Creating Coherence Meeting
2025-09-02 14:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto)
With a TM Teacher John Cowhig and Special Guest Dr. Neil Paterson.
Last week our guest, Dr. Neil Paterson, explained how Maharishi personally intervened to prevent potentially catastrophic conflicts between nations, including the Cuban missile crisis and other potential flashpoints. He explained the coherence-creating effect on a society when large groups meditate or practice the advanced TM programmes together.
This Tuesday, 2nd September, he will present a slide show of several such large groups we have created around the world, including in Nepal, India, Tanzania, Uganda, and other countries.
Neil is the Director of Administration for the International Transcendental Meditation Organization and is on the board of directors of and involved with most of its major projects worldwide.
In the 1970s, Neil was Maharishi’s personal secretary and went on to oversee all of the organization’s activities in North America. Since then, he has served in countless senior roles around the world, working directly with Maharishi. He now serves Dr. Tony Nader as one of his most capable executives.
Please join us for an insight into the wonderful groups of meditators around the globe; assemblies dedicated to mitigating stress in the world’s atmosphere.
The event will take place at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT, starting with a group meditation.

Body Awareness: How to Handle Negative Emotions
2025-09-07 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto)
With TM Teacher John Cowhig.

Negative emotions, such as fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, depression, and so on hurt our lives and hinder our progress.
In an enlightening audio tape from the Paradise Tahoe Course in 1968, Maharishi gives us a profound insight: even though negative emotions — he uses the example of fear — seem to come from the mind, the mind is closely linked to the nervous system. Somewhere in the body, something starts to function abnormally, and this triggers corresponding disruptions in the mind.
Moods are hardware and software working in concert: fear, for example, is a negative sensation and a negative thought woven together.
In this tape, Maharishi gives us a simple strategy: direct attention to the physical sensations associated with the negative emotion and you will bring more life energy to that part of the body. This will help restore normal functioning quickly and thoroughly.
When Maharishi explained this procedure at the Queen’s University course in 1972, he pointed out that even if someone doesn’t meditate, just understanding they can address challenging moods through the body — no need to sort out the mental storm — will be a great relief to the person.
Please join us to understand the principle behind the healing influence of
body awareness.

Soma: The Finest Product of Design
2025-09-14 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto)
With TM Teacher John Cowhig.

Last Sunday, we discussed body awareness: how to put attention on the abnormal functioning in the body associated with negative moods, which effectively dissolves them.
This Sunday we will play a tape where Maharishi discusses what could be seen as an advanced form of body awareness: Soma—Showers of Soma.
Soma is the finest product of perfect digestion, which the Vedas describe as a golden, oily substance, so refined it penetrates and nourishes. It brings unity between the mind and body.
Join us to learn how to shower the body and mind with Soma: “Like milk. Imagine you are showering this very beautiful Soma substance on the area of the problem. Put that good attention on that area:shower it with goodness.”
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.

Experience Circle — Exploring Ordinary Experiences of an Extraordinary Nature
2025-09-21 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto)
With TM Teachers Mark McCooey & Anne-Mareike Chu.
Our monthly Experience Circle provides a platform for TM practitioners to share their journeys toward growth, inner peace, and higher states of consciousness. By learning from each other’s experiences, we can accelerate our progress and continue to evolve.
We begin our session by interviewing TM practitioners who have experiences in the direction of Higher States of Consciousness so that their words might trigger a resonance with our own experiences, which, at times, can seem too abstract to understand fully.
After our chat with our guest, we will enjoy conversations with our Zoom participants about their experiences in a “circle format,” going from one person to another for a brief insight into their current experiences.
Through this shared experience, we can gain inspiration, insight, and motivation to continue on our journey toward higher states of consciousness.
What one of our zoom participants has said about the Experience Circle:
“What I like about the Experience Circle sessions is the simple, direct descriptions of Higher States from everyday people that I respect; and not theoretical descriptions that sometimes seem so far out of reach.”

Dear friends of the Experience Circle,

We are excited to invite you to a new experiment in deepening our collective exploration of Higher States of Consciousness.

For three weeks in October, we will form a small group of 12 participants who will meet once a week via Zoom for 60–90 minutes. This format is designed to encourage open dialogue and meaningful connection.

Format
Each session will feature 4 participants sharing their experiences, guided by questions from course leaders Mark and Anne-Mareike. The format will be conversational and designed to support a natural, free-flowing exchange.

Each of the 4 participants will have approximately 15 minutes to share.
The final 30 minutes of each session will be devoted to group discussion and reflection on the points raised.

Over the 3-week cycle, everyone in the group will have a turn to share.
This small-group format is meant to foster:

A sense of peer connection—everyone in the session is sharing equally
A safe, supportive space to explore profound and personal experiences

Our past experience suggests that these small groups naturally develop a warm, collegial atmosphere where participants feel increasingly at ease with one another.
In the fourth week, all small groups will rejoin the larger Experience Circle for the monthly community gathering.

Interested in Joining?
If you’d like to participate, please send an email to experiencecircle@tm.org with:

Your interest in joining a small group
How many Experience Circle sessions you’ve previously attended
Your preferred month (October, November, or January)

If interest exceeds available spots for a given month, we may ask you to participate in a later group — thank you in advance for your understanding.

We hope this new format will bring even greater openness, insight, and support to the sharing of our precious experiences.
