That is a good sign of correct meditation. > One problem I have is ending the > meditation at 20 minutes.

Maharishi recommended that if you fall asleep during meditation be sure you have some support for your head, you don't want your head falling unto your chest without some support, this can cause serious neck strain if unchecked. Usually the rest during TM is deeper than regular sleep, remember to *finish* your 20 minutes of actual meditation after you wake up. You may have some of your best experiences then. > My husband usually brings me > round by turning on ESPN at > full volume.

You certainly can practice TM and get results regardless of your Religion, be you Catholic or Hindu. AS you delve deeper into the overall teachings you may conclude they come closer to Hinduism than modern day Catholicism, though some feel that even what Jesus taught was closer to Hinduism than modern day Catholicism, but you'll have to decide that for yourself.
