Transcendental meditation |
North Shore PO Box 31 340 Auckland 0741 +64 9 419 5380 http://www.learntm.co.nz info@learntm.co.nz |
Transcendental Meditation, or TM, is a simple but effective technique for the release of stress, the improvement of health, the gain of harmony in life, and to develop the full potential of mind and body. Practised twice daily, it can have an excellent and beneficial effect on your physical, mental and spiritual health. Meditator meetings are held regularly at various venues throughout Auckland at 7.30p on the first Thursday of the month. There is a group program at the centre every night from 5p-7p in the main lounge, and also one for siddhas. Maharishi Ayurveda Health consultations are available, as are Jyotish and Yagyas, and Sthapatya Veda. Planning is currently underway for a large new TM Centre based on Sthapatya Veda principles.
