Thank you for your post. I've looked through some of the previous posts and it looks like a very lively forum:-).
I'm a mother of 6 and I have been meditating for 4 months. My meditation leaves me very relaxed and happy. One problem I have is ending the meditation at 20 minutes. After meditating for a few minutes I seem to drift off somewhere and before I know it 90 minutes have gone by. My husband usually brings me round by turning on ESPN at full volume. He's angry I started meditating without his permission. I've asked my initiator and she said its not a big problem. She just told me to look at my watch more often. This has not worked yet. Any ideas? Also I'm trying to get my husband to start meditating but he is a devote Catholic and says TM is a form of Hinduism. I've told him that's nonsense but he's still not convinced. Any thoughts, I know it would be very good for him. ________________________________ From: curtisdeltablues <curtisdeltabl...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 3, 2011 1:26:21 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: I'm a new meditator --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Beth Cook <bethcook84@...> wrote: > > My name is Beth, I'm from Canada. > I was just initiated into Transcendental Meditation > and I just joined Fairfield Life.

Fire away Beth. We repeat ourselves all the time so no problem there! I hope you know that this is not an official TM information site, so the responses will not necessarily represent the TM party line. Official TMers place a high value on meditators maintaining their innocence about their practice. "Innocence" is not a high value virtue for most of the posters here. I hope that helps you orient to the place and welcome. >
