I learnt TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION (TM) in 1989. I was so impressed with the technique; I was inspired to become a teacher and have been teaching since I qualified 1st January 2000.  I became associated with the Meditation Trust in 2009.
 I have spent over 12 months on residential courses in order to qualify.  My greatest reward with teaching is to see a change taking place in students.”
GETTING THE BEST FOR ONE’S SELF
TM is a sound practical and simple DIY technique for getting the best out of one’s self.  One becomes one’s own therapist. It is easy to learn and practice yet is very powerful. One only needs to spend a few minutes every day practicing.
It works on the very root of our very being. It provides benefits to the whole person. In a few minutes it brings inner peace and the depth of rest that is achieved is twice as much as eight hours of sleep.  It is rejuvenating, healing and releases very deep rooted stresses. It also has a spiritual dimension that raises consciousness
Even if we regard our self as healthy, happy and successful - there is still a lot to be gained from TM. Over 600 research studies have shown a wide range of benefits. One study of 2000 people practicing TM showed that they have between 50% and 80% less hospitalisation than the norm. Other research shows they are more creative and use more of the brain and that the brain functions better. Other research shows relationships improve.

NOT ALL MEDITATION TECHNIQUES ARE THE SAME!
"Meditations differ in both their ingredients and their effects, just as medicines do. Lumping them all together as "essentially the same" is simply a mistake," said Jonathan Shear, Ph.D., co-author, professor of philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and the author of several books and publications on meditation.
"Explicit differences between meditation techniques need to be respected when researching physiological patterns or clinical outcomes of meditation practices," said Dr. Travis. "If they are averaged together, then the resulting phenomenological, physiological, and clinical profiles cannot be meaningfully interpreted."
"TM is automatic self transcending AND characterised by Alpha1 activity".

What students of TM have said;-
 Marta Alcaide Furniture restorer and Mother, “I now tend to take the day more calm, happier, relaxed and focussed, getting things done more efficiently. I feel I spread more happiness and laughter around me. I do not feel angry anymore. Amazing things have started to happen like people stop me and we have incredible conversations. I feel what I want comes to me without me making any effort.” … And later … “I just wanted to let you know that I'm still meditating and I love the subtle but fundamental changes TM is making in my life and everything around me. Since my husband did the course a few weeks ago TM has been fundamental to help us make a big decision in our life. We are really enjoying the process of doing it. I feel powerful and just know that everything is going to be fine. I just wanted to thank you once again to introduce me to this wonderful state and wish you the best for you and your loved ones. Love Marta”
Wendy Wright - Pilate Trainer and Demonstrator -London, New York and Toronto, “The benefits are incredible.  I have gained more confidence.  After the stresses and frustrations of the day, TM is a building up of the castle walls sort of feeling.  I know I soon will be calmer.  I emerge full again, rebuilt and whole.         A few years later; for over 20 years I had been a migraine sufferer and had pursued every avenue ... I was able to stop a migraine attack using the principles and relaxation techniques of TM.  It was amazing… Thank you Roger” and a few more years later, - “I have not had a migraine for years. I can stop them coming using the principals of TM”
Sharon Crown, Counsellor “I don’t get panic attacks any more”
Pauline Mitchell - Departmental Manager and Marathon Runner, “TM has helped me go further and believe in myself.”
Mirella Zampi - Personnel Assistant, Mother and Part Time Teacher, “Transcendental Meditation has unearthed a hidden treasure; discovering one’s true self, observing life, not passing judgement, not criticising, reflecting, but most important of all, to love myself, to love deep into my inner being and discover who I really am.  Transcendental Meditation for me is; resting the mind, paying attention to one’s self, letting go, physical relaxation and calmness of mind.”
Mike Plummer – Management Training Organiser (NHS). “I tried many different self development programmes, but of all of them, TM has had the most profound beneficial effect. It is the best investment that I ever made.”
Nicola Syntax – Manager Drinks Division of Process Company. It has made me feel more at ease with myself in that I feel more in control. The course was fantastic.
Ashley Misplon – Charity Manager. I had yet to find a technique that worked for me.   After my first meditation with Roger, I was amazed how quickly I went into a deep state. It was an amazing feeling. I’ve never successfully meditated before and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. I found the course hugely beneficial, brilliantly run and easy to follow I enjoyed Roger’s method of teaching, the traditional ceremony and his way of explaining the science behind TM. I feel empowered and for the first time I feel confident that I can meditate and meditation’s benefits are available to me.  …A week later; Hi, Thanks very much for a great course. I am already feeling the benefits - I actually burst out laughing today on receipt of a particular email at work which would have completely stressed me out a week ago. I have also just had a great meditation this evening, which makes me feel confident that I am doing it right. Thanks again. All the best, Ashley
Susan Rawman – Accountant.  I attended a couple of other types of meditation courses – not very useful to me. My first session with Roger, I had a great feeling of peace. I seemed to be in a really lovely place within myself. On this the last day of the course, I have experienced benefit already.
Alison Douglas – Carer & Office Administrator. I tried many different meditation techniques over the years and was bored. I very much enjoyed the week end course with Roger and am pleased with my experience; I feel an energy I have never felt before. I enjoyed the peaceful nature of Roger’s teaching who is an inspiration to continue.
Federico Coceres – Ski Instructor Spain, “I deal with my relationships calmer, tempered and with better humour. I am less anxious and irritable”. Federico came to the UK solely to learn TM
Cleo – Mother, Four years after learning; “... of late and I haven't been meditating, my routine has changed and I haven't been able to get back on top of my meditation. I feel a little disappointed with me because I..... do miss it and I know how important it has been to my well being. Laurel has been doing better than me and although he has missed a couple sessions, he is essentially meditating regularly. I'd like to sincerely thank you again for teaching us how to meditate, your work is truly priceless. Kind Regards.”
Dren Suljevic – Student ; “I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been meditating pretty much every day since your course and it has had a profound effect on my life. I really feel like I am back on track. I’ve started working and I’m also studying for a degree. I’ve also noticed how my interaction with people has improved and all my friends and family can’t believe the change in me.  TM is something that I’m likely to continue for the rest of my life and starting meditating it is the best decision I’ve ever made.  I thank you from the depth of my heart for teaching me this technique.
