thanks mate

The technique isn't and cannot be copyrighted, just the name of the technique.

nope, you just need to keep practicing :) your mind is very active, and that's not a bad thing, it's just something you are used to! keep making a habit out of TM :)

@@santiagoechecopar5554 I appreciate the reply brother 👍

Back here about a year later and still experiencing no tingling in my hands or feet, lowered heart rate, and etc. Hmm

Transcendental meditation is presented as a secular practice with no religious affiliation. As a former TM teacher, I can attest that the truth is exactly the opposite. THE PUJA - AN OLD HINDU RITUAL A puja is an ancient Hindu ritual or ceremonial worship, the purpose of which is to create a channel of transmission from a Hindu god to whoever performs or participates in the puja ceremony. Objects of worship can be various Hindu deities or gurus who are believed to embody the divine.

Please stick to 15 minutes in one practice, you may do it twice a day. 🙏🏽

@@gevo9064 TM is definitely not a pooja. A pooja literally means an offering to the gods. There is definitely the role of a guru (dispeller of darkness) in transmitting this practice. Nothing religious about it though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meditations done incorrectly or haphazardly could actually be detrimental to yourself. 🙏🏽

Omm

Mind

@@uncleusuh I believe you say it in your head.

This is true, but there is a secondary benefit of using specific mantra sounds(other than facilitating a transcending process), that occurs over long periods of time using them(years). Also understanding the purpose and process of a technique(if one is using it) can be more useful to some people. I remember talking to a neighbor and on a topic I suggested they learn how to meditate. They 'complained' they can't get their mind to 'sit still'. The had such a strong reaction based on what they believed a meditation should be and should not be, the conversation couldn't continue because of it.

I've been using that same approach (breath focus) for a couple of years now, and frankly always found it quite difficult... hitting that 'no thought zone' is a bit haphazard for me and although I usually get something out of a session it's often a chore. I've been trying mantra meditation for only a short while now (couple of weeks) and have so far found it much easier to reach that same state, pretty much every time, with less effort. I suspect people are better suited to either one technique or another, and probably need to try both.

Hi.. Will i have to make the 'mmm' sound through my voice or just think it inside my mind? Please clarify someone.. Thanks

@@WhateverBlogs personally I don't do this but give it a shot to find out what works for you!

Yes, TM acts as if it’s different from breath meditation or other object-centred approaches and ‘transcendent’ sounds very grand but I don’t see the distinction. What is being transcended or risen above?

It's not bullshit. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it is bullshit. I listened to the above video and am glad I didn't go down the path with what he said above but instead used TM. Although I would have eventually sifted through the above video and 'corrected' his 'mistakes' to get it 'right - it would have involved alot of wasted time....that well, was saved by doing it the TM way from the start.

@@babajaiy8246 ahhaha you totally spent 1000 bucks on a scam and now youre trying to justify it to yourself so you can sleep tonight.

@@dylanm8145 Actually, I only spent about $300. And I don't have to justify anything since I no longer need to meditate. I accomplished my goal with the process. So I got what I wanted with it.

@@babajaiy8246 i hope your goal was to spend 300, well done

@@dylanm8145 No. That wasn't the goal. And yes it was money well spent.

Pretty sure only people who took music in school or are into music will know this...I have no idea what it means.

Clive Lindley any tips on getting into state of nothingness and focusing on mantra?

What was the mantra that actually worked for you?

@@jaredfrost3548 Ohwadasillygooseiam

Definatley think some things are better in Lo fi

He says in the video, just try a series of meaningless sounds like 'om' or 'mmm' until you get one that feels right. There's a post upthread where someone's recommending 'ng', which I've found works well.

@@metus5831 Link? No. Like I say, it's just a post in this thread.

Just pick 3 random syllables. The important thing is they shouldn't have any particular meaning or remind you of anything - the aim is to avoid anything that makes you think of a particular subject, you just want noise that's going to bore your mind into submission. For example, use "eee arrr omm". If that doesn't work, try some different sounds. I'm not a certified master, but then again I'm not charging you 2 grand.

There is no time interval...this is why it is best to get taught personally - so you understand from both the experience of being guided through the process and given knowledge of the process.

