What will you learn?
Expand your expertise in the theory and practice of Maharishi Light Therapy with Gems. This comprehensive training is designed to help you refresh your knowledge of the treatment procedure and refine your skills to address your clients’ unique needs with greater precision.
The course is also a great opportunity for profound experiences in receiving and giving treatments—not only with the well-known 13 gems of the set but also with new gems like Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Moonstone, Jade, Chrysoprase, and Red Tourmaline. Experiences of giving and receiving treatments will be discussed, and the health-supporting qualities of the basic and additional gemstones will be explored in depth.
We warmly invite you to join us for this advanced training.
Feedback from MLG treatments
"The MLG treatment was so relaxing and extremely helpful for my strong back pain. I enjoyed
it so much and it also gave me peace of mind.
I've remembered who I really am and how much joy I naturally carry in my soul.
I became aware of my natural state of mind."
– Federico G. Franco, MERU
The course includes
Training to offer professional Treatments
After successful completion of this course, participants will become practitioners of MLG at the Phase 1 level. They will be qualified to give treatments to healthy people and those with minor imbalances. Many practitioners have found that giving treatments is not only extremely rewarding personally but is also a wonderful way to support their TM Centre.
Subjective experience through MLG sessions
One of the most powerful aspects of this training is that participants themselves experience MLG sessions during the course. This, together with daily group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme, means that as participants grow in their knowledge, they also grow in their experiences and the development of consciousness.
Intellectual understanding
This course will include two weeks of profound knowledge: how gems are formed, their health and spiritual benefits, their relationship to the Grahas in Jyotish, and much more. After successfully completing the course, participants will be qualified to give introductory talks on MLG so they can share the benefits of this powerful technology with others.
Comfortable, supportive environment
The course will be held in the supportive environment of the Maharishi Peace Palace in Istanbul, which allows for ideal learning and spiritual growth with its Vastu architecture.
Practical training for long-term success
Participants will learn all the practicalities of giving successful treatments. After completion of the course, graduates will be eligible for future advanced training. They will also be a part of the global community of MLG practitioners to help support their growth and success.

“The information that is absorbed from the environment in very deep and very rare places on earth are brought into the specific structure, the micro-structure of the gem.”
— John S. Hagelin, PhD (Quantum Physicist)

About the faculty
Joachim and Iris Roller
Joachim and Iris Roller are the heads of the Maharishi Light Therapy with Gems (MLG) Department and are the faculty for this course. Professor Joachim Roller, a gemologist and jeweller, developed MLG over 30 years under the guidance of Maharishi.
After years of working as a prestigious jewellery designer, including a period as a chief designer at Christian Dior, Joachim learned Transcendental Meditation and became a Governor. He and his wife, Iris, instructed over 800 people in the TM technique. Soon afterwards, Joachim met with Maharishi and asked him how he might use gemstones to promote better health and the development of consciousness. Maharishi advised him to look into Ayurveda, India’s traditional healthcare system. Joachim took Maharishi’s advice and began his 30-year quest to create a practical, modern technology that could bring the benefits of gemstones to everyone. With Maharishi’s guidance, he succeeded, and MLG is now available in numerous countries across the world.
Today, Joachim and his wife Iris oversee the development of MLG worldwide and have together trained over 200 practitioners of MLG over the years. They have conducted Phase I of the training course more than 20 times, refining the material each year.
Orelia Roller
Orelia Roller is the daughter of Iris and Joachim and grew up with Maharishi’s techniques and MLG. After attending university and studying music, she completed a four-year training to become a goldsmith and gemstone setter. She is a TM teacher and MLG course leader, together with her parents, since 2022. She is a successful MLG therapist, giving lectures and leading workshops on MLG all over the world. She loves the benefits MLG brings to people, and it is her great honour to pass this wisdom on to the next generation.
