LEARN TM IN RESIDENCE

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless technique practised for 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably.

It enables mind and body to access a special quality of profound rest. Over ten million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learnt TM. In fact, anyone can do it!

TM allows your mind to easily settle inward, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness. It differs completely from other meditations as it does not involve concentrating, or trying to empty the mind or to be in the present - it is completely natural.

Stress and anxiety are harmful to health, happiness, creativity and productivity. Hundreds of published research studies on TM verify its effectiveness for reducing stress, improving focus and clarity of mind, strengthening immunity and much more.

TM is the only meditation that is:

• Absolutely effortless
• Anyone can do it
• Includes one-on-one sessions
• Personalised instruction with an accredited TM teacher
• Consistently effective
• Thousands of published research studies

To learn TM is the one of the most important steps you can take in your life; and there can be no more perfect place to learn than in the perfect Vastu environment of the Maharishi Peace Palace, near Woodbridge in Suffolk.

Veda in Human Physiology

Dr. Tony Nader's "Veda in Human Physiology" explains how the ancient Vedic Literature is directly expressed within the structure and functioning of the human body itself. His works, particularly his book, "Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature", details how the four branches and 40 parts of the Vedic Literature correspond to specific physiological structures, functions, and organizing principles within the human system, making the body a "living, breathing Veda".

Physiology as Veda. Dr Nader's central idea is that the human body isn't just a collection of organs and systems, but a physical manifestation of the universal laws described in the Veda.

Correspondence. He identifies specific correspondences between elements of the Vedic literature (such as Rishi, Devata, and Chandas) and their direct expressions within the human nervous system and other elements of the physiology.

Organizing Power. The human physiology contains the infinite organizing power of Nature, which is Veda in material form, enabling life's functions, growth, and achievement.

Holistic Structure. The Veda is understood as having an architectural design that the human body embodies, with each aspect of the Veda having a corresponding element within the physiology.

Enlightenment and Evolution. Understanding this connection allows for growth and evolution, with the brain's development, and even the process of enlightenment, having physiological components that mirror the structures of the Veda.

Scientific Basis. Dr Nader's work is presented as a scientific platform for understanding the individual as a cosmic expression, providing a precise, scientific framework for this understanding.

Dr Tony Nader

Dr. Nader is a Lebanese neuroscientist with a medical degree in internal medicine and a Ph.D. from MIT in neuroscience. 

He is a leader in the worldwide Transcendental Meditation organisation, the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who guided his research into the Vedic Literature. 

Dr Nader’s seminal work, “Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature”, details these discoveries, making it a resource for understanding Veda through the lens of physiology. 

TOTAL KNOWLEDGE

VEDA declares the Ultimate Reality to be aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān – smaller than the smaller, greater than the greatest. From point to infinity, perfect silence to infinite dynamism, everything in between and everything simultaneously – this is the majestic realm of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge.

All very well, you may say, but what does this have to do with me and my life, with its successes and failures, its joys and sorrows, and its pleasures and pain? What relevance does it have for my career, for my relationships, or for my financial situation? Will it show me my path in life, lead me to my soulmate, and help me pay my bills?

In this unique series of courses, Dr Peter Warburton will explain the fundamental principles of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge but from a fresh and very personal perspective – to examine precisely how the highest truths expounded by Maharishi have their practical application in even the smallest details of our lives, drawing the support of the infinite organising power of Nature into every nook and cranny, and leading ultimately to higher states of consciousness and enlightenment.

Dr Warburton worked closely with Maharishi, Founder of Transcendental Meditation, for 36 years. Maharishi personally trained him to offer courses in Total Knowledge, which present the full range of Maharishi's knowledge in a delightful manner that requires no special prerequisite other than a yearning to know the highest truth.

MAHARISHI AYURVEDA MARMA THERAPY

Marma Therapy is a remarkable healing technique of Ayurveda, the timeless and holistic system of traditional health care. It is the art of treating specific vital points (Marmas) of the human body. Maharishi describes Marmas as “cosmic switch points” that control and regulate the flow of vital energy. 

