Now here is Oprah talking to Dr Oz about her take on TM recently …
Scientific research suggests TM is foremost among meditation techniques. And a brand-new heart disease study finds a 48% reduction in the risk of death by heart disease or stroke. You can find inner peace and better health at the Houghton TM Centre in Joburg.

Dr Norman Rosenthal said to Jenny Crws Williams on 702 recently: “it’s just a pleasure, it’s easy, there’s an effortlessness about it. That’s the first thing. The second thing is the potency of it. I recommend it often to my patients. In one week my wife noticed the difference. She noticed I don’t get angry as quickly. I don’t get revved up.”
Russell Simmons had this to say in a recent blog: “I have been a meditator for about 12 years. It has given me energy, strength, health, wisdom, and access to my own inner stillness, inner silence, inner bliss. It is my connection to myself; it is my connection to the universe. About two years ago, I visited a school in South Africa where all the students practiced one particular form of meditation–Transcendental Meditation (TM). They were bright, alert, energized with life.”

my intentions are good – and I try to meditate – deep down I know there are awesome benefits and I desperately need to meditate!! So I try to focus on my breathing – but knowing the clown that I am – I start breathing to a rhythm and then the tune makes me break out in song – or I start making shopping lists in my head and before you know it – I’m up again. Will you be able to teach me how to REALLY MEDITATE!!
Maria – we have heard your story thousands of times. TM is very special in this regard. YES we can.
I learned TM when I was four and did it until high school, I never went further and now want to start doing it properly and have taught my children the way I was taught as a kid, I would like to attend one of your talks, can I bring my children along or should I come alone. I would like us to also join as a family (do you provide special family rates?) Many thanks Vanessa
Bring your kids if they are over 10 or so … yes and we do have special family rates.

Hi there
I went to one of the centres in town yesterday and had a 10minute meditation with Richard. It was such a wonderfull feeling that I was ready for bed after the session. I would like to do the TM course but would appreciate it if you could give me more information of a center in the Wesrand (Krugersdorp area).

Hi, I have just finished listening to a talk show with Jenny Cruis-Williams on 702, about TM.
I have chronic depression and my husband and both sons all have ADD. I would like to attend your talk to find out how TM can help us.
Many thanks
Lesley
This will help you so much. You’ll just need to call 011 483 0684 – its a free talk bout TM and how to go about learning – but you need to book.
My TM and yoga has become increasingly important to me as I mature. Having a reliable road to a place of safety and solace is beyond price. Every decision I make is made in this light . I just cannot lose.
I have been meditating for the last 20years. I want to check on my mantra. I also had a huge car accident and needs to balance myself again and a general check . Please let me know what the costs are and when i have to make an appointment.
Do you do Reiki as well? Or can you refer me to a centre or master.
Kind Regards
Marina

I would like to join a meditation group in Johannesburg. I have done the 10 day Vipassana meditation course in the Western Cape but would really like to find a place and group where I can go to meditate on a weekly basis. Please help, if you can.
Thank you
Hi Taya – I’ve emailed you. Great to hear from a Vipassana person.
What are the costs involved?
Less than you think for something that will, over your lifetime, save you half of what the general population spends on health care. The benefits are just that enormous. It depends on individual circumstances – we work a package for you at the introductory talk.
i am a Tm’er but have not been active for many years. i would like to start again and bring my husband – please advise when your intro talks happen
