Mary, I learned TM for $35 in the early 70s, and it was $125 (for adults, less for students) when I taught it later in the 70s. That's when the TM organization was run by sane people. If you apply inflation to those sane 70s rates, you come up with about $575 for adults today, which sounds about right to me. Plus in the 70s the TM org. had some useful free or low priced followup programs at its 1000s of local centers, whereas now there are very few centers around and they just offer more outrageously priced, somewhat wacko, advanced programs. If you're having some serious health problem associated with stress, esp cardiovascular, then it might be worth paying the very high rates to learn TM, otherwise I'd look around for something else in your area.
