What is the TM technique?

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

It's a simple, natural technique practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.

Transcendental Meditation — brought to the West in 1959 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi — is an ancient technique that's easy to learn and enjoyable to practice. It's not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over six million people have learned it — people of all ages, cultures, and religions.

What if I "can't meditate"?

Have you ever tried to meditate, and found you couldn't do it because your mind is too active — or maybe the technique was uncomfortable in some way?

It's a common experience because almost all techniques involve some kind of control or focus.

"I'll try this, even though I'm not good at meditating" (video 2:02)

Other common questions

Can I learn TM from a book or video?

Imagine trying to learn a natural golf swing or the violin. You know how valuable it is for a good teacher to show you the proper technique.

The TM technique is easy to learn, but requires personalized interactive guidance. For this reason, it's taught only through one-on-one instruction by a certified TM teacher.

There is no other way to learn the authentic TM technique — and there is no evidence that anything else provides the full range of benefits documented in the published research on the TM technique.

What happens during TM?

The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, through quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness — pure consciousness.

This introductory video provides a clear description of what happens during TM practice.

What's the evidence of TM's effectiveness?

Hundreds of published research studies have found that the TM technique is highly effective for stress, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension, and more. See the research overview.

The TM technique is easy to learn and enjoyable to practice, and is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over six million people have learned it — people of all ages, cultures, and religions.

What if I'm not good at controlling my mind?

No problem. Unlike other forms of meditation, TM practice involves no concentration, no control of the mind, no contemplation, no monitoring of thoughts.

Anyone can do it — even children with ADHD and soldiers with PTSD.

What if I'm skeptical?

The TM technique's effectiveness is the same whether you believe it will work or are completely skeptical. That's because it automatically and effortlessly allows your active thinking mind to settle down to a state of deep inner calm.
