Transcendental Meditation?

I heard about this a while back, and went to see someone about it. A teacher. I didn't go through with it but interested in what others have to say!

 

I couldn't post on here, there was an issue with the website. I tried to post on your profile, not sure if you saw it?

Anyway the main reason I didn't go through with it was because they advise that you do 2 x 20 minutes per day. I have a busy life and couldn't commit to that. I still use headspace and I get great benefits from it.

 

If you ask it if its worth it just dont do it. If you heard about it just try. I tell from my personal experience that when i practiced meditation I achieved very blissfull calm state.

 

I have found meditation to be a helpful process for personal growth.

 

What have you gained or get from meditation as personal growth?

 

It is hard to quantify or put into words. You have to enter it with no expectations of getting "something" out of it. Its effect usually isn't noticeable within the actual practice. What you notice is a better understanding of who you are and notice areas of your life where you need to grow. It brings more peace into your life. It helps you live in the present moment. It helps you to accept what is. You can more easily go with the flow. Again you usually don't experience it in the practice itself--it will often seem like a waste of time. Its effect accumulates over time.

 

Exactly, i asked you in more like retoric way and seems you undesrstand that practice. There is no purpose in meditaton. You just learn to be in present moment, and even sometimes be in very blissfull state ^^ Thats why people intrested in meditation shoudnt ask first what they can gain from it but just be pure intrested in this method and practice just be in present.

 

Noticing your moniker, you may be interested in Centering Prayer. There is a lot of information on line @ contemplativeoutreach.org. It is kind of like the Christian version of TM. Perhaps we should start a meditation group here. Many people who struggle with addiction are encouraged to begin a meditation practice.

 

Don't learn transcendental meditation from the organization!!! It's a scam!! I paid $750 dollars with the student discount and it was a complete rip off! They tried to induct me into their cult!!
https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Freedom/dp/097646554X. That book teaches you EXACTLY How to do it. They say that they give you "your mantra" based on everything about you. Don't believe it. Read this before you make any decisions!! http://www.suggestibility.org/

 

Meditation is a state not an activity, what you do does not matter. Whether you're singing, dancing, cooking, working or doing nothing (sitting down with cross legs and a handsign) if you lose sense of everything body, mind, time everything, that is when you enter the state of calm the Sanskrit word for it is samadhi. So to experience this you have to first forget about body (if you practice for long time you'll realize that it's painful, physically) first transend your experience from physical to mental then forget about you're mind too after that when there's nothing left that is when you enter into what you call transidential meditation.

Don't fall for these programe selling scums, they're just doing business out of something divine, if you're really serious about meditation then read the book A MILLION THOUGHTS by Om swami. Just read and you'll find all the answers you need. Hope this helps.
