Teresa's Fundraiser for the TM-Sidhi Program

Hello dear friends and family~

As most of you know, I completed my undergraduate education several years ago at Maharishi International University in Fairfield, IA, where I was also instructed in Transcendental Meditation. Even before this, I've always been a firm believer in and advocate of meditation. My practice has had a monumental impact on my life (even more so since learning the TM technique) and, in a big way, has made me the person I am today. This simple and profound meditation has brought me more openness, awareness, and empathy, as well as a greater capacity to flow with the ups and downs of life, disrupt harmful patterns, and connect with my truest self.

It hasn't felt like the right time for me to take the next step in my meditation practice until now. Participating in the TM-Sidhi course will be an opportunity for me to grow in my experience of even subtler and more expansive levels of consciousness so that I may know and embody more deeply the unique and divine creature that I am. From this experience, I hope to bring more aliveness, creativity, strength, openness, inspiration, authenticity, and confidence into my relationships, community, and work.

This is so important to me, especially now, because I seem to be moving into a cycle of life that is wanting to usher me into bigger, more purposeful work. I feel that the Sidhis will facilitate this, propelling me onto a path of great service and healing that I know I am meant for.

Furthermore, I believe that collective healing and transformation must come from many different angles in many different forms and that many of those ways of collective healing begin with the personal, with individuals. This bottom > up, inner > outer approach is one that feels radically powerful to me. I believe that every person who has the privilege to take this course (or something similar) is contributing to the overall wellness of humanity and Mother Earth.

Whether or not you, reader, share these beliefs or resonate with the concepts/perspectives I've written about here, know that they are true and meaningful to me. With that said, it would mean the world if you could support me in my endeavors by donating whatever you can spare, whatever feels good and right for you at this time. Having just recently started a new job and moved into a new apartment, my finances are strained, so I am humbly allowing myself to lean quite heavily into my community at this time, to receive loving support in this way.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Jai Guru Dev.
