What to Expect
TM is taught in a structured four-day course by a certified teacher. After personal instruction, you practise twice daily for 20 minutes, sitting comfortably with eyes closed and silently repeating a personalised mantra. The technique is effortless — no concentration or control of thoughts is required. After learning, daily practice is entirely independent.
