What surprised me the most about TM is how easy it is to meditate. that doesn't mean every time I transcend, sometimes my thoughts get it the way, but I let it, I accept it, and I don't fight it.. and its still a great meditation because of it. In addition, I have experienced mores days with less pain and I attribute that to me meditating.

In person training

I absolutely loved my in person training! Zanna is fantastic & truly took the time to listen and answer my many questions!

She is extremely empathetic and accommodating too! She went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed and included my service dog into things too!

She took time to help me understand the app & scheduled my checkin before leaving also!

I truly appreciate the opportunity I had with her for the TM training!

I am incredibly grateful to have learned from such an inspiring meditation teacher Lynn Kaplan( Walnut Creek). Their calm presence, patience, and deep knowledge make every session meaningful and easy to follow. They create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their experience level.

The techniques they teach are practical and have helped me feel more peaceful, focused, and better able to manage daily stress. Their genuine care for each student and dedication to sharing the benefits of meditation truly stand out.

I highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking to develop a consistent meditation practice and bring more balance, clarity, and positivity into their life.

My Mother and I did an in person set of sessions with Sonette in Santa Fe. She was wonderful! Such a peaceful and personal setting, patient and informative instruction coupled with In App learning. We are sticking to the twice daily schedule of meditation and feel more and more confident in our progress to clearing the mind for ideal transcendence.

I recently worked with Vidya & Noah to learn the TM technique. They are both great, patient, attentive and very thorough. After learning the technique, I left their office fully confident and truly understanding how TM actually works. I am truly thankful to the both of them for their time. They made this learning process effortless and without judgement. If you are on the fence, let me (gently ;)) push you over, everyone needs TM!

TM and chronic pain

I typically have very high anxiety. TM helps my brain calm down and not worry about the stressors of the day, and let them go at the end of the day. It is a challenge at times getting going due to my chronic pain.
