TM-Sidhis September 2026
Those intending to join the TM-Sidhis Course in September 2026 must have completed all four Advanced Techniques. Please note that a minimum of two months must elapse between receiving your final Advanced Technique and the commencement of the TM-Sidhis Course. If you have completed two or three Advanced Techniques, attending the 11–12 April course will ensure you remain eligible for September 2026.
Deepen and Refine Your Experience
Advanced Techniques gently refine the mechanics of your Transcendental Meditation practice, allowing experience to become more settled, more expansive and more integrated into daily life. They enhance the benefits of regular TM practice, stabilise refined perception and support the natural development of higher states of consciousness.
“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 program of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness.” — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Advanced Techniques are simple, natural mental techniques that further refine and deepen your Transcendental Meditation practice.
During TM we experience a fourth state of consciousness — restful alertness — which dissolves stress and enhances clarity, balance and resilience. Advanced Techniques support the integration of this state into daily activity, accelerating personal growth and stabilising higher states of consciousness.

There are four Advanced Techniques brought to light by Maharishi in his Vedic Science and Technology.
The first is practised briefly before sleep. The second, third and fourth are effortlessly incorporated into your twice-daily TM practice.