Maharishi AyurVeda Marma Therapy works on the level of consciousness of both practitioner and patient. A certified Maharishi AyurVeda Marma Therapist applies specific blends of essential oils with a tender, careful touch. This subtle and delicate treatment enlivens the inner intelligence in the Marmas to heal, purify, strengthen, rejuvenate and revitalise.

MAHARISHI AYURVEDA AROMA THERAPY

Essential oils are concentrated plant life and sunlight energy – the essential “life force” of the plant. They awaken the inner intelligence of your mind and body – enlivening the body’s self-healing mechanisms and restoring wholeness, health and life in body, mind, and emotion.

The VedAroma oils recommend by the Maharishi AyurVeda Aroma Therapists are pure organic or wild-harvested essential oils produced in the time-honoured traditions of a few families. They are powerful substances that are able quickly to uplift and cheer, calm and relax, enliven and inspire, harmonize and balance, help relieve mental and physical problems, improve digestion, appetite, sleep, and mental clarity, and promote bliss and well-being.

Research has shown that people who use essential oils regularly have a higher level of resistance to illness, catch fewer colds than average, and recover quickly if they do become ill. One study, for example, found that VedAroma Highland Lavender induced a remarkably high level of global brainwave coherence, indicating a profoundly settled state of mind/body balance.

MAHARISHI LIGHT THERAPY WITH GEMS

Pure gems, because of their beautiful crystalline symmetry, are the most orderly structures in nature. In their purest forms, they are perfect expressions of the intelligence of nature.

Using specially designed “Gem Beamers”, Maharishi Light Therapy harnesses the orderly and nourishing qualities of precious gems to balance and purify subtle levels of the body and awaken your body’s innate orderly intelligence.

By applying the light from the gems in a systematic way, the entire body is brought into balance, and its inherent self-healing and self-repair capability is switched on. At the same time, Maharishi Light Therapy enlivens and refines sensory perception.

There are many reported benefits from this approach, including improved health, greater integration and strength, more energy, and increasingly more refined perception. Maharishi Light Therapy with Gems is complementary to all other approaches of Maharishi Ayurveda in promoting high level health and well-being – in developing higher states of consciousness.

MAHARISHI AYURVEDA DAY SPA

At the heart of the programmes of Maharishi AyurVeda are the traditional Ayurvedic purification and rejuvenation treatments, known as Panchakarma, an integrated series of treatments and procedures that, taken together, dislodge impurities from the cells and tissues, and flush them from the body. These purification therapies are generally taken in 5-day and 7-day packages.

In your Maharishi AyurVeda Day Spa, you will enjoy a taste of those procedures and begin to understand the immense potential of Maharishi AyurVeda for your health and well-being.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY

Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish, Maharishi says, is the “source of unbounded energy, all-knowingness”. Far from being all about destiny, it is the direct path to complete freedom and fulfilment in life.

Maharishi’s Vedic Science is a complete science, including both subjective and objective approaches to knowledge. For its part, Jyotish tells us how impressions and memories, coming on from the past, lie at the basis of all tendencies in our lives. It is through the light, or jyoti, of pure intelligence – known in Jyotish as jyotishmati pragya, all-knowing consciousness – that we can gain a profound understanding of the past and how it has led us to the present. On this basis, with the help of Maharishi Jyotish, we are able to create the future we choose for ourselves.

With archival recordings of Maharishi and Dr Tony Nader, you will enjoy a thorough introduction to the major values of Maharishi Jyotish – including the basis of prediction, the twelve bhavas or houses of the chart, the twelve rashis or signs of the zodiac, the nine grahas or planets, and the kundali or birth chart. You will also learn how to take advantage of this precious science of prediction to neutralise negative influences in our lives and create a better future through the use of Maharishi Yagya.

As a special treat, you will be guided through the Jyotish charts, kundalis, of several well-known individuals throughout history, including Lord Rama and Albert Einstein.

In this way, in Maharishi’s Vedic Science, the wisdom of Jyotish is an essential element on the path to “Eternal Freedom in Divine Consciousness”!

ARCHITECTURE FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

Vastu is the design and construction of a building in harmony with natural law – producing health and happiness – through:

RIGHT ORIENTATION. Vastu is the design and construction of a building in harmony with natural law, taking into consideration, for example, the proper orientation of the house with its entrance facing due east or, in some cases, north. This is extremely useful because our health, happiness, and well-being are Influenced by the orientation of the buildings we occupy.

