A great friend of mine and a mentor of mine both told me that they practice meditation routinely. I’ve heard of wild psychedelic meditations as well as spiritual atonement meditations. I tried following some basic meditation guidelines online but quickly became frustrated from not having a worldly meditative experience or spiritual hallucinations. Then I discovered TM (Transcendental Meditation). The first thing I learned was, The Beatles did it. Then I learned Jim Carey, Russell Brand, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Simmons, Clint Eastwood, Dr. Oz, and lots of CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies practice and advocate like mad for TM. What’s the big deal? Is it a placebo movement or is there real science to this meditation technique? Am I going to need to spend a month in a mountain cave learning this technique 24/7. Turns out, the answers were more incredible than I could ever hope for. TM is the most scientifically researched meditation technique to date. Why? Well because it is the most effective and immediate form of meditation ever considered, with mindfulness coming in second but far behind in the numbers. See the main scientific benefits and facts right here, click the most intriguing subjects and dive deeper for 30 seconds. I dove real deep, watched this 23 minute crash course on TM. Now I can preach it. So, TM works instantly. Great. What’s the secret to trying it out? The difficult thing to learn about TM is to not try at it, let it happen naturally. The ironic thing is that’s tougher than it sounds because we typically assume sitting down and meditating is making an effort towards meditation. Do you make a big effort to take a nap in the middle of the day when you really need one? The catch is, TM is something your body and mind have been wanting to do since you were born (like always needing a nap but never knowing a simple nap was the available solution). So if you can have someone show you how to use the mantra correctly (or really let the mantra use you), and teach you how to let it just happen naturally, your first time trying it you’re guaranteed to have a life changing experience. Have a quick 4 minutes to have your mind blown? Watch this video. This is the most impactful video I came across. The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we can become. - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ******************* @
