I've being doing research in that field for myself for a couple of time and I was not able to cope the fact you had to pay so much for TM. My conclusion came that is simply a gimmick for what should be free, I dont know why somebody had the stupidity of trademarking meditation...
TM meditation is simply meditation by repeating a mentra as the object of focus, as you can also meditate by focusing on the respiration or also simply concentrate on a candle flame. The goal of all meditation is to focus in one way and calm the monkey mind.
When you achieve it, it act like a mental flush or a clean reboot of the mind, all the background processing shut down (If i use a computer metaphore)
For the mentra meditation, the trick is you can choose whatever mentra you want as long as the word don't represent something you know and create a image and then start the flow again.
Here what I found if you want to understand the technique (that's extremely simple) and follow a tutorial. They charge a couple buck (I think is 25$) and they let you download a tutorial with a mp3 to understand the speed of the pronunciation of the mentra.

The web site look cheesy but I did order it and I found it great for starting to understand how to practice long time ago.
Hope it help,
Cheers.
