SEE GOOGLE REVIEWS on taking a course with Charles
Example:
“To do the meditation course TM, was the best decision ever. Slowly, it will transform your life, if you practice regularly. It’s easy, you will find the time to do it, as once learnt, your body and mind will crave it. To do the meditation course with Charles was an honour. He is the best person to be around with and learn the TM technique from. I highly recommend it, the only regret you will ever have is that you didn’t do it earlier!”
OVERALL BENEFITS …
“The benefits in both my business and personal life from learning Transcendental Meditation is unparalleled with anything else I’ve ever done. Simply life changing – I feel a profound contentment and inner peace I’ve never felt before – I wish I’d done it sooner.”
“I feel I have more energy and I sleep better. Also, I notice a clarity of mind and calmness that lasts throughout the day. I seem to get on better with people and am less likely to get angry about situations. I realise that before learning TM I was a little depressed; but this has gone now. If I do wake up a little anxious, then the TM sorts this out, which is such a relief. Lastly, I have received a slight improvement in my arthritis symptoms too.”
“I was so impressed with the benefits that my brother experienced, that my wife and I learned, quickly followed by several family members. Ever since, I have recommended it to everyone that I come into contact with. It is truly a life enhancing experience in every way.“
DEEP PEACE, BLISS
“It is far easier to experience transcending than to try and describe it from the level of the mind! It is an experience at the level of feeling of such a depth of stillness and peace which leaves behind the often continual interference which we are so used to experiencing from our mind. Once experienced, it’s like going home: we want to revisit time and again. It’s the feeling of being in the ‘now’, of being totally present, where there are no problems, it’s ‘perfection’. It’s a feeling of expanded awareness, of inner bliss.”
BETTER SLEEP AND GREATER CONFIDENCE
“TM has given me inner peace that I didn’t believe that I have. You probably have a car, and every year you service that car. But you won’t service your own body and your own self.
“Well I have have always worked in the financial business, for the last 30-odd years in London and New York in Wall Street There has always been a point in my life, every few years, when It might have too intense.
“My immediate impression of TM when I learnt it, was how quickly I had reacted to it. I would say since that time I have been an advocate of talking about meditation because TM works extremely well. The sleep that alluded me for the best part of 20 years was dramatically enhanced within about a week; and it has continued.
“I am now creating my own company … I don’t feel that apprehension: just ‘Give it a go! You can do it! This is your life.’ TM has given me that – not a recklessness, not a foolhardiness but a sense of calmness about the way you feel and react to the present and the future. That for me is a secondary benefit that I never believed could happen.”
MEDITATION – CONFUSED?
“Despite teaching meditation for the past five years to a whole bunch of people, I still don’t know what the hell I’m doing. That list includes refugees, asylum seekers, people with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, children, friends and one dog. Of all the people I’ve taught meditation to, I’m pretty sure not one of them continues the practice to this day. Not even the dog.
“Turns out I completely missed the point until I stumbled upon Transcendental Meditation via a Facebook ad. I signed up to the course immediately. Like an impulse.
“TM puts everything into perspective with crystal clear precision. In fact, not long after my initiation, all the things I thought I needed in life came naturally, including: quitting social media and never looking back, landing the dream job, and finding my people and place. I fell in love, moved house and I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been — mentally, physically and spiritually.
“We live in a world that is not conducive to meditation. Yet, real meditation is effortless. It took my busy mind a whole year to understand that.
“The more I meditate the more love throws the clutter out. It might have taken ten years, but I wouldn’t have cared if it had taken another fifty. In a world of quick fixes and ‘gotta gotta gotta’, TM is a slow burner. However, for anyone serious about finding lasting peace and true happiness, it’s a fool-proof process.”
PARENTHOOD
“As a single parent in full-time work, I found myself over-reacting to my young daughter’s naughtiness in a way that was out of all proportion to the crime! This made us both unhappy and caused me to take up TM. After practising TM I no longer yelled and jumped up and down at her small misbehaviours. Also it had always taken me an hour or so to get to sleep but I now fall asleep instantly, be it bedtime or a cat nap! If I feel tired, meditating revives me.”
PERFORMANCE
“I think feeling well rested and feeling on top of my game all of the time is the really key thing about it. Personally and professionally I am often dealing with a lot of stressful situations. Before TM small things would go wrong and I would have a panic, and you know ‘Oh, what are we going to do?’ and it was just a terrible feeling. But now I feel I am in control and I can assess the situation and make the best of it, and keep everyone calm at the same time. I feel really strong and level emotionally.”
STRESS
“Learning TM with you was truly a great thing to happen in our lives – thank-you. The benefits it has brought us, however, is ability to change mental state and go to a tranquil place to find respite from the constant anxiety background ‘noise’. I have noticed a significant change in the way I approach my life and work which I am convinced has derived from TM and the fascinating things you taught us. I now constantly seek to achieve deep level and holistic improvements … though my work is still very demanding and sometimes a struggle, it is now much more meaningful and exciting for me than it was before.”
DEPRESSION
“My experience was life changing. For many years I had suffered depression … and found myself alternately wanting to harm others, harm myself, or curl up in a ball and sob …
“On learning TM, I gave up smoking instantly (yes, Day 1, no sweat, no conscious effort, and no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever — I even forgot I’d ever smoked). My blood pressure dropped without any help either. It was 115/68 and it hovers round 135/80 today. This from someone who’s 5ft 11, 10 stone overweight, desk-bound and nearly 50 ain’t bad. I haven’t had an asthma attack since learning TM. The only thing I’m doing differently is that I meditate.
“But, best of all, no more depression of the climbing up the walls/throw myself in front of a tube train variety. No more raging bull. …
“No: only sleep, peace, contentment, happiness, balance – the only side effects you’ll get. Anyone who’s ever felt even a fraction of my black rage, just go and find out more at your local TM centre. Maybe it’s not for you, but at least ask the questions, dot the i’s. Get yourself back.”
PTSD“I was diagnosed as having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following the death of my son and disfigurement of my daughter in a car accident in 1987. This condition includes many extremely unpleasant psychological and physical complaints. I learned TM in 1990 and although I saw improvements then, my life was chaotic and I gave it up. I returned to TM 3 weeks ago. Already I can see marked improvements. I am sleeping better, my anxiety levels, which have been horrendous for 15 years, have gone right down, my chronic headaches are disappearing, I have stopped feeling sick, I am feeling more positive and optimistic about life. I even notice that when I have a disagreement with my 23 year old daughter, I am much calmer!”
MIGRAINE
“I began suffering from migraine attacks. With each attack I was unwell for three days, and I wasn’t able to leave home and wasn’t able to work. As soon as I started TM, I noticed improvements straight away. It was amazing, and it changed my life. I haven’t had a migraine since I very first began meditating, and next year it will be two years.“
