Q&A

A Q&A with Bob Roth, our CEO

TM is a simple, natural, effortless technique practiced for 20 minutes, twice a day, while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It allows the active thinking mind to settle inward to experience a naturally calm, peaceful level of awareness while the body gains profound rest.

A Message from David Lynch

I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity, and happiness deep within. This level of life is sometimes called "pure consciousness" - it is treasury. And this level of life is deep within us all.
