I don't disagree....that's the one draw for me as well. Efficacy. However, I
think it is important in any endeavor not to obfuscate the origins. Yes, TM
comes from the Hindu tradition and yes, it costs a fair amount of money.
I did the meditation outlined in this Pema Chodron book awhile back during a
relationship breakup (The Places that Scare You) and found it very useful...am
heading towards mindfulness, which I think will benefit me.

Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: I'm a new meditator There are many
different methods for "meditation". TM is a technique taught by Maharishi who
was a Hindu. Nothing against it, as I haven't done it or paid to learn it, but
it is based on an interpretation of Hinduism possibly somewhat unique to
Maharishi from what I've gleaned from posts on these website. There are many
ways to meditate that are free and published. But I think it’s noteworthy how
deep her meditation is right off the bat. I think that says something about the
efficacy of TM.

Don't worry about it. When he sees you relaxed and shining, he will want the
same for himselves ! :-)No virus found in this message.
