SUMMARY:Experience Circle — Exploring Ordinary Experiences of an Extraordinary Nature
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teachers Mark McCooey & Anne-Mareike Chu. \nOur 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. \nWe 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. \nOur special guest this Sunday\, December 15th\, will be Harri Aalto\, a long-time Governor and practitioner of the TM-Sidhis program. Harri is a wonderful blend of artist and businessman\, running Aalto Marble Inlay where he designs and installs marble inlay of intricate beauty. \nBlessed with experiences of enlightenment since early childhood\, Harri has written in great detail of his journey and shares his experiences from a very down to earth point of view. He regularly shares his experiences in the Dome at MIU. In a delightful description of progression towards Higher States\, Harri’s examples may resonate with similar experiences of our listeners. \nAfter our chat with Harri\, 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. \nThrough this shared experience\, we can gain inspiration\, insight\, and motivation to continue on our journey toward higher states of consciousness. \nWhat one of our zoom participants has said about the Experience Circle: \n“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.” \nClick on the button below to join the session on Sunday\, December 15th\, at 1pm Eastern/ 10 am Pacific for the next instalment of our monthly series. \nBegins with a 20-minute group \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session.

SUMMARY:Aging Gracefully with Maharishi Ayurveda
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teacher Dianne Field. \nWe all aspire to a healthy\, happy\, and dynamic life in our senior years. Maharishi Ayurveda has recommendations for each phase of life\, based on the dominant doshas in our physiology. \nAs infants and children\, Kapha dosha dominates. Next as young adults and as we establish our careers and have our own families\, Pitta dosha dominates. The third stage of life is when Vata dosha begins to dominate — generally around 50-60 years of age. \nDuring this period\, Maharishi Ayurveda emphasizes changes in lifestyle to provide relief from the changes associated with aging that can wear us down. \nIn this video with Vaidya Dinesh Gyawali\, you’ll learn about the three stages of life: childhood\, adolescence to middle age\, and old age — and principles to promote greater health and happiness during our third act\, to make them truly our golden years. \nBegins with a 20-minute group TM. \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session.

SUMMARY:Diet and Digestion for Improved Health and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teacher Dianne Field. \nMany of us overeat during the holidays and then decide to look at our diet more closely\, to eat more healthily in the New Year. \nWhat can we do through diet and nutrition to maintain good health and prevent disease? \nIn this recorded presentation\, Dr Karin Pirc and Dr Keith Wallace explore the critical roles of diet and digestion as seen through the lens of Maharishi Ayurveda. \nThey will reveal how different foods interact with our unique physiology\, particularly in relation to our doshas (vata\, pitta\, and kapha). \nThey will also provide practical recommendations tailored to nurturing health and elevating overall well-being\, guided by the principles of Ayurveda. \nBegins with a 20-minute group TM. \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session.

SUMMARY:Different Types of Meditation Produce Different Results
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Guy-Paul Gagné \nIn this session\, you’ll learn the key differences between meditation types. Researchers have classified meditation techniques into three categories: \n\nAutomatic Self-Transcending – Transcendental Meditation\nOpen Monitoring – Dispassionate observation (contemplation) and non-evaluative awareness of ongoing experience\nFocused Attention – Concentration\, sustained focus\, and voluntary control of attention and cognitive processes\n\nDr. Gagné will help you understand the scientific basis for these meditation categories and examine how TM uniquely impacts the brain and body compared to other forms of meditation. \nTake this opportunity to gain expert insights into the transformative effects of TM. \n  \nLearn More and Register\n  \nBecause the session is designed for non-meditators\, it will not include a 20-minute group TM.

SUMMARY:The Time-Tested Formula to Develop Cosmic Consciousness — Rest and Activity
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teacher Jacqueline Benoit. \nDuring this session\, you’ll learn the importance of your daily activity after each meditation. Rest and activity are steps of progress towards higher states of consciousness. \nIn this video from August 1972\, at a course in California\, Maharishi explains the important role activity plays to develop Cosmic Consciousness. The alternation of the deep rest of TM followed by our daily activity stabilizes pure consciousness. Over time\, pure consciousness\, or unbounded awareness\, is not lost when we are engaged in activity — the experience of inner wakefulness becomes permanent\, and is not overshadowed even while we are engaged in dynamic activity. \nBegins with a 20-minute group TM. \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session.

