Get inner strength…

There is a big difference between:

• making a decision about something we want to change in our life, and
• actually being able to make that change

Change is always difficult and we need inner strength to see things through, especially if our environment is used to the “old us”. Inner strength comes from finding happiness, self-confidence and love inside of ourselves. The more inner strength we have, the less we depend on outside things like smoking, drinking, eating, etc to feel good and the easier it becomes to make the changes we want for our lives.

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, mental technique that restores our connection with our inner source of happiness. This helps to remain happy, no matter what the outside circumstances. This gives us more inner strength and makes it easier to follow through on our decisions.

What do TM meditators say?

Here is a short video with actors Jim Carrey, Russell Brand and Beth Behr, top model Raquel Zimmermann and previous Japanese Prime Minister Dr. Yukio Hatoyama commenting on how TM has helped them find inner strength and make meaningful changes in their life:

“Transcendental Meditation changed my whole lifestyle, in a year. I started to realize that all these challenges were good things, so I stopped smoking. It’s something that makes me very proud now, to be a non-smoker and to take care of myself. Now more and more, I really start to feel this blissful feeling. It’s beautiful.”
Top Model Raquel Zimmermann

“You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
Jim Carrey, actor

“My technique was Transcendental Meditation. I started having some calmness around my compulsive eating. I started connecting with my inner self. I started calming down and having a lot more control.”
Patient of Dr. Pamela Peeke, commenting on how she lost 230 pounds in 2 years

Transcending = holistic side-benefits

TM also creates exceptionally deep rest, which has a lot of of side-benefits. More than 350 scientific studies from top universities like Harvard have been published in the past 50 years documenting these TM benefits. TM has been shown to relieve many stress-related health issues, improve mental potential and improve our relationships. Many national health organisations are now also formally recommending TM as an option for doctors to prescribe, for example the American Heart Association in the context of treating high blood pressure. And in Switzerland, leading health insurance provider Swica is now reimbursing part of the TM course fee.

Schools in more than 60 countries have started to implement TM in their curriculum to help students to be “ready to learn”, eg under the name “Quiet Time Program”. And even the European Union recently provided a €0.5 Million grant for tests with TM in the European school system.

“Quite simply, Quiet Time [TM in school program] should be in every school.”
Dr. Carlos Garcia, Superintendent, San Francisco Unified School District, 2007-2012

“No other ‘stress management technique’ has anywhere close to TM’s amount of hard data in support of its claims to reduce stress.”
Dr. Norman Rosenthal, Psychiatrist, U.S. National Institutes of Mental Health

Transcending = Easy to do

Many people have tried some form of meditation and have found it difficult to do. The good news is that TM is very different. It is a very simple, natural and effortless technique, that doesn’t require any concentration or controlling of the mind. TM is taught individually by highly trained teachers and this personal coaching also makes it very easy to learn.

“When I learned about TM, I thought ‘I’ll try this, even though I’m not good at meditating.’ And there is something about TM, it is the only time I have that stillness. I never had that feeling before.”
Ellen Degeneres, talk-show host

“I would try meditations, because I knew that there was something there for me, but every time I would try to do it, I was like: I can not meditate. When I learned TM, it was exactly what I needed! TM is the easiest thing I’ve ever done, not just the easiest meditation, but the easiest thing.”
Cameron Diaz, actress
