Hello, I'm John Hagelin, quantum physicist and teacher of the Transcendental Meditation program. Welcome to this introductory lecture on Transcendental Meditation.
What is Transcendental Meditation? Is it a way to relax? Is it a technique to promote health, vitality, and longevity? Is it a means to develop creativity, IQ, and peak mental performance? Or is it a past to inner peace? Enlightenment? As we will see it is all these things and more.
To understand Transcendental Meditation and consciousness we need to understand a little bit about the physical universe. Modern science, over the past 50 years, has probed deeper levels of physical reality. Modern science has explored more fundamental levels of natures functioning. From the superficial level of macroscopic physics, the sensory objects around us, to the world of the molecule, atom, nucleus and sub-nuclear levels of natures functioning as shown in this chart.
This chart reveals the hierarchical structure of the laws of nature. From superficial diversity to fundamental unity shown at the foundation of this chart. As modern physics probes deeper levels of natures functioning it is revealed that more fundamental levels of nature are progressively more unified. the 4 forces of nature deep within the atomic nucleus become 3, and 2, and ultimately 1 unified field of all the laws of nature.
John Hagelin explains things very well.. every word he speaks is clear and precise...it really opens my eyes and heart to cosmic consciousness... .
Very informative. I am experiencing anti-aging as well as clear focused and intelligent mental capacities. This is such a beautiful practice that enhances the "being well" in our well-being. Thank-you.
Dr John Hagelin, your work has extremely high impact to society science and well being. 🙏
@angelwhite Other practices most often involve some concentration or control of the mind and others involve contemplation--thinking about something. These practices keep the mind active in some way on the surface thinking level. TM allows the mind to simply, naturally and effortlessly transcend thinking and experience a deep state of restfully alert consciousness. Take a look at this video: "Mantra and Transcendental Meditation explained by Maharishi"
TM is a technique used to control the frequency of the electrical impuslses in your brain as these are related to conscienceness,
The brain operates between 1-40 hz, the lower being low activity and the higher being extreme alertness, fight or flight, there are many methods to control these frequencies, including sound and visual stimuli called Binaural beats, but the effect is to go into the theta Brain wave, which is on the edge of conscious thought And dreaming
I just love that there is a lack of negative comments pertaining to this video. Maybe this is another true sign that we can change this world once we learn to change our mind, body, and spirituality for the better of mankind.
I remember when it was free, back in the early 80's I refuse to pay for something that should be free.
amazing ,meditation has changed my life
An accomplished physicist reveals the correspondence between the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature and Transcendental Consciousness experienced in Transcendental Meditation-it is one and the same field of infinite creativity. The implications of this finding esp for health & education is presented in great detail using visual aids. World-transforming knowledge along with Hagelin‘s charisma make this video a winner.
Dr John Hagelin describes Transcendental Meditation extremely well. He is an excellent speaker
Dr. John Hagelin for president!!!
Thank you for this very comprehensive introduction of TM. It is quite short yet it provides very deep explanation about wide range of benefits of TM. I can listen to it again and again.
@alexdalyno1 Great, recently the Transcendental Meditation organization has provided scholarships for over 120,000 students to meditate. So literally 100,000's of thousands of lives are being improved each year.
Thank you so much for providing video on Transcendental Meditation. Dr. John Hagelin explained well Transcendental Meditation tought by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
I regularly practice TM & advanced techniques and living a blissful life in one of the Maharishi Campus in India. I am proud of working with Maharishi Vidya Mandir Schools - India under the divine guidance of its chairman - Brahmachari Dr. Girish Chandra Varma Ji.
Thanks, Jai Guru Dev, Jai Maharishi

Dear John thanks so much for your teachings and i would like to add that the way human society has evolved to is one of competative drive for profit for a tiny minority, this has a profound effect on everything from our health to our enviornment, CAPITALISM is an outdated way of satisfying our material as well as our emotional need WE NEED TO RECLAIM OUR WORLD FROM TYRANNY OF CAPITALISM . A WORLD TO SHARE FOR OUR COMMON WELL BEING AND ALL GENERATIONS TO COME.
Thank you so much for posting this. Wonderful.
this is very true plus still more are too be discover.
I want to do TM just because I have so much respect for this man.
@ShivamShantam Yes, Dr Hagelin is a Quantum Physicist from Harvard University. He also spent a lot of time directly working with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi the founder of Transcendental Meditation.
@009Astrid You can tell them to call1-888-LEARN-TM and ask about reduced rates or scholarships for students, couples, families, children, and those under financial hardship. The David Lynch Foundation also provides scholarships for people who can't afford it.
it is easy to see he is a gemini he is a great speaker
@TheLograsso You will be ok :) TM is beneficial to people of all ages. Many people learn after the age of 25 and stil say it was the best investment they have ever made. If you are interested in learning, check out tm dot org or contact a TM teacher directly at 1-888-LEARN-TM
So clear to true & pure Sciene supporting everything what is good to life!
The thing is you can meditate yourself, it really isn't terribly hard. As long as you have about half an hour free time where you can sit in a quiet place you can meditate yourself. I'm not sure if TM is much different than normal meditation, but I'm sure it will definitely help to meditates oneself if you cannot afford lessons.
I like this video. It is good information about Transcendental Meditation by Maharishi. I work for Maharishi Schools in India and practice Maharishi Ji's teachings in my life. Thanks, Jai Guru Dev, Jai Maharishi

Research has shown even thirty minutes in the Theta state can greatly reduce your need for sleep, as well as help heal certain ailments and help counteract certain disorders, the point being, if you cannot master TM, consider the benefits and look at alternative ways of reaching this brainwave output..good luck!
Nice video. Keep them coming. I love to learn all I can about meditation and the brain.
Interesting! Thank You!
TM should be a mandatory course for all adolescent students...
This is the video I was looking for thank you!
Great, thanks a lot
Thank you
he is a good speaker it is easy to see that he is a gemini
thank you :)
@HughieDixon I believe what he meant by global citizenship is that you can identify yourself with someone living in another country - not that he was calling for one world government.
THE AWAKENING IS HAPPENING. I believe everything happens for a reason. Ever since my personal awakening to the true reality we are all experiencing, as well as many friends, I believe the time has come for the people on this planet to unite through consciousness. RESEARCH THE PINEAL GLAND, DMT, ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM, QUANTUM PHYSICS, CHI ENERGY. Our time has come to become one. Positive>Negative
This guy reminds me of Major Briggs (from Twin Peaks)
The owls are not what they seem. :)
The lack of a universal right to education is one of the main ills of our current "civilization". Poverty will always be there, because only few privileged have access to books, + an appropriate education. The day that people in all the corners of the planet become "academically" self-sufficient, this day, there will also be a craving for the "cultivation" of the self and of real consciousness awakening, social interaction and "refinement!!
@voxvegan We understand your concern. The David Lynch Foundation provides scholarships for those who are interested and in need. Check out davidlynchfoundation daht org and see what you think. Also, If you'd like to search youtube for "Why does Transcendental Meditation cost money to learn?" and would like to tell us what you think about Bobby Roth's take on the issue, we'd be very interested.
thanks a lot for the clear explanation!
excellent explanation
I assume the idea of the mind exploring ever deeper levels of reality incorporates a pan psychist view of reality?
He says the higher brain (neo cortex?) can achieve executive control over other parts of your brain, including the old brain (limbic system?), which is the place where our emotions stem. Does this imply that it's possible to control your emotions in a broad spectra, and does this kind of meditation adress the problems of certain social diagnoses, such as aspergers, autism etc?
Around 5:05 you differentiate TM from mantra meditation. But every source I've looked at while trying to figure out *what it actually is* has said it is a form of mantra meditation.
The difference is in the purpose of the mantra. The role of the mantra in TM is not what it typically is in mantra meditations: "Mantra meditation practices are generally forms of controlled focus, employing degrees of concentration or sustained attention.
The Transcendental Meditation technique, a process of "automatic self-transcending," involves silent use of a specialized mantra or sound, but uses the specific mantra in a unique way. The TM technique is fundamentally different from other kinds of “mantra” practices".
he said that if you dont develop the front of your brain by the time ur 25 it wont develop. well i turned 26 3 days ago. Does that mean im screwed? I am thinking about trying this meditation but him saying that worries me that it might be too late.
you said that if the higher brain fails to develop before the age of 25 then it wont develop at all - is this an absolute statement of truth or is brain development amenable to meditation practice after the age of 25?
chris mcaulay at 19:40 it seems he is saying that even in adults (presumably including those over age 25) meditation engages the prefrontal cortex / higher brain. That's also consistent with the research showing that transcendental meditation reduces recidivism rates for released prisoners: www.davidlynchfoundation.org/prisons.html
@goodforthemoney 94 years
Have any experiments been done with TM on people who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease; before they get to the point where they would be unable to learn it? I don't know anyone who has AD (thank God), just curious.
Where can I get access to these studies to really analyze them for myself?
Hi Nikolaus!
We have some of the hundreds of studies on our website with the source sited as well - learntm.org/2LQomKk
so then, How do you do it!?
I went to an introduction curse and they asked me 900 euros. 2 minimum portuguese salaries. I wonder how much Maharishi Mahesh used to charge?
Eleonora Rocha
is that kyle gass?
Apparently tm doesnt help with hair growth.
John Hagelin has tasted the fruit of the gods...
@MaharishiIndia
tell me how to practice TM then :p
it should be easily, readily available to anyone and everyone who wants it, without having to apply for scholarships, grants or other special dispensation. why can't someone in a third world country have access to this? why can't a poor kid in detroit, chicago or nyc? why can't seniors on limited incomes? whycan't I? until the practic of tm is disentangled from it's money-making, for profit mission statement, it'll always be what it is--a for profit enterprise.
Even if all of this were true -- so what (?) You're not thinking straight. First you decide if something is valuable . . . then you decide what you'd pay for it. Food, housing and clothing . . . none of them is free. So you're going to starve . . . sleep in the street . . . and go naked . . . until they're free (?) Good luck with that kind of attitude . . .
dude...? who disliked this...?
@11thsockpuppet
Transcendental meditation is natural.
Wow i have a large chunk of comanche indian in me and my eyes look just like his, makes you wander about that landbridge thing, i see he has oriental blood.
I've always though of myself as a global citizen. Is that what he means? Well, I find being attached to a nationality so limiting. I can't stand that small mentality. Football crowds etc. lol
in cern they are trying to drill whole in to god. lol
Thank you
