The best advice I received to get to transcendental state is : DON'T SEEK A RESULT ! The more you push to get to a result the less probable you will experience something, and the more you let go of any will/whish to get a result, the fastest and intense it will happen. In summary : abandon the thought that you are there using your time for a purpose to be fulfilled. You are not meditating to ”do and get somewhere”, you are meditating to ”not do”, you are meditating to "BE without doing / thinking anything". That status of mind requires to stop wanting, stop feeding your brain with thoughts, so that you experience the incredible calm and inner presence of yourself without thoughts. When this happens you will feel in paradise, literally. Much much better than a good smoke, because natural ... about paying for TM, it is not needed, you can learn by yourself, but it's true that a good coach can definitely help. I have paid and I have ZERO regrets for having spent that money, more : because I paid, it pushed me to do it seriously. TM is the medicine that, without doubts, has helped me the most to fight my anxiety andvget back in balance.
Wow! I love this. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I plan on making a year review of my practice, and what has helped me to continue.
This advice will definitely help me with my practice. Thank you!
@@bertg5929 hi Bert, very welcome and best luck with your practice ! This 🌎 needs soooo much people helping people to find inner peace and joy. You can definitely contribute 😉
@@francisdebriey3609 I couldn’t agree more! 🙏
I think a more accurate way to say "meditating to 'not do" is that you are meditating to meditate. It is its own reward, and everyone who does it for long enough knows it. It's not always pleasant- sometimes it roots out things that are more like taking off a band-aid, or pouring the antiseptic on a wound that allows it to heal, and for a while, it's even sometimes unpleasant- but at the end, you healed and feel better. Better than you were before.
I just paid and learned TM about a couple weeks ago. I've had good results a few times. And probably would have had even more good meditations but I wasn't doing them twice a day religiously like I feel should be done for the most benefit. I've noticed that I am more compassionate toward people and that my ego is not as needy as it used to be and I'm not taking things as personally...
But my main reason for replying is to set the records trade about the cost. I was given a brochure and it's also online stating that there is a sliding scale fee. If you receive federal assistance they do not charge a penny to teach you. Students Have a reduced rate. I make less than $50,000 annually so my cost is $135 * 4 payments.
They go on the honor system, and won't ask for any paperwork showing that your'e receiving assistance or even what your salary is.
So please give it a try and you'll probably be very happy that you did.
As a meditation teacher and practitioner for the past 45 years, and having learned a number of techniques, I do feel that mantra meditation is the best way to practice meditation at this time. I paid $500 for the TM Training (absolutely no regrets), and I teach a 'generic' version in my own classes, using the mantra Ah Hum (this is a mantra that Deepak Choprah also uses). He used to be heavily involved with the TM Organization till he had a falling out with Maharishi, but that's another story. My simple advice to my own students is this: if you are tired of suffering, then make a commitment to sit still and practice at least 20 minutes a day, no matter what. The results will speak for themselves.
I love this! Thank you for sharing this with me.
I met Deepak, total D-bag
From that one interaction I’m taking Maharishi’s side without knowing anything lol
Heyn would you agree to teaching this online if it is possible?
I have paid over $1000 for transcendental meditation from a registered TM practioner from their official website. And what you said in this video is basically the same thing they taught me. Great work! The only thing I'd like to add to your video from what I learned is it's okay to say your mantra slower or faster as my teacher told me. But I'm glad you're sharing this with the world. Hope more people see it and change their lives with this amazing practice.
I appreciate your comment. Most of the people Who paid for T.M. leave rude/negative comments... Thanks so much for sharing this with me.
The organization is a money making scam, you learn TM from anybody
$1000!!!! To meditate! Like if these people actually cared about anything besides money it would be free or by donation.
I thank you very much for your comment ❤❤❤❤❤
Mantra chanting while doing any type of meditation opens up the different energy centres of the body. Mantra and Tantra science is a part of Indian mythology. I have been practicing TM meditation, Kundalini, Guided meditation since long. Meditation also called ध्यान in India, conscious state of mind, body and soul alignment. Every one should live in meditation and die for meditation. A person who meditates, discovers the internal pearl of the body not the external self. When this self awakening occurs, then even death will come dancing to a meditative person. Om.
Love this! Thank you for sharing!
Hey dude.I did pay for the course but only to confirm my mantra (which I had already got online..curiosity got the better of me), As you'll see from the mantra table its simply based on age and sex. Nothing mysterious. Someone at one point assigned meaningless word to males and females in certain age groups. ITs not special at all and you can use any meaningless word. Sit comfortably and spend a minute or two finding some calm. I literally say 'lets find some peace and quiet' a handful of times while and this is possibly more important (and has links to nearly everything) slowing your breath down to around the 5or 6 in to 7 or 8 out.) The breathwork alone without any mantras etc will put you into a parasympathetic state. Once you settled simply introduce your mantra along a similar pace to your breathwork (but just find a pace that suits you), I would suggest doing it for as lond as 15 mins but 20+ is better . The reason I say this is I find that after 10 + and certainly 15+ my thoughts and breathing have really settled and I more pften than not find my self transcending thoughts a bit easier (than just doing 10 mins. But I imagine this is different for everyone depending on how erratic your thoughts or state is that day). But. Do not overthink it. When thoughts come, recognise them like a paper boat floating past you on a stream and repeat your mantra again... If anyone feels bad about not paying I always just ask if you donate whatever you want to a local animal charity of your choice. Happy meditating everyone.