@@levangiledestephane937 Nice

@@levangiledestephane937 I understand they may ask money, but that much? It seems that somehow, the most ancient wisdom of humans should be democratic, of the people and for the people. He asked a simple question and it likely has a simple reply. Maybe less snooty than yours.... 😊. Still, your point has validity even to a person such as myself who is very unhappy and anxious and has not enough money. To me something that has the potential to change human's lives and the world for the better, should idealistically be closer to free than not. When information such as this becomes secretive it feels elitist and no longer about helping others. I find it near crazy that non who studied to become a teacher have set out to do it for free. Anyway... I feel somewhat frustrated and confused trying to figure this all out and how I might be able to still achieve TM.... Let us agree to disagree. Have a wonderful day.... 😊.

@@levangiledestephane937 much obliged for your reply. If you do not want to further engage in a conversation, do let me know otherwise I‘m absolutely happy to. What I do? Crazy as it sounds I try hard to not drown. Hence my looking for a solution. I literally have a hard time doing the most basic things for myself. I do not love myself and as such am not even really able to do something for myself. So when I found TM, or information about TM, I did feel disheartened by the price. Because, I truly felt as if I had found something pure. Something I may 1 day invest enough in to become a teacher myself and return this gift to others. I‘m 47 years old and wanting to be, just be, me, myself. I have not travelled since a teen, I have not had the pleasure of having kids, never had a job and the man I loved for 25 years left me. I feel grateful for his love for 25 years. But now, I just really want to find some stability and peace. How? No idea. I wondered for a moment if TM would be a tool. But at such a price I could neither do it for myself nor ever become a teacher. So yes, in my ideal world people should not have to pay for spiritual guidance. In the real world, those who are lacking money often become those in need of such tools that are expensive, too expensive. Do I want to change the world? Yes… I hurt no animal, try and respect nature and live too isolated most of the time to meet many people. But the little I do is my way of contributing and this is, smiling at nearly all who walk past me. I feel if every single person on this planet felt some happiness, peace or contentment… violence would cease to be and then the beauty of the world would reveal itself in all its splendor. I do feel sad I do not contribute more than a smile, truly. But yeah, maybe little things add to a better planet also? I just have 1 cheeky question for you, how did you or why did you end up on this video? If ever you, or anyone else, wants a more chat- like version of communication do find me on IG at @NatureTalking. Have a wonderful day…. :).

@@samstruys3088 Find the money, Get initiated and lean on the community of meditators at the TM centres. Stick with it. TM is profound and will change your life but it doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey not a destination. You are worth it.

Lyric Hat what other tips would you mind sharing?

Thanks, Lyric Hat. I'd be open to some more tips too.

@@JohnMoseley Hey John, sure thing! I have been meaning to get back to Lauren here as well, so I'll try and give you both the most detailed tips I possibly can. So, TIP 1 is like I said before... When beginning a meditation session, start by making sure your sat in a chair with your back straight and possibly have a cushion or two behind you to make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes and wait for about minute before you start repeating the mantra. TIP 2, when you start repeating the mantra in your head, do not question how you are pronouncing it or how fast or slow the rhythm of the repetition. And certainly, do not change or manipulate the way the mantra comes to you in the session. Remember, each session will be different and sometimes the mantra will be slower or faster, sometimes the pronunciation will be a little different. (If you payed to learn from a professional TM teacher like I did, they should remind you that if you forget your mantra or think you need to get it checked, they will do this for you at both your next convenience). TIP 3, don't hold on to the mantra yet, do not stray too far from it either. My teacher had a saying "innocently favour the mantra". This means that when a thought comes you should not reject it after the first realisation that its there. You know your doing it right when you repeat the mantra and all of a sudden, you realise you have spent half a minute on a thought, so then just move back to the mantra until the same thing happens. Sometimes, an overwhelming state of bliss may hit you like a tone of bricks and it can be so beautiful that it honestly has you fearing that if you carry on with mantra or stay on a thought that the bliss state you just entered will fade. The truth is, it will fade as quick as your attention is usually on a thought. But what is important is that you let go when the bliss state happens and when it stops overwhelming you, you should go back to the mantra. TIP 4, Do not try to find meaning from the thoughts you have, they are just a by-product of a past trauma (big or small) and the thoughts are a way of your body and mind healing in TM. You are told to have 2 meditation sessions a day, 1 in the morning before 7am (no when after 7am, although I rarely stuck to this in the beginning) and 1 in the afternoon. We were told you shouldn't eat an hour before meditation (although drinking water should be ok as I remember on those cold, dark December evenings, walking to my local TM centre and being offered boiled water to drink. So, it may have been that she was either being cheap or there really may be some health benefits to this). Anyways, all of these tips came from my knowledge that I learned from my TM teacher. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to respond. Happy meditating!

