I like to tell myself I'm meditating when I'm swimming...breath in, breath out for 20-30 minutes....everything else falls away as the focus in water is making sure one can breathe. It does leave me in a deeply relaxed place...but I figure those are the endorphins kicking in :)

Nothing. You get a "mantra" which in ™ is the name of some Hindu god or goddess, and repeat it over and over during your 20-minute meditation, coming back to it whenever your mind strays, which is often, because it's usually pretty boring doing this. It's supposed to provide what TMers call "deep rest." This is deeper than your average garden-variety rest, because they say so and what more proof do you need? Seriously, there have been some studies but most have to shown to have been fixed in some way. If you want a list of the ™ mantras, they're available somewhere on the Web. > If the TMO is trying to change the world and they are truly sincere in this, >why is it all a big secret?

Only self-important pompous fools would try to convince you you needed to shell out a huge amount of $$ to learn a "secret word." Don't believe 'em, Denise. > Or is it?

How self-centered is >this? Why wouldn't the TMO release the secret, or for that matter, anyone who >has the secret, and really test the hypothesis that they can change the >world? It reeks of BS. Plenty of people have breached the secret, and I'm pretty sure you can find it on the Web. Pick whichever mantra appeals to you, sit down and repeat it for 20 minutes, coming back as necessary, and voila. You're a meditator.
