TM is taught by our team of fully qualified and certified teachers, led by UAE national director and executive teacher Dr Maha Emma. Dr Emma has been teaching in the Emirates since 2008, teaching many hundreds of people, including leaders in industry, healthcare, wellbeing and education. Dr Emma is also a multi-faceted therapist who specialises in a wide-range of holistic mind-body therapies that aim to produce profound healing in the body by enlivening pure consciousness, that underlies all matter, into the fabric of the physical nervous system. Four Steps to learning TM
Step 1: Attend a free information webinar with one of our fully trained teachers to find out all about TM and get answers to your questions, or watch one of pre-recorded presentations.
Step 2: Attend the first day of instruction. This is the first day of our 4- day course, taught over four consecutive days. The first day is on a one- to-one session where you will be expertly taught and guided by one of our fully certified teachers.
Step 3: Complete the remaining three days of the course either in- person or by distant-learning at home. These sessions combine thorough checking of your TM practice with deep and profound teaching of the TM process.
Step 4: Enjoy your wonderful practice at home, doing 2x20 minutes sessions daily, reassuringly knowing that you have access to continued support for your TM practice from our worldwide network of teachers in the Emirates and worldwide.

What is TM?

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless technique practised 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably.
It enables mind and body to access a special quality of rest. Over ten million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learnt TM. Anyone can learn!
What happens
when you meditate?
The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness. It is completely different to other meditation techniques as it involves no concentrating or focusing, no trying to "empty the mind".
"TM changed my life...it is the single most important thing."

Ray Dalio, Founder of hedge fund firm, Bridgewater Associates
What is TM's value
in daily life?
Stress and anxiety are harmful to health, happiness, creativity and productivity. Hundreds of published research studies on TM verify its effectiveness for reducing stress, enhancing brain function, strengthening immunity and much more.
Benefits Include:
Remove the root cause of anxiety naturally
Regular practice of Transcendental Meditation gives a calmer, more peaceful state of mind.
146 independent studies show Transcendental Meditation is significantly more effective in reducing trait anxiety than other techniques.

Scientific research shows that TM has been proven to help with insomnia
The way to break the insomnia cycle is to give the whole physiology a dose of profound inner rest and stillness. TM is highly effective at producing a state of deep inner calm. Many people report an immediate improvement in their sleep quality after learning TM.

Greater resilience to stress
When your inner resources cannot meet the demands of daily life, you get stressed. TM increases tolerance and the ability to recover from stressful situations.
Decrease your stress hormones naturally
TM's effect on cortisol: this landmark study published in Hormones and Behavour found that Transcendential Meditation reduces cortisol by 30%.

Increase your happiness hormones

Improve your clarity of mind & creativity
TM is one of the most effective methods for time management. An orderly mind prioritises and does not suffer from time pressure, naturally enhancing creativity.
Effortlessly connect with your deepest inner creativity.
A major research study at American University found that TM creates alpha brain waves. The Mayo Clinic describes alpha brain waves as being associated with a "relaxed, happy, focused" state of mind.
That's why people who learn TM often say they're more focused, creative and productive in activity than ever before. Many of them previously tried other forms of meditation. The chart below illustrates a key difference between TM and other techniques.

Common Questions

Imagine trying to learn a natural golf swing or the violin. You know how valuable it is for a good teacher to show you the proper technique.
The TM technique is easy to learn, but requires personalized interactive guidance. For this reason, it's taught only through one-on-one instruction by a certified TM teacher.
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 the TM technique.
The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, through quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness — pure consciousness.
No problem at all. Unlike other forms of meditation, TM practice 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 sceptical. That's because it automatically and effortlessly allows your active thinking mind to settle down to a state of deep inner calm.
