditation technique practised for about 20 minutes twice a day. You don’t need to concentrate, control your thoughts, sit in a special position or adopt a particular belief system.
People learn TM for all sorts of reasons. Some want to feel less stressed. Some want more energy or clearer thinking. Others are simply curious about meditation and want a technique they can actually stick with.
What does the research say?
Transcendental Meditation has been studied for many years, with research looking at areas such as stress, anxiety, blood pressure, cardiovascular health and general wellbeing.
If you enjoy digging into the science, we have a whole section of the site devoted to the research.
Is TM good for beginners?
Very much so.
In fact, one of the nice things about TM is that you don’t have to be “good at meditation” to do it. There’s no trying to empty the mind and no struggling to stop thoughts.
You learn the technique personally from a trained TM teacher and then practise it on your own at home.
