Transcendental Meditation

I couldn't be happier with my decision to start my TM journey. And I couldn't be happier with the teacher that has introduced me to this meditation, Anne-Mareike. She is loving, caring, enthusiastic, attentive. The ritual created a connection for life between us.
After many attempts to engage with other meditation practices, I finally feel I found the method I need to reach my goals with meditation: stress and anxiety management, feeling more calm, being more insightful. I recommend it for whoever needs a help.
Although the cost of the training is high, it's an investment for life. It's worth it.

A clean well lit up-to-date space. A good setting for TM talks and meditation. Today's presenter, Leigh Badgely, is erudite, has a sense of humour and sets a lively pace. In many repects TM is a simple practise but interpretations by practisers varies widely. Leigh and other facilitators keep the core message focussed.

Before I came to TM center, I tried to learn meditation using apps or following online guided videos. But TM meditation is so easy and worked right away. What makes it even better is the teachers there, Leigh not only taught me how to do it, I also felt that she cared about me as a person. Anne is amazing too, my conversation with her has always been positive. I feel this is a very supportive and nurturing community.:)

There are very few things in life one can do that proves to be such a huge impact with so little effort from one self-

After years on and off practising my version of TM and other types of meditation I decided that I needed to take the next step and properly learn Transcendental Meditation. I am so greatfull that I made that decision. Though other types of meditation have positively impacted my life already, TM has completely taken me to the next level. I have noticed changes in my interpersonal relationships, decision making, energy levels, sleep, mood the list goes on and on. All this very quickly- It's easy to be skeptical but the improvements keep coming and proving themselves. There is no need for skepticism.

The initial sessions are very beautiful and calming. The small group meditation/ teaching sessions are deeply relaxing. My teacher Anne-Mareike is very sweet and knowledgeable- She made it so comfortable and easy. I learned a great deal, with ease. And that is the beauty of TM. So, easy.

Deciding to pursue truly learning Trancedental Meditation has been an incredible blessing. The benefits have already proved themselves and continue to suprise me. The ease of the technique, and the great teaching, atmosphere at the w 8th location; 1 of a kind. Cannot give this enough stars and praise.

Immersive experience with all the guidance needed. The center has dedicated and experienced people. The best meditation technique I’ve ever tried. I had Anne-Mareike as an instructor and she was phenomenal.

For me TM has taken away the eczema I had on my hand for years, and could not get rid of, and taken away extreme stomach pains and stomach illnesses I was experiencing, due to the stress I felt over the death of my father. I have experienced a clarity of mind I never had before, as well as a balancing of my mind, where my emotions and logic seem to be both there simultaneously. I have felt a decrease in anxiety, and a strengthening with in myself. This strengthening of self has enabled me to feel much more open to people, and feel much more loving. I now am feeling much freer of judging others and felt quite a shift in being able to love. It continues to give me clarity about what I really believe, what I really think, what my true beliefs are about life etc. I do generally feel quite energized by TM. I also have experienced a waking up to my innate true nature with in, and this has helped me feel spiritually aligned. I have experienced all these benefits with in the last 6 months since I first learned it. I also notice that I can feel stressed or overly emotional and then I meditate and I am aware of an innate well being and peace. I look forward to doing this for a long time, and the continual benefits I will experience. Bria Forbes, Vancouver, BC.

I recently attended the TM Course here in Vancouver. I was really impressed with the staff and so far, just over a week in, I have had some great results. Overall I feel more rested and calmer. I am noticing my behaviours more and feel like there is more space to think before reacting. Anne-Marieke is a wonderful teacher and you can feel how much she loves what she does. Thank you TM Vancouver for giving me a great tool to navigate life's daily stresses.

My short time practising transcendental meditation has been life changing. In a short amount of time I already have more clarify and I'm not as stressed as before and my anxiety is improving. My teacher Anne-Mareike has the gift of lighting up a dark room. Truly grateful.

Great experience! I've never succeeded with any other meditation techniques due to the busy life style and my mind is always filled with thoughts. And that's where I was running into the issues when I couldn't clear my mind. Now that I don't have to chase my thoughts I can enjoy TM at the same time. And what I found eventually that the whole process organizes my way of thinking and some times my mind gives me the breaks. Feels natural. I'm happy I made this choice. I'm also happy about the teachers and their style at this location. I've been to a few different introductory sessions and teacher-student component is vital to me. Good luck on your journey.

To me, TM is an absolutely blissful experience. There are so many ways TM affects my life but to keep it simple, I will share 3 things:

1. Through TM, I found happiness and contentment. Never before I experienced life like this before. It's a pure bliss of being.
2. My body gets very well rested and through that I am healing and I get to find my energy twice a day.
3. I've learned the effortless approach to life. Things come and go naturally and it's all for the betterment of life.

It's sort of like you get to dip yourself in the source of life. Until you experience it, TM is difficult to understand. But it's easy after all. Life becomes more beautiful. I highly recommend it to you.

I've tried different meditation techniques and TM is certainly the best. Easy, Effortless and powerful. I am more creative, and my life has flow. Anne-Mareike is a wonderful teacher. I am glad I have TM in my life.

Absolutely best decision I made besides marrying my wife! Will change your life that words can't even begin to describe. I have noticed major positive changes right away. Top quality people at Van center.