@@winstonsgreat Hi, Lauren, I'm sorry I did not reply to you straight away, I just left a lengthy response below to a John Moseley. I hope that your experiences with TM are well. If you would like, I could post a video on my channel 'Lyric Hat', explaining the tips verbally. All the Best and Happy Meditating! - Harry (Lyric Hat)

@@harrylongofficial6248 Much obliged. Very helpful.

you focus on the mantra in the front of your mind, and you will just breathe naturally automatically

Hi Adam, I was foolish and payed a lot of money to be taught by a lady who was taught by the Maharishi back in the 60’s. I started learning back in December of last year under the Maharishi Foundation. I think I can help you out here. Step 1. Make sure your sat up straight making sure your back is not crooked (prop a pillow or two behind you). Step 2. (And this is where I think your issue may be), you need to close your eyes and do nothing for roughly 1 minute. Then you can proceed with saying your mantra in your head (the speed, pitch and pronounciation that you use the mantra cannot and should not be controlled by you, it should come as it is, do not manually change the speed, pitch or pronounciation midway through your meditation because the mantra may come to you slightly differently on each session). Step 3. When you begin repeating your mantra in your head, do not cling to. My teacher always said “innocently favour the mantra”, you know your doing it right when you stop repeating it and are in a thought for a few seconds until you then realise you have drifted and should return to the mantra. Step 4. Repeat the process or repeating the mantra and drifting to thought. You will find some thoughts pleasent, horrible, happy, angry, weird and some just plain won’t make sense but it is important to realise they hold no importance and that you shouldn’t interporate their meaning, their just a product of you removing negative clutter. Step 5. When you feel 20 minutes have been (or you have an app with a timer that sounds a gong after 20 minutes), then it is important that you do not come out and open your eyes straight away. What you must do is, stop the mantra and very slowly start coming out of any thought you were in, taking roughly 2-3 minutes to very slowly open your eyes. Remember, breathing should not be deep during this form of meditation, it should be the opposit, shallow, un-noticable and calm. If you think you have to focus on your breathing and mantra, then you are wrong. Only the mantra, breath as you would watching the television, doing the ironing, my point is when your doing those things, do you think of your breathing? No, Because your focused on the task at hand. Transcendental Meditation is no different, your just closing the eyes and focusing on the mantra, not the breathing. I really hope this helped you Adam, please try this out and let me know if it helped, I really would like to know. All the best!

@@harrylongofficial6248 great feedback !!! thank you so much! However I have to clariy something: i dont focus on the breahing, but I feel like I am not breathing properly when focusing on the mantra - I get the feeling that I am going to blow up in my head and chest.... Also, some weeks iget the technqieu and transcend and other weeks I just plane dont...I have trasncended before, so mayb is it because I dont do it a consistent time each day?

@lyricHatTV you cleared my cofusion. Be blessed.

Aryeh Siegel is a former Transcendental Meditation teacher who left the cult and reveals its hidden Hindu practices. He is the author of "Transcendental Deception". Learn more at Transcendental meditation is presented as a secular practice with no religious affiliation. As a former TM teacher, I can attest that the truth is exactly the opposite. THE PUJA - AN OLD HINDU RITUAL A puja is an ancient Hindu ritual or ceremonial worship, the purpose of which is to create a channel of transmission from a Hindu god to whoever performs or participates in the puja ceremony. Objects of worship can be various Hindu deities or gurus who are believed to embody the divine. While Maharishi seems to have made it up, there are many variations of pujas, but all of them serve essentially the same function. In puja, offerings are made to the object of devotion, often represented by a painting or an idol, in order to deserve his love and blessings. The offerings - usually fruits, candles, incense, flowers - symbolize the devotion of mind, body, thoughts, desires, actions and possessions to divine beings or gurus and enjoy everything that may come back as a gift from them. The deity or guru, whose image is worshiped in the puja, is considered to be the living incarnation of the deity. They are treated as if the deity had descended from above and actually inhabited the image.
