My own belief and experience is that long-term TM practice automatically creates mindfulness, without the baggage that you're supposed to be non-judgemental. Research on world champion athletes shows that their eyes closed resting EEG is more similar to long-term TMers' than non-world champion athletes is. Both groups report "flow" experiences more often than average, and both groups score better than average on *appropriate* mindfulness tests -that is, if they know what to expect, they prepare for it, and if they don't know what to expect, they don't.
