What is TM? Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless technique practised 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably. It enables mind and body to access a special quality of rest. Over six million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learnt TM. Anyone can learn! What happens when you meditate?
