Tm Reviews

This to me is a slow to grow and become a part of my life I felt a lot was covered both online and on zoom with a push to achieve results I have had both easy and more difficult days to enjoy the mediation isnt joy the end game Find a way to make the journey be you want to make not HAVE to achieve on such a tight tie line It defeats the purpose

I have not gotten anything noticeable out of this Maybe I am doing it wrong

Doing it mainly on zoom is not what I would call a good value for 540 A real group with actual personal contact would be more effective I know that

Initially too rushed and time intensive- could not manage Was not able to reschedule course for future date and when I could more fully participate

I enjoyed the training right up to the part of followup I am a busy person who does not have a lot of free time Maybe I should have done it all at once but after I received my mantra I didn t feel I needed additional follow up

Liked the course Liked the teachers Can t see how it s worth 800 dollars Definitely do not see the value at all feels like a scam

The practice of meditation itself is good and likely more than three stars but feels a bit early to be sure The TM center in Brooklyn is clean and nice and our instructor Josh was very kind My issue is with the push for the classes and the cost I felt that the classes were a bit redundant and it was useless and honestly painful to watch the videos of Maharishi I am aware that he was the one who made the practice of TM mainstream but his speeches were uninspiring and useless to see let alone the fact that he was a total charlatan and alleged creep For a practice that could be so useful I could see how this experience and this man Maharishi could turn people away I also think I could have the same quality of meditations without the repeated classes which means I probably didn t have to invest that kind of money If this is about peace and cosmic consciousness it should be an accessible practice that doesn t turn people away because of propagating and promoting a grotesque man

The material is easy to follow and the app is useful For the time commitment its a bit tedious if I m being honest Very basic info that is super repetitive The time commitment was sold as 90 mins per day for the first 4 or so days In fact its more like a 2 5-4 hours per day commitment and if you take out the 40 mins of actual meditation the rest could be easily taught in less than an hour There is no way to speed up the lessons online Do I find the mediation useful and beneficial Yes without a doubt But I also believe the course is drawn out to give the perception of more value because it was pricey I didn t feel that my time or my intelligence was respected valued

The introductory videos were repetitive and unnecessarily verbose There was not much content The in person instructor was very nice I am glad to have learned Tm and will integrate it in my meditation practice Currently I still prefer NSDR and MBSR

I think it would be great to get a better sense of the community that is on line Like how many people and if possible from what areas even if it s not a complete list just getting a better sense of the community is the whole point I think of the collective experience What would be awesome is if you would allow us to meditate with the cameras on I am part of a meditation group that does this and even if we don t have control over our mics just the visual is powerful
