MERU Academy

MERU Academy Looking for a place to truly rest and experience the Self? Many find the clarity and rest stay with them long after they leave.

At MERU in Vlodrop, the Netherlands, we offer courses, retreats, and events based on Maharishi Technologies of Consciousness. In April of 1975, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi founded Maharishi European Research University (MERU) in Switzerland – a university promoting research into consciousness as a field of all possibilities. In 1984, MERU purchased a campus in a national forest near Vlodrop, the Netherl

ands. It was here where Maharishi spent the last 18 years of his life. Over the last four decades, MERU International has played many roles in the international Transcendental Meditation (TM) organisations. We’re the headquarters for the TM organisations’ administration worldwide, a health centre and organising partner for conferences on health care, and a host for courses and retreats for the global and local TM communities. But above all, MERU is a centre for knowledge – a place for understanding Maharishi’s profound framework of life. Helping the global TM community grow in the understanding and experience of consciousness, MERU continues the mission Maharishi gave us: to promote a healthy, vibrant, and peaceful society for all.

Maharishi's words have a way of arriving exactly when we need them.

So much of life pulls our attention outward. But every time we choose to turn inward through meditation, through our practice, we're doing something quietly powerful. We're coming home to ourselves.

Maybe no one has said this to you today, so let us: Thank you for your TM practice. Thank you for choosing to turn inward. The coherence you create doesn't stay with you alone. It creates coherence to everyone around you and to all of us.

Let's keep this chain of love going. Send this to someone you love or someone who you know shows up for themselves every day. 🤍

Dr Tony Nader ( ) explains how to correctly do Sukha pranayama breathing technique. It means easy, comfortable breathing.

It promotes relaxation and inner peace. When practiced before the TM technique, it provides a smoother entry point into the meditation, by settling the nervous system beforehand.

Researches also suggests it can be helpful during moments of anxiety. When symptoms like a racing heart or rapid breathing arise, this technique can support a return to steadiness.

You can save this post to revisit anytime, or share it with someone who might benefit from it.

Is it as simple as just saying “The calmer you are, the clearer you think.” ? Reaching that calm state is the tricky part, unless you know how to get there without forcing it.

That’s the beauty of the Transcendental Meditation technique. Unlike other types of meditation, there’s no concentration, no control of the mind, no contemplation, no monitoring of thoughts. It is effortless. 🌊

If you already practice TM, you know how good that silence feels and at MERU Academy, we’ve created the perfect space to dive even deeper into it. Our retreats offer the chance for extended group practices and profound knowledge that you just can’t get in a busy daily routine.

We want to make sure our upcoming calendar reflects what you’re looking for. Is there a specific course or retreat theme you’d love for us to host? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇
