“The purpose of Advanced Techniques is to take the experience to another, higher level. Advanced Techniques are like fertilizers; fertilizers bring better fruit to every tree. To enjoy greater achievement and fulfillment in life, take advantage of this beautiful program of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness.” —TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
We are delighted to announce that Advanced Techniques of the TM program will be offered at the Princeton TM Center from June 23 to June 24. Here are the details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Advanced Techniques?
A: Like the TM technique, Advanced Techniques are easily-practiced mental techniques that accelerate personal growth. During TM, we experience a fourth state of consciousness, a state of restful alertness that dissolves stress, enhances brain functioning, and balances the body and emotions. Advanced Techniques speed up the integration of this state with our daily activity, bringing faster results from our TM practice.
Q: How many are there?
A: There are four Advanced Techniques that have been brought to light by Maharishi. Each Advanced Technique in its own way helps the mind become more familiar with the experience of Pure Consciousness, enriching our perception and enabling our thoughts and actions to spontaneously become more powerful, creative and effective.
Q: Do I learn them all at once or one at a time?
A: One at a time and in a sequence developed by Maharishi. Practicing an Advanced Technique for at least two to four months is required before adding the next Advanced Technique.
Q: Who can learn, and how do I know if I’m ready?
A: You must have practiced TM regularly, twice a day, for a minimum of the last four months to be eligible to apply for an Advanced Technique. Each technique is simple—easy to learn, easy to practice—and, best of all, enjoyable! That said, if you’d like our advice regarding your personal readiness, just give us a call.
Q: Who teaches the Advanced Techniques?
Katie and Roger Grose
A: Specially trained, highly experienced certified TM teachers Roger and Katie Grose have taught at the United Nations, the State Department in Washington, D.C., and overseas during their 45-year career. They were directors of an internationally recognized Maharishi AyurVeda® integrative medical spa, and have served as directors of the Bethesda, Maryland, TM Center. They will be present at each session for instruction and verification.
Q: What is the course structure?
A: The course consists of three sessions:
First, an orientation meeting (1½ hours)
Second, personal instruction in the appropriate Advanced Technique (2–3 hours)
Third, a checking meeting the following day to answer questions and verify the correctness of your practice (2 hours)
Orientation: An orientation meeting is an opportunity to learn more about Advanced Techniques. It is free, and there is no obligation to take the course. But if you want to learn an Advanced Technique at this time, you must attend the orientation meeting and then fill out an application form. Here is the schedule of orientation meetings:
