Balanse, glede og mindre stress
TM teknikken gir:
- Mer indre ro og glede.
- Evne til å være mer i flytsonen.
- Mindre stress, negative tanker og tankekjør.
- Effektiv mot søvnproblemer, angst, depresjon, utbrenthet og ptsd.
Transcendental Meditasjon (TM) er en enkel og uanstrengt teknikk. Ikke en religion eller livsstil som er kvalitetssikret gjennom 50 år med forskning. TM teknikken kan gi deg et mer gledesfylt og balansert liv.

Kurs i Transcendental Meditasjon gir bedre stressmestring
Alle er klar over de negative virkningene av stress. Det reduserer prestasjonsevnen, ødelegger relasjoner og gjør at vi sliter fysisk. Kort fortalt, det tar bort gleden i livet. I tillegg, bygger stress seg opp i nervesystemet i løpet av livet. Til og med en god nattesøvn eller en lengre ferie er ikke nok for å gi fullstendig restitusjon.
Transcendental Meditasjon vil i første omgang gi forskjellige fordeler til forskjellige mennesker, som for eksempel mindre hodepine, forbedret søvn, mer energi, eller gi bedre relasjoner, fordi hvert individ har ulike umiddelbare behov og er forskjellig. Men en fordel som alle mennesker deler er at man generelt håndterer stress-situasjoner bedre etter å ha lært Transcendental Meditasjon.

Å praktisere Transcendental Meditasjon gir en god effekt på alle deler av livet mitt. Det hjelper meg til å få mest mulig ut av alt jeg foretar meg. Som småbarnsmor er det viktig for meg å kunne være til stede og få glede av tiden jeg har med familien, samtidig som jeg er engasjert på andre områder i livet, som studier/arbeid og venner. TM gir meg energien og overskuddet til å oppnå en god balanse mellom disse områdene. Jeg har fullført mastergraden min til toppkarakterer samtidig som jeg har hatt muligheten til å nyte tiden med datteren min, venner og familie. Transcendental Meditasjon gir mer tilstedeværelse, og hjelper meg å fokusere energien på det som er viktig for å oppnå mine mål. Det fjerner stress og negative tanker, og forebygger at jeg bruker energi på unødvendige ting. Helt enkelt, helt av seg selv. Derfor anbefaler jeg Transcendental Meditasjon til alle jeg er glad i.
Heidi Klefstad
Foredragsholder
I mange år har jeg lett etter den beste måten for å finne ro og balanse i livet mitt. Har prøvd mange forskjellige teknikker uten hell. Helt til jeg fant Trancendental Meditasjon, teknikken har forandret meg som person. Jeg er blitt roligere, mer flyt i hverdagen, sover bedre, kroppen fungerer bedre, jeg er mer våken og tenker klarere. Jeg jobber som foredragsholder og har foredrag nesten hver dag og da er det så viktig å være fokusert og tilstede. Jeg merker at min meditasjon påvirker de rundt meg på en positiv måte. Må nesten si at jeg er blitt en gladere utgave av meg selv. Jeg kjenner at jeg er litt avhengig av å ta min stille stund, noe jeg ser frem til hver dag. En god avhengighet. Noe jeg vil anbefale til alle som ønsker seg mer i livet, mindre stress og en indre ro.
Utrolig takknemlig for TM!

