Millions of people of all ages, religions, and nationalities have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique<\/a> over the past more than 50 years. Each person has been taught to meditate through a personalized course of instruction by specially qualified teachers. Each teacher has completed an intensive advanced course of instruction, lasting up to six months, in residence.<\/p>\n

Maharishi trained more than 40,000 people to teach the TM technique; many of them attended training courses in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

From 1970 through 1973 in the United States, Maharishi held several courses with many thousands of participants at Humboldt State College<\/a> in northern California, and at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The course schedules allowed ample time for participants to ask Maharishi questions about anything and everything: from the deep mechanics of meditation and the nature of higher states of consciousness to the role of art and science in society and the value of meditation in relationships.<\/p>\n

In the above short video clip, Maharishi talks about how meditation enhances, and ultimately brings to fulfillment, relationships. Maharishi says:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the individual has fully developed potential he’ll enjoy friendships, relationships, and marriage to the fullest extent. … Therefore the key to relationships is to take care of our own Self. We meditate and then our potentiality is being used more and more through practice, and then a time will come when we are using our full potential and we have a fully developed heart and mind, and with a fully developed heart and mind all relationships will be enjoyed just because we are able to give maximum of ourselves to others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
