![]() TM teachers spend 5 months in residence to learn what they teach and they train just as hard as any actor does to learn their teaching method. $50-$2000 for that information seems outland It's a simple technique that involves sitting still with your eyes closed. But all the current YouTube videos on the topic only offer enough information to lure people into paying for more information. But please be honest, would you agree that TM can easily be taught & learned without exchanging $50-$2000? A simple conversation between friends or a YouTube video could convey the technique. I agree that transcendental meditation is a wonderful thing too. In no case do they actually attempt to replicate the studies, or if they do make the attempt, they don't report the failure. Either they dismiss it as being unimportant because no theory explains why it might happen, or they dismiss it as bad research, because no theory explains why it might happen. The research on PC during TM has been published for the past 35 years and non-TM researchers still don't know what to make of it. And yet, virtually all the practices mentioned in the sidebar are derived directly from TM by students of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who disagreed with his traditional claim that book-based teaching of dhyana was likely futile.Īnd you can trivially reduce verbalization activity by paying close attention to something, which many people interpret as meaning the same as TM's "pure consciousness," but PC is where there is neither mental nor perceptual activity and there's no "recognition" of something (or nothing) because that too is an activity. There's an entire sub-reddit about this label. It's such an interesting thing, this "non-directive" label. I understand that TM is essentially nondirective meditation where the process becomes automatic rather than an intentional concentration technique, would that be accurate? I can only speak from my own experience that mantra techniques in general, whether directed or non-directed, essentially get you to the same place - a still mind where you can recognise the transcendental emptiness behind conditioned phenomena.

Thanks for your terrific comments.Įdit #2: Thanks to you all for a wonderful AMAA. Eastern Standard Time and answer the top questions. AMAA!!Įdit: I have to go now will check back in at 6:00 P.M. Most recently I have been researching the effect of meditation on the brain and how it can lead to peak performance and “getting in the zone.” My findings were so exciting that I have written a book about it which is called Super Mind. I also pioneered the use of Light Therapy for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (aka the Winter Blues) and Transcendental Meditation for combat related PTSD. Good afternoon!