TM gir meg ro i en hektisk hverdag.
Maria Bjerge
Mental trener, Karrierierådegiver, NLP Coach
Å lære Trancendental Meditasjon har vært en av mine aller viktigste og beste investeringer fordi jeg jobber som mental trener, kursinstruktør og rådgiver og har behov for å nullstille meg og få påfyll av egen energi for å ha mer å gi til andre.
TM for meg har blitt en vane jeg ikke vil leve uten, som gir meg mer av det jeg ønsker i livet på en naturlig og enkel måte. Et verktøy som er så lett å bruke at jeg raskt kom inn i en god rutine. TM har gitt meg mer indre styrke, indre ro og evne til å takle utfordringer og problemer på en mindre anstengende måte. Opplever at jeg innim
ellom går på en «rød løper» i livet med mange positve tilfeldigheter som er kommet tydeligere frem etter at jeg startet å meditere.
Jeg kan fra hjertet anbefale TM lærer Thomas Reinholdt.
Eirik Kalstveit, 43 år, Sivil Ingeniør.
Det viktigste utbytte jeg har av Transcendental Meditasjon er at jeg henter energi 2 ganger om dagen, noe som gjør hodet klarer og jeg er mindre mottakelig for stress. Vi har små barn og etter jeg begynte med TM har jeg merket at jeg er mer tålmodig med barna.
Caroline 24 år, jusstudent.
"Jeg har merket sterkt forbedret konsentrasjonsevne i forhold til studiene slik at jeg nå får lest mye mer og har en mye mer effektiv hverdag. Jeg begynte i januar 2014 og på eksamen samme semester fikk jeg A på eksamen"
Anders Iden, Rekrutterer.
Jeg har gjennom livet gått igjennom flere faser og har hatt mine dype daler. Har hatt jobber som har medført ekstremt mye stress og slitt med både stress og urolighet i kroppen og relativt ubalansert livsstil. Har også hatt depresjon til tider. Har tatt mange gale valg og gjort ting som en gjerne ikke har vært stolt over. Samtidig så har jo og livet gitt mye da, så alt har ikke vært bare sorgen. I forhold til dette korte innblikket så har jeg vel alltid søkt et verktøy for å komme ut av passiviteten og meningsløsheten
. Da jeg så denne annonsen for TM tok så jeg et valg: Jeg går på det og ser hva det bringer!
Jeg gikk på gratis foredrag hvor Thomas var foredragsholder. Og i løpet av denne kvelden tok jeg mitt valg om at jeg skulle gjennomføre dette. Jeg bestemte meg for at dette skulle jeg klare å meditere hver dag slik at det skulle bli en rutine.
Etter et par uker var det en betydelig forskjell i livet mitt, jeg fikk større fokus på jobb, har fått en stigende livsglede, oppfatter ting mer nyansert nå og er mer fremtidsrettet. Jeg hadde før jeg begynte en tendens til å ta meg en eller to øl om kvelden etter jobb for å slappe av, samt å se litt mye på film. Det behovet forsvant meget fort av seg selv. Jeg har også opptrådt helt annerledes overfor min sønn i denne perioden, vi har hatt en helt annen utvikling i forhold til samvær og tilstedeværelse som har gjort veldig godt for oss. Under tiden har jeg også i større grad lyttet mer til kroppen min og føler jeg på en måte gradvis inntar en mer sunnere livsstil og opplevelse av hverdagen. Mye av stresset som kommer i hverdagen er også lettere å håndtere i den grad at det ikke overstyrer mine tanker og væremåte, men at det er en del av livet som kan gjøres noe med på en positiv måte.
Selvsagt er det vanlige dager som ellers og ikke alt er rosenrødt, men TM har allerede etter noen uker gitt meg så mye på kort tid at for meg er dette noe som vil være en livsstil og en nødvendighet.
Jeg merker allerede at tankene er klarere og kroppen føles bedre, og jeg føler at jeg oppfører meg mer i tråd med den jeg innerst inne ønsker å være ovenfor meg selv og andre – en bedre utgave av meg selv.

Lege Erik Solli
Spesialist i almennmedisin
"Basert på den omfattende vitenskapelige dokumentasjonen av TM så kan jeg trygt anbefale TM som en enkel teknikk for å opprettholde god helse og forebygge sykdom. TM er en enkel metode for redusere stress. Jeg ser det som en stor fordel at undervisningen av TM er systematisert og kvalitetssikret."
Lege Charlotte Bech
"Jeg anbefaler Transcendental Meditasjon til sunne og friske mennesker som et effektivt verktøy for å få bedre helse, forbedret livskvalitet og for å forebygge sykdom. Jeg anbefaler ofte også TM til syke pasienter som et supplement til annen pågående behandling. Nettopp fordi TM gir indre ro og styrke slik at man bedre kan håndtere et sykdomsforløp."
"Jeg har dykket inn i mitt indre gjennom Transcendental Meditasjon teknikken i over 30 år. Det har forandret livet mitt, min verden. Transcendental Meditasjon er en enkel teknikk for å dykke dypt inn i deg selv for å erfare et hav av ren bevissthet, ren kreativitet, ren kunnskap. Det er en unik erfaring men samtidig veldig kjent - det er ditt eget Selv."
DAVID LYNCH | Filmskaper
"En mobillader
for kropp og sjel"
"Jeg har drevet med Transcendental Meditasjon i over 40 år. Men det er veldig vanskelig å forklare hva det er for noe. Vet du hvordan jeg beskrev det til noen? Det er som å ha ... du vet, telefonen har en lader, ikke sant? Det er som å ha en lader for hele kroppen og sinnet. Det er hva Transcendental Meditasjon er!

