"Transcendental Meditation®opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of energy, creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within everyone." —Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Awaken Your Total Potential by Francis G. MossÃ, TM Program teacher from Fairfield Total Potential Is Already Ours, It Just Needs to Be Awakened! Psychology has established that most people use no more than 10 to 15% of their mental potential. This means that just a small proportion of one's normal creativity, intelligence, and dynamism is being utilized in one's day-to-day life. Consequently, one's life is unduly impeded with limitations of all kinds and lacks in fulfillment. This is like a millionaire who has access to just a small part of his own wealth and wanders around, acting as if he were a poor man! But that wealth is his — it just needs to be awakened. Similarly, the individual's total potential can be easily awakened so that he can enjoy unlimited creative intelligence. 5,000,000 People and Over 600 Scientific Research Studies About five million people in the world have already started to experience the rapid unfoldment of their own potential through the practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. The TM‘ technique is a simple, natural, and effortless mental technique one practices 15-20 minutes twice daily. As of today, the benefits of the TM program have been documented in more than 600 scientific studies. These results indicate growth of the individual's total potential. The TM Technique allows the individual to experience the source of thought, the source of all energy and creativity —Transcendental Consciousness. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation Program, explains its benefits as follows: "The experience of Transcendental Consciousness develops the individual's latent creative potential, while dissolving accumulated stress and fatigue through the deep rest gained during the practice. This experience enlivens within one's awareness creativity, dynamism, orderliness, and organizing power, which results in increasing effectiveness and success in daily life." Fully Rested, Yet Fully Awake Everyone knows how clear, efficient, and effective we feel when we are rested. The TM technique allows one to experience very deep rest. However, this rest is quite different from the rest experienced during sleep. Scientific research shows that it is much deeper and is accompanied with inner wakefulnessas opposed to the dullness of sleep. This is a unique state of restful alertness, Transcendental Consciousness, and it nourishes all the aspects of one's life. Our Total Potential is Nature's Total Potential Now, what is our total potential? Is it worth trying to gain it? What are its limits? Transcendental Consciousness which one experiences during the practice of the TM technique is the simplest and least excited state of consciousness, also called pure consciousness. Maharishi equates this level of consciousness with the unified field, source of all creativity, energy, and intelligence: "Modern physics has recently glimpsed the unified field of all the laws of nature. Since ancient times the unified field has been described by Vedic sciencea complete science of consciousnessas the field of pure consciousness, the field of infinite energy, creativity, and intelligence underlying man and nature. Through Transcendental Meditation, pure consciousnessthe unified fieldcan be enlivened at the source of thought deep within the mind of every human being&" The consequences of this identity of pure consciousness and the unified field are far-reaching. The whole potential of his entire universe is readily available to usbecause it already is within us. As Maharishi puts it: "&This means that we can display the infinite creativity, intelligence, and dynamism of nature in our own life. This is our natural birthright." The TM technique is the direct, effortless, scientific, and natural way to gain the infinite organizing power of Nature from within ourselves. Results Are Easily Verified People beginning the practice of the TM technique report that they feel better, clearer, and more energetic. They also notice that their environment reacts much more favorably to their own behavior and supports them more than before. Scientific research shows that the TM technique brings stability, adaptability, integration, purification, and growth in all areas of one's life: psychological, physiological, sociological, and ecological. Students become better students due to the increase of their mental potentialincluding IQ and memory. Businessmen enjoy growing success due to the increase of their energy, health, creativity, and ability to handle challenging situations. Mothers at home feel happier, more patient, and more resourceful. In fact, what could not improve in anyone's life when the universe's unlimited reservoir of creativity, knowledge, and dynamism becomes progressively available? So, through the TM program, individualsthe building blocks of societybecome happier, more peaceful, healthier and more successful. Consequently, the whole society, which is made up of individuals, starts reflecting the same qualities. Where to learn the TM Program in your area.
