My therapist recommended TM. I think it sounds great. However, I didn't know where to go for it. There is a small branch office of The Maharishi University of Management, based in Fairfeld, IA, in my town. I called them. I was instructed to watch three videos on my computer and did so. They were very repetitive and seemed "sale" oriented. My next step is to have a private interview, followed by three individual sessions on three days in a row.
My concern is that no fee has been mentioned. Looking on the internet, I see some charge $2,000 to $2,500 for this service. That's for 4 l 1/2 hour sessions, I think the last three of which are small group. Honestly, that seems terribly expensive to me. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there another way to seek the training? At no time during the videos did they say exactly what the meditation process was like, although it was frequently stated that it would cover that topic at the beginning of the videos.
I'm out of my depth here.
