“For me the greatest benefit was that normal sleep – which had eluded me for the best part of 20 years – was dramatically enhanced. I wake up in the morning and I don't feel apprehension, just: 'Give it a go! You can do it! This is your life. You only get one crack at it. Make the most of it. Really go for it.' Transcendental Meditation has given me that – not recklessness, not foolhardiness, but a sense of calmness about the way I feel and react to the present and the future. That for me is a secondary benefit that I never believed could happen. It has given me inner peace that I didn't believe I had. If you have that inner calm and peace, inevitably, you appreciate the smallest things more. For example, when I finish Transcendental Meditation I adore the sound of the birds, I adore looking at sunsets. And I make time for simple things whereas, before, I may have been slumped watching the TV because I was tired. That calmness gives you time."
– Michael Andrew, 60, Director, Financial Services
