What People SayTestimonials“I encourage all my patients to practice Transcendental Meditation. Experience shows, and research confirms, that it is the best vaccine against stress-related conditions. Regular practice keeps you inwardly settled despite being surrounded by chaos.” —Dr. Donn Brennan (MRCGP), General Practitioner“For 15 years, I was Chief Executive of an international software company. The pressure to deliver results was unrelenting. TM helped me to focus on what was important, both from a business and a personal point of view. It also helped me to handle the stresses of daily life.” —Pat O' Reilly, MD of ‘ceili.ie’“TM is the very best thing I have done for myself. I learned it after a particularly demanding period of child-rearing. My husband and children noticed the improvements even before I did — I was calmer, more relaxed and contented. I still am.” —Aideen Taylor, Homemaker“I was sceptical of TM to begin with but felt I needed something to help me to get in touch with my inner self. I was surprised at how helpful it has been to me in my daily life. It gives me a sense of inner calm, clarity of mind. It gives me energy if I’m lagging plus many other things. I feel I have found a secret resource within myself that I can call upon easily when I need.” —Ellemarie Coleman, Midwife“I found TM a great help in meeting the demands and pressures of student life. It reduced my stress levels and improved my ability to concentrate.” —Cheryl Garrett, UCD Graduate“Is mór an cabhair atá faighte agam as TM le tamall de bhlianta. Neartaíonn sé gach gné den saol. Dá mhéid a fhéachaim isteach insan eolas atá curtha ar fáil dúinn ag Maharishi, is ea is mó mo mheas air. Ní éireoidh mé as macnamh TM go deo.” —Donal Hurley, Website Developer“Transcendental Meditation unearths the necessary energy alertness, flexibility and creativity for operating within the educational system. I regard the few minutes practice, before and after school, as very appropriate preparation for the teacher's progress and survival.” —Sean Byrne, Primary School Teacher“Having practised TM and the TM SIDHI PROGRAMME for 27 years I find it hard to describe the magnitude of change it has brought to my life other than to say it has changed everything ; in a phrase perhaps it has made me a completely happy and enriched person enjoying all aspects of life” —Derek Crampton, Businessman“I think it is more than coincidence that in the 25 years I've been practising TM regularly, I haven't had to take one day off work due to sickness.” —Pat Kelly, Sales Representative“When I commenced meditating I suffered from a constant, severe form of bronchial asthma, which I developed as a child. This has now improved to such an extent that for much of the year I do not need any medication at all. I believe the enhancement of my mind body balance as a result of regular meditation naturally and instinctively guided me to adopt a life style and treatment options which led to this health improvement.” —Sean Toomey, Lighting Design Consultant“I have been practising Transcendental Meditation regularly, morning and evening, since c.1968. I am originally from Sandymount in Dublin and in my youth lots of my friends learned to practise TM. I saw the benefits they experienced, so I learned. It certainly calmed me down and helped me find a purpose in life. “I would very much recommend the practice to anyone, especially "wild child" personalities like myself. But it has to be practised regularly as taught by the TM teacher. If possible, go on a TM residential course, as these will help considerably. They also provide a forum to ask fellow meditators about their opinions and interests. “This method is simply a very old practice brought to the western world by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to try and help individuals find a purpose or calmness within themselves.” —Colm Cronin, Mayo Businessman“TM has opened up a new world of good health and well-being for me. I am so much more in control of my life and realise that there is something I can do to reduce my stress levels and feel more relaxed. It is such a blessing — I am grateful to have found it. “Where my work is concerned, I feel more relaxed; my concentration and focus is sharper. I seem to be able to approach my work with new found inspiration and creativity as well as artistic instinct. “In general I would say I have an underlying feeling of blissfulness in my life. I am definitely more balanced and optimistic.” —Aisling Drury Byrne, on the Staff of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Dublin“I learned TM in February 2004. I saw it as an investment in my future health and career but over the years, it has become more than that. For me, it's a way to retreat from a busy schedule and return refreshed and ready to go again. It helps me to see the bigger picture and not get worked up about things that previously would have bothered me. As a musician, I feel that it helps me to perform better and as a teacher, it allows me to approach the classroom in a relaxed state of mind which, I believe, in turn has a positive effect on my students. I would highly recommend TM to anyone who is looking for an easy and effective way to bring balance into all aspects of their lives.” —Rachel Robinson, Musician & Teacher“Since learning TM six years ago my health has dramatically improved, I have not been to see my GP in all that time; colds and flu's are now a thing of the past. Along with the very noticeable improvement in my health, my career has also greatly improved. TM has helped me to forge a career in banking and to complete numerous exams with the Institute of Bankers with little effort. I cannot recommend TM highly enough.” —Stephen Raftery“TM expands my horizons. Ideas, concepts, wishes and plans once viewed as expressions of an over active imagination and seen as ridiculously fanciful are now accepted as normal and achievable.” —Adrian Hamilton, Businsessman“Practising TM, you always feel that your life is moving in a forward direction. This cuts across many aspects of your life, general wellbeing, social interactions, intellectual acumen, etc. The process is usually gradual but noticeable nevertheless.” —Philip Magnier |
