"I feel more connected"

Dr Marion Roden - Occupational Physician, SmithKline Beecham"I still find it amazing that a technique that is as effortless as cutting butter with a hot knife can be so powerful in its effects. Since I started Transcendental Meditation I feel more connected, more optimistic, more serene, more competent, and more effective. And these beneficial effects continue to grow."
- Dr Marion Roden, Occupational Physician, SmithKline Beecham

Donovan“Healing benefits”

"I am a much easier person to live with"

Sir John Harvey-Jones - Broadcaster and former Chairman of ICI"I believe in Transcendental Meditation. I have always told the truth when asked, and when I believe something can help I feel obliged to say so ... My daughter Gaby had tried Transcendental Meditation and persuaded me to try it too, even before my first stroke. [Now] I am a much easier person to live with. To coin a phrase, I don't make a drama out of a crisis. If I gave it up now, my wife would leave me."
- Sir John Harvey-Jones (16 April 1924 – 9 January 2008), formerly broadcaster and Chairman of ICI [Evening Standard, 17 February 1998]

David Lynch“Anger lifted”

"When I started meditating I had a real anger in me, and I would take this out on my first wife. Two weeks after I started meditating, this anger lifted."
– Dr David Lynch, award-winning film maker

 

“My blood pressure had decreased significantly”

“A month after regular Transcendental Meditation sessions, I’d given up my 30-a-day smoking habit, without any withdrawal symptoms. Five months later, my blood pressure had decreased significantly without any medicine or extra exercise. I was also sleeping better, has fewer asthma attacks, and found my IBS had eased.”
– Sarah-Jane Quick, self-employed
Healthy magazine, September 2007

“An essential tool to help deal with the stress”

chris Davies“I have been practising TM for almost 34 years. In 1988 I founded Uretek UK Ltd and now employ 50 people. I have found that the deep rest and relaxation of Transcendental Meditation provides an essential tool to help deal with the stress of running a complex and demanding business."
– Chris Davies, CEO, Uretek

“I now fall asleep instantly”

"As a single parent in full-time work, I found myself over-reacting to my young daughter's naughtiness in a way that was out of all proportion to the crime!. After learning Transcendental Meditation I no longer yelled and jumped up and down at her mild misbehaviour. Also it had always taken me an hour or so to get to sleep but I now fall asleep instantly! If I feel tired, meditating revives me."
– Leigh Hicks, teacher and single parent

“I have seen literally thousands of people gain benefit from TM”

I learnt TM 25 years ago and without doubt it is the best thing I ever did. I have regularly practised the technique every morning and every evening and continue to gain great benefit. After practising TM I feel refreshed and ready to tackle life's problems, and have no idea how I would have managed as a full time GP without this technique to reduce stress and charge up my batteries. I have seen literally thousands of people gain benefit from TM and recommend it without hesitation.

Dr Elizabeth Young, GP, London

“My mind has been clearer so I'm more efficient”

“I learnt Transcendental Meditation many years ago when I was teaching in a school in Birmingham. I didn't tell any of the people I worked with that I was learning the technique but within a few weeks various colleagues had noticed a change in the way I dealt with things. They pointed out that I was cooler and calmer in stressful situations and when juggling with the many tasks that a Primary school teacher has to tackle. One colleague said they had noticed that I just seemed to be smiling so much more. I was amazed that other people, who I didn't know me that well, had noticed the transformation – on the outside – that I was beginning to feel on the inside.
– Annie, schoolteacher

“ I’d like to see TM being used for prevention of chronic diseases”

“What I would like to see, based on this research and the couple of hundred other studies, is people learning and practising Transcendental Meditation as a preventive modality. The UK is an ageing population like the US, with the baby boomers reaching their senior years now. I’d like to see Transcendental Meditation being used for prevention of chronic diseases, like cardiovascular disease, which is the number one cause of death in the UK, the US, and the world".
– Dr Robert Schneider, MD, FACC
Director, Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention
Herald, Glasgow, 18th May 2005
