Knowledge Meetings

TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi emphasized that growth towards higher states of consciousness is in two steps: experience and knowledge. As we grow in our experience of the TM technique and its benefits, it’s important that we also grow in the understanding of our experience. For instance, it is very helpful to intellectually understand how and why the TM technique works effortlessly. Experience and knowledge enrich each other.

Knowledge Meetings are a chance for you to strengthen and build upon the benefits gained from your TM practice. A better understanding of consciousness and higher states of consciousness helps clear the way to greater progress in our personal growth.

What to expect at a Knowledge Meeting

Knowledge Meetings are available online and in person

Knowledge Meetings, which are also called Advanced Lectures, usually include a short talk or video, a group meditation or TM Group Checking, and a chance for discussion. They offer an opportunity to ask about your experiences both during TM practice and afterwards in daily life.

The videos shown in Knowledge Meetings present talks by Maharishi; Dr. Tony Nader, global leader of the teaching of TM® and related programs by nonprofit organizations around the world; and other speakers explaining the sequential development of consciousness and expansion of human potential.

Programs may be offered in person at your TM Center or hosted online by local TM teachers. Some programs, such as TM Talks, are broadcast nationally and are available for replay any time.

All Knowledge Meetings are free of charge and open to everyone who has learned the Transcendental Meditation technique.
