   • Why TM is so effective for stress and anxiety
   • What happens during TM
   • Why anyone can practice TM
   • Why TM works from the start
2. Meet privately with a certified TM teacherThis free personal discussion normally takes place right after the intro talk, and can also be done virtually.
3. Take the TM course To ensure the success of each student, the Transcendental Meditation technique is taught exclusively by certified teachers over four consecutive sessions. The first session of the TM course is always in-person, but the following three can be done either in person or at home with our interactive digital content and live video meetings with your TM teacher (availability varies by location).