RIGHT PLACEMENT. The strongest influence of natural law comes from the Sun. During its daily travel from east to west the Sun generates different qualities of energy. A home should be so designed that these different energies correspond to the specific function and activity intended for each room. Then natural law will always support each aspect of our daily activity.

RIGHT DIMENSIONS & PROPORTIONS. When a Maharishi Vastu home is planned, proportions and key dimensions, including its length, width and height, are precisely calculated to obtain auspicious measurements which resonate with corresponding cycles of our cosmic counterparts: the Sun, Moon, planets and stars. This brings nourishing and harmonizing influences upon the occupants of the home.

MAHARISHI’S ROLE IN RESTORING “VASTU VIDYA”. Maharishi restored the ancient technology of Vastu Vidya (“Science of Vastu”), the applied technology derived from the Vedic field of Sthapatya Veda, the science of establishing structures in harmony with Natural Law. He spent 20 years researching and assembling all 150 of texts of the Vedic literature that address the subject, meeting extensively with each of the living representatives of six major traditions of Vastu Vidya across India, the “Land of the Veda”, to identify what, within their practices, constituted authentic traditional practice. In this way, he restored the Science of Vastu to its full power and authenticity.

ADVANCED TECHNIQUES OF TM

“The purpose of Advanced Techniques is to take the experience to another, higher level. Advanced Techniques are like fertilisers; fertilisers bring better fruit to every tree. To enjoy greater achievement and fulfilment in life, take advantage of this beautiful programme of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness.” – Maharishi 

Advanced Techniques of Transcendental Meditation are simple techniques that enrich and deepen our daily experience of Transcendental Meditation, enhancing the benefits, and accelerating the process of personal growth and development of higher states of consciousness.

Advanced Techniques integrate the experience of Transcendental Consciousness into our awareness more quickly and profoundly. They increase the ability to maintain restful alertness with our activity after meditation. Thoughts and actions spontaneously become more effective, leading to greater enjoyment and fulfilment of desires in daily life.

Each Advanced Technique in its own way helps the mind become more familiar with the experience of Transcendental Consciousness, enriching our perception and enabling our thoughts and actions spontaneously to become more powerful, creative and effective.

The course includes expert personal guidance and specially selected videotapes of Maharishi explaining the unique value of Advanced Techniques in the development of higher states of consciousness. In this way, the course is supported by a full programme of knowledge meetings to enrich your learning – the perfect way to take this important step.

The course will also include the opportunity to learn, or refresh your practice of, Maharishi Yoga Postures and Pranayama (Yogic Breathing Exercises).

TM-SIDHI COURSE

"My TM-Sidhi Programme® provides a direct entry to the full blossoming of the creative genius of everyone; it is a master key to open the field of higher states of consciousness, where one naturally lives life supported by the evolutionary power of Natural Law."– Maharishi

The TM-Sidhi Programme is a powerful tool to improve all aspects of life – your health, relationships, professional life, and the environment around you.

Stabilising and deepening the experience of Transcendental Consciousness that develops with regular Transcendental Meditation (TM) practice, the TM-Sidhi Programme more powerfully clears the path to higher states of consciousness – ultimately allowing you to enjoy a life of total creativity, success, and fulfilment.

HOW DOES IT WORK? During Transcendental Meditation, the mind settles effortlessly and naturally to arrive at pure consciousness, the silent inner reservoir of creativity and intelligence that underlies all our mental activity. Numerous scientific studies have shown that during TM, brainwave functioning becomes orderly and coherent.

The TM-Sidhi Programme takes your development even further by culturing the ability not only to arrive at pure consciousness, but also to think and act from this level of profound inner silence. The result is that your brain functioning becomes even more orderly, and thoughts and actions increasingly arise from this level. As a result, they become more powerful and effective, allowing you to more easily achieve your desires.

WHAT IS YOGIC FLYING? The most powerful aspect of this programme is called “Yogic Flying”. This term refers to the phenomenon of the body rising up in the air, in response to the whole physiology coming in tune with natural law.
