Practice

Choose a quiet and comfortable place to sit with your eyes closed. 

Sit in a comfortable posture with your back straight and hands resting on your lap. 

TM involves the use of a specific mantra assigned individually by a certified TM teacher. 

Mantras are divine sounds or words that serve as a focal point for the mind during meditation. 

Begin the meditation by silently repeating the mantra in your mind. 

Allow the mantra to be repeated effortlessly without concentrating on it.

Effortless Flow

The essence of TM is effortlessness. Allow the mantra to come and go effortlessly, like a gentle stream of thought. 

If the mind wanders, gently return to the repetition of the mantra. 

Twenty Minutes of Practice

Practice TM for about 20 minutes twice a day—once in the morning and once in the evening. 

The morning session helps set a positive tone for the day, while the evening session aids in releasing accumulated stress. 

Closing the Meditation

After 20 minutes, gradually stop repeating the mantra and sit with your eyes closed for a few moments. 

Slowly open your eyes and take a moment to reorient yourself before resuming daily activities.
