Transcendental Meditation – South Africa

Transcendental Meditation is so easy and natural. Everyone can learn to meditate in just a few days with regular meditation classes. TM is easy to learn; however, a gentle helping hand is needed for the first few steps. This unique meditation technique is learned one-on-one from a fully qualified and experienced Transcendental Meditation teacher.
The Transcendental Meditation Course takes place over 4 consecutive days, with sessions lasting around 2 hours, at convenient times. Free follow-up is provided for a year.

Learn how to meditate

The first step is to attend a free introductory talk – which will answer all your questions.  We discuss the benefits of the TM Technique, all the research on it, how it differs from other forms of meditation, and why TM is so valuable for life. We also discuss the mechanics of the technique, how it works and why it’s so effortless and enjoyable to practise.

• Introductory talks are held most Tuesdays at 5:30pm
• We are happy to hold talks at other times, by arrangement

The talk is free and there is no obligation;  but booking is essential.

What is Transcendental Meditation?

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless procedure practised for 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It is the most widely practised, most researched, and most effective method to reduce stress and develop one’s full potential. Transcend means ‘to go beyond’: beyond thought, to a silent reservoir of energy and creativity within.  After meditation you feel refreshed, alert, and your activity is more enjoyable and fulfilling. More than 600 scientific research studies have established the benefits of Transcendental Meditation for health and well-being, mental performance, relationships at home and at work, and peace of mind.

Group Meetings

If you have already been instructed in Transcendental Meditation, you enjoy a free follow-up programme of meditation classes for a year at the Somerset West TM Centre. This will give you extra breathing techniques (pranayama), yoga classes and a wonderful variety of lectures and discussion to inspire you and deepen your meditation experience.
