SUMMARY:Advanced Techniques Course in Montréal
DESCRIPTION:The TM Advanced Techniques Program offers four techniques to enrich your experience and accelerate your personal progress. \nThrough the regular practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique\, you become familiar with the experience of pure consciousness. With the Advanced Techniques\, you can go even further\, experiencing finer levels of thought and perception. As a result\, your perception becomes more enriched\, and your thoughts and actions become more powerful\, leading to greater fulfillment of your desires in daily life. \nFour Advanced Techniques are offered in a sequence developed by Maharishi. The first Advanced Technique is specifically designed to accelerate growth to higher states of consciousness\, utilizing the time of sleep to support the development of enlightenment. The following three Advanced Techniques are incorporated into your TM practice. \nIf you are beginning the Advanced Techniques program\, you will receive the Night Technique instruction on Saturday evening with a checking session on Sunday morning. \nThose continuing their course will receive instruction on Saturday afternoon\, with a checking session on Sunday afternoon. \nDianne Field will be leading an Advanced Techniques course at the Montréal TM Centre this November.

SUMMARY:Discover Your Full Potential — Higher States of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:There is more to life than waking\, sleeping\, and dreaming. 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.