"For litt over et år siden jeg begynte å praktisere
TM og det har virkelig forandret alt. Når du
starter dagen din med det og slutter med det
(TM), så er det ganske kraftfullt. Tjue minutter,
du bare merker forskjellen. Når jeg blir lat og
ikke får det inn i dagen, kan jeg føle en forskjell.
Det er det første jeg gjør når jeg våkner"
JENNIFER ANISTON | Skuespiller
Sitat fra intervju med magasinet Starpulse.
"Jeg begynte å meditere som 18 åring ... Min mor tok meg til et Transcendental Meditasjon senter. Hun var før dette veldig deprimert, fordi hennes søster nylig hadde dødd. Jeg bare forteller deg dette på bakgrunn av hvor dypt deprimert at hun var, det var så ille.
Hun prøvde psykiater, hun likte ikke den ideen, var ikke åpen for det. Ingenting fungerte. Så reiste jeg til college, og etter en stund får jeg plutselig en telefon fra en kvinne som hørtes helt annerledes ut!
"Jeg vet ikke hvordan jeg skal fortelle deg hva som har skjedd i livet mitt, jeg føler meg helt utrolig '- så hun. Jeg kunne kjenne at mamma var dypt annerledes! Ekte glad, ikke bare en overflate-lykke, så da begynte jeg og å meditere."
HOWARD STERN | Radioprater og tv vert
Sitat fra Jerry Seinfeld's show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
"Jeg har aldri hatt denne følelsen før"
"Det er noe med TM, det er noe med å ha dette mantraet, det er den eneste tiden jeg har denne stillheten, det er den eneste måten jeg har klart å sitte lenge nok, og når jeg åpner øynene mine er jeg lei meg for at det har gått 20 minutter"

"Du kan ikke forestille deg hva som har skjedd i selskapet. Folk som pleide å ha migrene, har det ikke lengre. Folk sover bedre. Folk har bedre relasjoner. De ansatte samarbeider bedre. Det har vært fantastisk (uttalelse etter at alle de 400 ansatte i Oprahs selskap lærte Transcendental Meditasjon)."
OPRAH WINFREY | Medie mogul, tv vertinne, skuespiller
Sitat fra intervju med Dr Mehmet Oz, fra "the Dr. Oz Show"
"I et intervju med den bestselgende forfatteren Tim Ferriss, har den tidligere bodybuilderen, skuespiller og politiker Arnold Schwarzenegger, fortalt hvordan han lærte TM teknikken i 1977 for å overvinne stress og angst.
Etter å ha meditert daglige i ett år, hadde Schwarzeneggers angst stilnet, og han følte ikke at han lengre trengte å opprettholde sin TM praksis.
Den tidligere guvernøren i California innrømmer at dette året med intens daglig meditasjon fundamentalt endret måten han tilnærmet seg sitt liv. "Selv i dag, drar jeg fortsatt nytte av dette (året han praktiserte TM), sier Schwarzenegger"

De vitenskapelige studiene som det blir henvist til ligger nederst på siden.
Vitenskapelig forskning på Transcendental Meditasjon består av mer enn 600 studier gjennomført på over 250 uavhengige universiteter og forskningsinstitusjoner i 33 land. Disse studiene har vist en rekke fordeler for sinn, kropp atferd, og samfunnet, og har dukket opp i mange ledende, "peer reviewed" (fagfellevurderte) forskningstidsskrifter.
Hva er fagfellevurdering? Fra Norske Wikipedia: "Fagfellevurdering gjennomføres ved at manuskriptet blir sendt til vanligvis minst to forskere som jobber i samme fagfelt, og som skal vurdere manuskriptet. Disse fagfellene skriver så tilbake til utgiveren, påpeker eventuelle feil og svakheter og kommer med en anbefaling om manuskriptet skal trykkes eller ikke. Forfatteren får så enten avslag, beskjed om å rette opp feil og forbedre manuskriptet, eller manuskriptet blir antatt."

Finansiering av forskning på Transcendental Meditasjon
National Institute of health (den Amerikanske regjeringen), American Medical Association, American Hearth Association og American Psychological Association har støttet forskning på Transcendental Meditasjon. The National Institutes of Health har blant annet nylig gitt 182 millioner kroner (24$millioner US dollar) til forskning på Transcendental meditasjon.
Maharishi University of Management Research Institute i samarbeid med San Diego Veterans Administration Medical Center fikk et forskningsstipend på 18 millioner kroner ($ 2,4 millioner USD) av det Amerikanske forsvarsdepartementet for å studere effekten av Transcendental meditasjon teknikken på posttraumatisk stresslidelse hos krigsveteraner.
Publisering av forskning i "Circulation", under tittelen: "Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes"
Circulation er en vitenskapelig journal fra "the American Heart Association". Sitat fra samendraget av studien: "A 5-year randomized controlled study on patients with established coronary heart disease reported a 48% reduction in death, heart attack, and stroke in subjects in the Transcendental Meditation group compared to controls.
Meta-analyse av 16 ulike studier på Transcendental Meditasjon med 1295 deltakere
Sitat fra artikkel i Psychology Today: "Ifølge en rapport publisert i "Journal of Alternative og Complementary Medicine", en meta-analyse av TM analyserte 16 studier og 1295 deltakere, var konklusjonen at Transcendental Meditasjon fungerte bedre i å redusere alvorlig angst enn psykoterapi eller andre avspenningsteknikker ... Som en bonus, produserte også TM lavere blodtrykk, bedre søvn, bedre familieliv, mindre rusmisbruk og en bedre arbeidssituasjon."
