It is 8 years since my first TM experience and I was quickly impressed by its effect. Any anxiety was replaced by serenity, life seemed more under control, any anger soon subsided, blood pressure normalised and I was generally more able to deal with the ups and downs of life. The continued advice and suggestions from Chris Greathead at the Manchester meetings I always try to attend, are invaluable, as is the more powerful effect which always seem to result from group meditation. The continued help from the meetings does not require any further payment after the initiation cost (although a contribution is appreciated to defray the room cost) which is amazing in this grab and take world. I thank the day that I discovered TM from the Charitable Foundation and not the Skelmersdale money grabbers and consider we are fortunate to have Chris working his special efforts in our area. Monthly meetings would be a big bonus if we could arrange them.
