TM is Easy to Learn
To ensure maximum effectiveness, Transcendental Meditation is taught through personal, one-to-one instruction by certified teachers . Every person is different, and every person has a different pace of learning. That is why the initial instruction in the technique is conducted on a one-to-one basis.
In Sydney, Transcendental Meditation is taught on behalf of the non profit educational organisations MGANL and GMDO-Australia. All funds generated go towards achieving these organisatons’ objectives of restoring peace to the individual and the world.
It is recommended that you first attend an initial introductory / preparatory lecture followed by a short interview - all of which takes about 1 hour. The course of instruction in the technique involves 4 sessions (60 to 90 mins) over 4 consecutive days. The course of instruction is followed by weekly, then monthly, checking sessions for a period of 4 months.
The initial seven steps
- 1. Introductory Lecture: An overview of the research and benefits of Transcendental Meditation: improving health, increasing creativity, developing mental potential, decreasing stress, promoting happiness and healthy relationships, and creating world peace.
- 2. Preparatory Lecture: A more in-depth discussion of the mechanics of the Transcendental Meditation Program - how it works, where it comes from, how it is unique amongst meditation techniques and why it's easy to learn and practice.
- 3. Personal Interview: A brief personal meeting with your teacher, following the preparatory lecture.
- After the personal interview, instruction is given over four consecutive days:
- 4. Initial Instruction (1hr): Personal instruction in Transcendental Meditation with a qualified T.M. teacher. After this session, you begin your twice-daily practice at home.
- 5. First Day of Checking (1-2hrs): Fine-tuning and verifying correctness of the practice.
- 6. Second Day of Checking (1-2hrs): Gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanics of T.M. on the basis of personal experience.
- 7. Third Day of Checking (1-2 hrs): Understanding higher states of human consciousness.
Weekly and Monthly Checkings
Following the initial seven steps is a series of weekly and monthly checking sessions, to further refine the practice of the technique and ensure you are receiving maximum benefits. These half-hour sessions are held on a one-to-one basis at our Sydney center, and can be arranged at your convenience over your first 4 months of practice.
Lifetime follow up
After you have completed your course, you may schedule a refresher session with any Transcendental Meditation teacher (in Sydney, or elsewhere), at any time. Refresher sessions take about half an hour.
