What is Transcendental Meditation?
Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is a simple, natural technique practised for 20 minutes morning and evening, while sitting comfortably with eyes closed.
During Transcendental Meditation the mind effortlessly transcends mental activity and experiences pure consciousness at the source
of thought, while the body experiences a unique state of restfulness.
Stress, which hinders creative thinking and dynamic activity is naturally dissolved – resulting in better health, more happiness and success. Transcendental Meditation unfolds the full potential of life.Read More

Oprah Winfrey TV show creates record interest in Transcendental Meditation
20 April 2012
Oprah's recent TV show featuring Transcendental Meditation and the town of Fairfield, Iowa, USA, where thousands practise the technique each day, has generated immense interest in Transcendental Meditation in America. Only excerpts of the show are available in the UK. In the US, the edition of the Next Chapter show reached an audience of several million.
Oprah is the USA's most high-profile seeker and has interviewed many of the world's leading spiritual and personal growth teachers, but such has been the impact of Transcendental Meditation on the lives of her and her colleagues that all 400 members of her staff at Harpo Studios now practise the technique twice-daily at work. The show is her testimony to the technique's versatility and effectiveness.
"You can't imagine what's happened in the company," she says. "People who used to have migraines don't. People are sleeping better. People have better relationships. People react with other people better. It's fantastic. "
The show opens with testimonies from Jerry Seinfeld, Clint Eastwood, Russell Simmons, Russell Brand and Ellen de Generes reflecting on the impact of Transcendental Meditation on their lives.
In Fairfield, which Oprah describes as 'one of the safest, greenest, and most unusual communities in America', the show features Oprah meditating with over 400 women in one of the town's golden domes.
She visits the Maharishi School, a primary and secondary school which teaches 'consciousness-based education', with meditation an integral part of the curriculum. There, Oprah explores the 16 principles of the Science of Creative Intelligence: 'life lessons' that Oprah says have taken her decades to learn, including 'Life is found in layers', 'Outer depends upon inner' and, Oprah's favourite, 'Every action has a reaction'.
