Take Your Experience to the Next Level with an Advanced Technique of the TM Program

TM Advanced Techniques are offered for your convenience in conjunction with some of our retreats

“The purpose of Advanced Techniques is to take the experience to another, higher level. Advanced Techniques are like fertilizers; fertilizers bring better fruit to every tree. To enjoy greater achievement and fulfillment in life, take advantage of this beautiful program of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness.” —Maharishi
Dear Meditators,
We are delighted to announce that Advanced Techniques of the TM® program are offered in conjunction with some of our TM retreats. It is ideal if you can attend the retreat and get an Advanced Technique, but you can also get an Advanced Technique by coming just for the Advanced Technique instruction sessions. You may also be able to get a TM Advanced Technique when sponsored by your local TM Center.
Please Note: TM Advanced Technique instruction is a separate offering from the retreat. TM Advanced Techniques has its own fee structure (see below) and is not included in the TM retreat fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q: What are Advanced Techniques?
|
A: Like the TM technique, Advanced Techniques are easily-practiced mental techniques that accelerate personal growth. During TM, we experience a fourth state of consciousness, a state of restful alertness that dissolves stress, enhances brain functioning, and balances the body and emotions. Advanced Techniques speed up the integration of this state with our regular daily activity, bringing faster results from our TM practice.
Through the Advanced Techniques, we enhance our ability to experience finer levels of thought—to develop finer perception while becoming more and more familiar with the experience of our own silent Self. As our conscious mind thereby becomes more infused with this pure field of consciousness, and our perception becomes more enriched, our thoughts and actions spontaneously become more powerful and effective, which results in greater fulfillment of desires in daily life. Advanced Techniques accelerate growth to higher states of consciousness by bringing about a more efficient absorption of pure consciousness into the active mind than TM does by itself.
|
A: There are four Advanced Techniques — all developed and refined by Maharishi over many years. The first is called the Night Technique and is done before sleep. The second, third, and fourth Advanced Techniques are simple procedures that you effortlessly incorporate into your 20‑minute TM practice.
|
Q: Do I learn them all at once or one at a time?
|
A: One at a time and in sequence. You’ll practice an Advanced Technique at least two to four months before adding the next one.
|
Q: Who teaches the Advanced Techniques?
|
A: Specially trained, highly experienced TM teachers.
|
Q: Who can learn, and how do I know if I’m ready?
|
A: You must have practiced TM regularly, twice a day, for a minimum of the last two months to be eligible to apply for an Advanced Technique. You do not have to be a long-time or “advanced” meditator to learn an Advanced Technique. Each technique is simple—easy to learn, easy to practice—and, best of all, enjoyable! That said, if you’d like our advice regarding your personal readiness, just give us a call.
|
Q: What is the course structure?
|
A: The course consists of three sessions:
-
First, an hour-long orientation meeting
-
Second, personal instruction in the appropriate Advanced Technique (2–3 hours)
-
Third, a checking meeting the following day to answer questions and verify the correctness of your practice (2–2.5 hours)
|
