Mitä menestyneet TM-harjoittajat sanovat
















Mitä ihmiset kertovat

Päivittäinen TM-meditaation harrastaminen 30 vuoden aikana on tullut yhtä luonnolliseksi kuin syöminen tai nukkuminen. Aika meditaatiolle löytyy itsestään, myös matkoilla. Olo on aina onnellinen ja rauhallinen TM:n harjoittamisen jälkeen. TM:n ansiosta lisääntynyt intuitio, luovuus ja sisäinen rauha helpottavat työssäni päätöksentekoa ja riskien arviointia. Ongelmat ratkeavat useimmiten kuin itsestään meditaation jälkeen. Joskus tuntuu, että jopa hyvä onnikin on lisääntynyt. Jos joku ei halua kantaa töitään mukana kotiin, niin TM on kätevä tapa todella päättää työpäivä.

Ajatushorisontin laajeneminen. Syvä rentoutuminen ja itsensä hyväksyminen. Positiivinen kiinnittyminen johonkin vaikeasti määriteltävään.
Ville Malja, Helsinki
Koen että keskittymiskyky, luovuus ja ajatusten koherenttius on noussut minulla uudelle tasolle ja olen nauttinut tästä valtavasti. Koen myös että löydän itsestäni (ja universumista :)) enemmän kiehtovia asioita joka päivä ja ymmärrän niitä paremmin – ja rikon itse kehittämiäni rajoja jotka eivät ole hyväksi luovuudelle – tai ylipäätään elämälle.
Jori Sjöroos, Turku

Jos ajatukset pyörivät, tunnen rauhaa. Vaikka ajattelua on meditaatiossakin, niin jokin aina muuttuu. Jostakin päästää irti, mikä vaivaa. Siksi se toimii ja purkaa stressiä aina pala kerrallaan.

Maailman paras työkalu elämässä. Auttanut elämässä kaikissa tilanteissa. Mm. ahdistuksessa, paniikkihäiriöissä, ihmissuhteissa, rakkaudessa ylipäätään, itsensä tutkimisessa yms monessa muussa.
