Transcendental Meditation is an extremely popular type of meditation and is known world wide. It was developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1955 and similar to Vipassana Meditation, it originated in India. It is very common to learn this type of meditation by attending a 4 day seminar (they’re held all over the world) but transcendental books and programs can also be purchased for home study.

Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a very simple form of mantra meditation. Essentially, each person practicing TM is assigned a personal mantra to use during their practice. This mantra is repeated over and over again for a period of 15-20 minutes, two times a day.

Similar to mantra meditation, it’s important to understand the underlying meaning of the mantra you’re chanting, but more importantly you must chant the mantra at the correct tones. This will ensure that the mantra will resonate at the correct vibrational frequency for the benefits to occur.

As with all types of of meditation, transcendental meditation offers many great benefits such as:

- Increased energy
- Greater mental clarity
- Decreased stress levels
- Improved relaxation

And much, much more…..

Most meditation practices stress the importance of focused concentration and this is often unnatural and difficult for people to achieve. TM prides itself for its ease of use and highlights that anyone can effortlessly meditate using this meditation technique.
