I couldn't recommend the Asheville TM center more. I've been practicing TM for almost 5 years now, and I came into it not really ever having any other experiences with meditation practices before. It was all completely new to me, but I wanted to make my life better, and I was curious about TM.
So I showed up for the free Thursday night intro meeting (which I believe is still held every Thursday night), and I met Tom and Jeanne, the two teachers there. They explained what TM was, and the real life practical value of it, and the proof of this value (all of which was very important to me) - and being the super skeptical person that I am, I proceeded to ask A LOT of questions. And to my surprise, there was an answer for every question, and maybe my favorite answer that I still remember to this day: So long as you're doing it as you were taught, TM works even if you don't believe in it. That pretty much did it for me.
Needless to say I signed up and learned, as did my wife -- it's been almost five years now and we've never missed or skipped a meditation. It's become such a regular and beautiful part of my daily life, and I couldn't be happier and better off for it.
And the entire experience was, and continues to be extra special thanks to this VERY particularly amazing TM center right here in Asheville, with two of the most amazing people I've ever met, the TM teachers Tom and Jeanne. Such wonderful and warm people. You'll know it as soon as you meet them -- their wisdom and guidance through all the knowledge of Transcendental Meditation is limitless, and I believe it has all truly helped me become the best person I...
Read moreI learned to practice Trancendental Meditation at the TM Center in Asheville, N.C about 16 years ago. I have found the meditation practice to be extremely beneficial in many areas of my life! The teachers Tom and Jeanne have consistently shared their knowledge of the practice with all sorts of seekers interested in improving their quality of life in their own individual ways. Even now after all of this time since I learned TM I have witnessed their unwavering dedication for others to have something in their lives that creates a real life opportunity for the expansion of happiness. Thank you Tom and Jeanne for sharing this very special teaching that truly...
Read moreI learned TM in Asheville and it was one of the best things I have ever done. I had tried different meditation techniques over the years but found them difficult to maintain. When I learned TM it was easy - I was taught by a full time teacher who was able to explain the technique - answer questions - and check my meditation periodically. Since I have been practicing TM my energy is better, I am happier, and more clear. We have a great center on Chestnut Street which offers group meditation, follow up, and advanced lectures. Tom and Jeanne Ball are welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! I give TM and the...
