Personal Instruction: by appointment

In this session you learn on a one-to-one basis with your instructor because experiences and requirements vary and may need further explanation.
The key to TM is the passing on of a mantra (sound) in the same way as it has been passed down for thousands of years in the yoga tradition. This starts with a short ceremony chanted in Sanskrit, the language of yoga, in gratitude (not worship as in religion) from the teacher to the tradition, which you just watch. This settles the atmosphere and produces a deep level of silence in the teacher, enabling the mantra to be passed on in just the right way to ensure effectiveness of teaching. After some time meditating under the instruction of your teacher, you will be given the experience of meditating on your own for a short time to build your confidence, and the session ends with further one to one discussion with your teacher.
You then know enough to go home and practise on your own, morning and evening. However, experiences at home will vary, bringing up questions and doubts in your mind. You therefore return with everyone else who learned on the first day for three group sessions of up to 2.5 hours each.

First Group Meeting: Verifying Correct Practice

This and the following meetings build up your understanding and confidence by reference to the group’s experiences in and out of meditation (you don’t have to speak if you don’t want to!). You will learn how to recognise correct practice, and practical details such as how to begin and end meditation, when best to meditate, when you can do extra, and how to deal with noise or disturbances.

Second Group Meeting: Understanding the Mechanics of Meditation

This session is for most people a major break-through as you begin to understand the intimacy of the mind/body connection, how accumulated stress and tension is released from the nervous system and the effect of this on mental experience. The role of thoughts in meditation begins to be understood, leading to enhancement of experience and satisfaction.

Third Group Meeting: Developing Higher States of Consciousness – The Spiritual Mechanics of Nature

Again with reference to our experiences, we examine the cumulative benefits of effortless yogic meditation in terms of the development of our full human potential (“enlightenment”). We begin to discover the wonderful truth of who we really are according to Yoga, and how Nature’s invincible force of evolution will support our every thought and action and the effortless fulfillment of our deepest desires if we allow it to happen.

Although you can practise on your own at home, to gain maximum enjoyment and progress we recommend you stay in touch with us.
