What is TM?

About Transcendental Meditation

Transcendental Meditation (TM), came from the Vedic tradition which originated in India well over 5,000 years ago. Philosophy, the sciences, Ayurveda, yoga, the arts and the connection to and expression of the spiritual all flourished in the Vedic tradition.

TM was and continues to this day to be a technique designed for the “householder”, a term used for people like you and me who live and work regular lives as opposed to the lifestyle often associated with that of a “recluse” or monk.

TM is practised and enjoyed by millions of people from all over the world and supports all beliefs. It is simple, easy and effortless to learn and naturally settles the mind to a deep level of rest. If practised regularly (20 minutes twice a day), it has been known to reduce blood pressure and anxiety levels, as well as to alleviate a whole host of other stress-related illnesses.

TM is traditionally taught in 4 sessions over 3-4 consecutive days, each lasting approximately 1½ – 2 hours.

About Andre

Already challenged by the relentless pressures of corporate life, losing his father compounded agony on top of frustration. This created sleepless nights and an all-round knowing that if his fast-paced lifestyle wasn’t addressed, illness would surely follow.

After hearing about the benefits of Transcendental Meditation (TM), he decided to learn the technique and was blown away by the changes, some of which literally happened overnight. Andre was amazed by his reduced anxiety and his increased resilience to everyday challenges.

More at peace with himself than ever before, he immersed himself further into the Vedic tradition from which it stemmed from, whilst also exploring advanced techniques to help deal with stress and sleep more efficiently.

16 years on, Andre has become a much sought after Independent Teacher of Transcendental Meditation and Wellbeing Consultant, working with a wide range of clients including BBC, BP, Channel 4, Eurostar, Harvey Nichols, Tik Tok to name but a few.

Andre has no connection to the Maharishi Foundation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of on-and-off meditation, picking up snippets of advice from friends who swear by the practice, I decided it was time to take a proper course. My aim was to develop a consistent practice, backed by better knowledge and guidance. TM had been recommended to me often enough that it seemed the natural choice.

I've just completed the course this past week and couldn't be happier that I chose Andre rather than one of the official TM centres. I can't speak to the quality of their courses, but having experienced Andre's teaching, I find it hard to imagine a better choice. He is one of the kindest, most generous, and genuinely happiest people I've met in my 55 years, and quite obviously a wonderful testament to the benefits of meditation.

His instruction is authentic TM (something I was curious about beforehand, wondering whether he might have developed his own variation), delivered with an extraordinary amount of warmth, enthusiasm, and care.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the practice so far and am so excited about what lies ahead. If meditation can bring even a fraction of the joy and positivity that Andre brings to those around him, I'll consider it a tremendous success.

I gained a great deal from attending this course and look forward to attending followups. We are very lucky to have Andre supporting us and driving us forward to gain a better quality of life! I would highly recommend joining this course.

It has cemented my learning of TM and given me lots of encouragement and opportunities for meditation and reflection. I had a deeply restful, supportive and encouraging day with André and a group of warm and open co-participants.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I learned Transcendental Meditation with Andre five years ago and recently completed the TM-Siddhi course with him as well. The positive effects of the Siddhi program have been truly remarkable — it's hard to put into words how profound the experience has been.

Andre’s calm, joyful, and grounded approach to teaching makes a real difference. He creates a welcoming space for questions and doubts, which is so important when exploring a practice like this. I deeply appreciate his presence and the supportive way he guides each step of the journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just completed the Siddhi programme that exceeded my expectations. After only a few weeks I felt happier, more mindful, and more compassionate towards friends and family members. The weekend retreat was an amazing experience, with powerful meditations, interesting talks, lovely people and great food. I felt a deep sense of calm for a long time after the retreat. Andre is super supportive and always happy to give advice and support when needed. He creates a very warm, friendly, relaxed environment on his retreats so you feel part of a wonderful community. I would recommend it to anyone.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Andre for his dedication to his passion and the love he extends to all of us! Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Andre in person, I can say without a doubt that he feels like a friend first and foremost. He is an incredible teacher of meditation and wellbeing, a sentiment that also applies to the entire team of TM teachers, who are available everyday, several times a day!
Specifically, I want to thank Andre for offering the sleep meditation practice! My life has undergone a complete transformation in this area, and my sleep has never been better. The suggestions to prepare for a good night's sleep are life-changing. Even when I don't always get the optimal amount of sleep, it is deep and restful. If I wake up for any reason, I can fall back asleep with ease in no time at all.
These positive changes have inspired me to make life changes, such as omitting certain foods like coffee, sugar, and gluten. This was all prompted by experiencing the natural wonder of good sleep and realizing how much more it could improve. I know this message is a bit lengthy, but truly, it is a life-changer. Thank you, Andre Berry, and the entire team.
ps. I am writing this review today to submit, but the sleep meditation sessions took place in September of 2023 .. and from that day forward

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Learning Transcendental Meditation with Andre was a truly transformative experience. He came to my place of work for private instruction, and from the very first session, I felt at ease with his clear, compassionate teaching style. The practice itself has been life-changing—helping me manage stress, sleep better, and feel more present in daily life. What makes Andre’s approach so special is the ongoing support he provides. This isn’t just a one-time course; it’s the beginning of a lasting relationship. Through follow-up sessions, group meditations, and his continued guidance, I’ve felt fully supported in deepening my practice. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact TM has had on my life, and I can’t recommend learning with Andre highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mum and I took Andre’s course as per her recommendation of trialling TM for stress and overall wellbeing. I loved the course and found it very insightful. I have felt supported throughout which has allowed me to shed all expectation of getting it ‘right first time’. This has made the process uplifting as well as effective. Andre’s positivity is also very infectious! If you’re looking to start TM, I’d really recommend :)
