Join us for Meditate Northern Virginia

Meditate America is a nation-wide initiative, in collaboration with the David Lynch Foundation. To boost creativity, energy, and revitalization—as well as reduce toxic stress—the TM course is available for up to 50% off until November 12.

TM is taught by a non-profit organization committed to making TM’s benefits available to as many people as possible. To honor this mission, the TM course fee can be paid in 4 installments, and a reduced price is available for full-time students. In addition, with generous donations, we make scholarships available to first responders, veterans, and those in need of financial assistance.

Imagine trying to learn a musical instrument or sport. You know how valuable it is for a good teacher to show you the proper technique. Similarly, individualized instruction by certified TM instructors ensures a personal and intuitive learning experience, allowing students to learn the technique with ease and precision, and to establish a lasting TM practice. There is no other way to learn the authentic TM technique — and there is no evidence that anything else provides the full range of benefits documented in the published research on TM.

The TM technique allows your mind to naturally transcend, or easily settle inward, to quieter and quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness.

No problem at all. Unlike other forms of meditation, the TM technique involves no concentration, no control of the mind, no contemplation, no monitoring of thoughts. It is completely effortless.

The TM technique's effectiveness is the same whether you believe it will work or are completely skeptical. That's because it automatically and effortlessly allows your active thinking mind to settle down to a state of deep inner calm.

In mindfulness meditation you monitor your thoughts, feelings, breathing, and bodily sensations, without judging them. This keeps your mind engaged on the active level of thinking, as do many other forms of meditation. What we don’t often realize is that, beneath the active surface, the mind already has a deep level of calm, like the settled depth of the ocean beneath the waves. The Transcendental Meditation technique facilitates transcending –effortlessly opening our awareness to this deeper, peaceful level of the mind.