SUMMARY:TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential — Higher States of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teacher Ria Kinzel. \nThere is more to life than waking\, dreaming\, and sleeping. As TM practitioners we have begun to experience a fourth state of consciousness known as Transcendental Consciousness or Samadhi. \nHowever\, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into ”Seven States of Consciousness”. \nIn this session\, Maharishi describes the hallmarks of these seven states of consciousness. He provides a concise explanation of how each state of consciousness has different qualitative changes in perception and sense of self. \nBegins with a 20-minute group TM. \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session.

SUMMARY:Working with Maharishi: Personal Stories and Insights with John Cowhig
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teacher John Cowhig. \nJoin a Special Talk\, this Sunday March 16\, where you can hear John Cowhig\, as he shares his incredible journey of working closely with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi\, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhis programs. \nJohn will talk about what led him to learn TM\, how he met Maharishi\, and came to be Maharishi’s personal secretary\, and work on International Staff\, as well as some lovely conversations and experiences he had with Maharishi throughout the years. \nJohn Cowhig began his lifelong adventure with TM in Vancouver\, Canada\, in 1967\, after a classic baby boomer trajectory from altar boy to party boy to flower child to learning TM. In 1970\, he was made a TM teacher by Maharishi in his ashram on the banks of the Ganges River in Rishikesh\, India. \nFrom 1974 to 1977\, he served as Maharishi’s personal secretary and worked with him everywhere he went. After that\, he represented Maharishi and the TM movement in countless different roles\, travelling to over 100 countries for 15 years. \nIn the late 70’s\, he oversaw the Latin American movement with Ron Decter and organized the first Latin American teacher training course. He has taught the TM-Sidhi program and completed TM teacher training courses around the world; co-managed the TM organization’s television station\, KSCI in Los Angeles\, and contributed to many of Maharishi’s visionary projects\, including one to enable developing countries to become food self-sufficient by cultivating organic food on their unused arable land. \nRecently he helped with the team editing Doctor Nader’s groundbreaking book Consciousness Is All There Is and wrote the first draft of the glossary. \nJohn recently published a book of poetry\, to be followed by an autobiography that includes the 17 years he spent with Maharishi. He lives on Salt Spring Island\, in a Vastu house overlooking the ocean and Vancouver where he was born. \nPlease join us for John’s talk\, and Q&A. \nJoin Session

SUMMARY:Experience Circle — Exploring Ordinary Experiences of an Extraordinary Nature
DESCRIPTION:With TM Teachers Mark McCooey & Anne-Mareike Chu. \nOur 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. \nWe 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. \nAfter 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. \nThis session will be a special knowledge session with special guest Prashanth Ramasamy\, CEO and manager of 1000 pandits and administrators who\, together\, conduct the personal yagya program for all meditators worldwide. Because of the time zone differences with India\, we will be starting one hour earlier at 9 am Pacific and 12 pm Eastern. Prashanth will discuss the origins of the Saraswati order of Swamis\, which is the lineage that our Guru Dev was part of. \nBecause there are so many names for the feminine creative energies that create and maintain all of the universe\, Prashanth will explain some of these feminine “personalities” along with their source energy\, Mother Devi\, creator of Maya. \nThrough this shared experience\, we can gain inspiration\, insight\, and motivation to continue on our journey toward higher states of consciousness. \nWhat one of our zoom participants has said about the Experience Circle: \n“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.” \nClick on the button below to join the session on Sunday\, March 30th\, at 12pm Eastern/ 9 am Pacific for the next instalment of our monthly series. Please note the time change to one hour earlier for this week’s session only. \nBegins with a 20-minute group \nJoin Session \nPassword required to join this session. Access these sessions with the Zoom password provided to you by email from tmevents@tm.org.
