Learn More About Transcendental Meditation
Transcendental Meditation® (TM) is a simple, natural technique that brings deep rest to the mind and body. It is taught in person through a structured, four-day process—and has transformed millions of lives around the world.
David McLaren has practiced TM for more than 30 years and is a Certified Teacher who brings unmatched depth, care, and insight to his instruction.
What is TM?
Transcendental Meditation® (TM) is a silent, effortless practice that allows the mind to settle inward and access a deep level of restful awareness. It is not concentration, mindfulness, or guided meditation—and does not require belief or lifestyle changes.
Practiced for 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably with eyes closed, TM helps release stress, improve focus, and support mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
TM is taught one-on-one or in small groups by Certified Teachers to preserve its authenticity and ensure correct practice from day one.
Transcendental Meditation® was brought to the West from India by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 1950s. It is passed on through a standardized teaching format to preserve its purity and effectiveness.
