The article features freelance writer Teresa Stanonik, who describes eloquently how she went from living a 'destructive lifestyle' and feeling frustrated and empty to living in a bright world of 'freedom, fulfilment, and happiness' after learning the Transcendental Meditation Technique as a teenager.

The Transcendental Meditation (TM) Programme 'came into my chaotic world just when I needed it most,' Teresa writes. 'The year before I learned TM was really intense for me. I was 16. I wanted freedom, fulfilment and happiness, but couldn't find them anywhere. I resented my parents, teachers, and society for directing me down a path of life that did not fulfil my desires.

Her aunt brought Teresa to a weekend course with the Mother Divine Programme* in New York state, where the profound feeling of serenity, fulfilment, contentment, and happiness permeating the atmosphere, and the 'steadiness, ease, and grace' of the Mother Divine Programme participants inspired her to learn Transcendental Meditation.

Teresa describes how, on the basis of her twice-daily TM practice, she 'became enthusiastically involved in my education. My relations with family and friends began to mend and deepen. My physical and mental health rapidly improved as I . . . adopted a healthier lifestyle. My world grew brighter as the freedom, fulfilment, and happiness I so deeply desired became a living reality. TM established order and stability in my life, and also gave me direction. I knew clearly that I wanted enlightenment more than anything else.'

* 'Mother Divine' refers to the nourishing, evolutionary power of Natural Law lively within all of creation and within the silent consciousness of everyone. The Mother Divine Programme, inaugurated in 1981, is an advanced fulltime programme for ladies to accelerate their progress to higher states of consciousness and enliven 24-hour bliss in daily life. Their role is also to radiate a powerful global influence of harmony and bliss in large, permanent coherence-creating groups practising Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying, and through administering the activities of the Global Mother Divine Organization in 192 countries.