Hey! Thank you for watching, means a lot! this is great advice and something I actually recently started doing. Taking a minute or to to become relaxed has helped me so much rather than just sitting down and starting..
I really appreciate all the comments i've received that have added to my practice. I'm sure it will also help other as well! THANK YOU, again!
This is the best description of the practice on TH-cam. I’ve watched so many vague explanations where they don’t want to reveal the “secrets” because they want you to pay for a guide. Thank you!
I’m so glad that I could help with my video! 🙏 thank you for watching.
I took the course probably 25 years a go in Dallas Texas. They give you a secret mantra like you said "random word" kinda BS and you start out saying it very low whisper and gradually lower until the sound your saying is in your head. Say it in your mind and that's it man. Paying that much is stupid...
I appreciate your honesty about your experience, and for sharing your story.
Is that it? It's just repeating the mantra until you transcend?
@@ezrolly9898 yes. It’s about practicing everyday.
The Maharishi in an interview said the even the word 'Mike' can be used as a mantra. No wonder those who paid 1k get defensive. They were duped just like the followers of OSHO
What's your mantra?
My mantra is I Am. It loses its conscious meaning quickly but subconsciously it goes deep into the centre of being. I'm is all I need and I can sit like this for hours.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I have moved on to mindful meditation watching my breathe. I seem to be able to meditate longer with this method.

lvoe you! for sharing!
I studied TM in 1970 from my martial arts sensei (ex SF Army combat instructor in both Korea and Vietnam) who studied with Mahesh Yogi personally. You are kind of guessing here, but you are not far off from the topical things you learn in a 4 day course. There is a lot more to TM, but over the years, I explored many other types of meditation (Pranayana, Kundalini, Zen, etc.) and even sat for weekends with monks at Zen temples in Japan. The main benefit of TM is that it is simple, can be learned relatively quickly, and only needs to be done twice a day for 20 minutes. The mantra is not the main thing, as it is just a point of focus in order to "transcend." Too much is made of the mantra, and yes, anyone can invent their own, but my sensei picked one for me because of the sound, and because the syllables helped to creates a certain rhythm that he felt fit me (he said Yogi taught him that.) I still use it to this day, but there are many other forms of meditation out there people can learn for free or for a low cost. I feel that $200-$300 USD is about what a course is worth, and if you want to buy into a lifetime membership, another $200 would be about right. I would not pay $1,000+ for a TM course and would just take some mindfulness classes - and there are plenty on YT for free.
Thank you for sharing this. I love what you have to say. Would you mind if I used some of Your comment in my next video on TM? I totally understand if not or if you wish to stay anonymous.
@929 Yes, I prefer to remain private. My comment is here, and it was meant for you. Good luck to you. Keep on the path.
Thank you for your taking the time to help others. I am a firm believer in helping others will help your self at the same time. Peace to all humans.
I couldn't agree more! this is why I started this channel. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Interesting you mention feeling seasick. I had a profound transcendental experience sitting on my surfboard on a new years sunny morning. floating gently on the waves while starting at the sun light and the horizon while being completely without thought. Just a powerful smile and positive feeling towards life :) Thanks for sharing this.
Thank YOU for sharing this with me! that sounds amazing. Since I started practicing more often, plus changing my diet/lifestyle,I no longer get that feeling, or at least I haven't in about a year or so. I will be making an updated TM video soon! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
Thanks, appreciate this!! Was just wanting to try it and searching for the technique. Can't believe they turned ancient techniques into a Trade Mark that you pay so much for. Sickening and typical of narcissim alive and well within the spiritual 'communities'. Thanks again ! ❤
Glad I could help! And I totally agree. 🙏 have a wonderful day.
This has been the best explanation so far. No one teaches how to do it. They only share benefits ms you’re the best
I’m glad I could help! 🙏
Thank you for this. Can’t believe it’s $2,000 for just a word. I meditate on my own but was interested in finding out what TM meditation is compared to what I do. I basically sit in silence and let my thoughts flow in and out of my mind without attachment and sometimes my body starts spiraling and I feel energy moving up my body. Thank you again! You saved me $2,000! Will follow you now!
Where I’m from it’s more like 400-800 depending on income. And it’s a 3 day course. I understand it is a lot to charge but from what I understand part of it goes so they can teach it for free to certain groups (veterans, healthcare workers, first responders etc.)
Thanks for sharing this! I agree, Its a bit crazy. i heard they have ways of getting it for free if you can't afford it but I haven't looked into it myself.
I say if you have something that is working for you, and causing you to live a better life from it. than you are doing it correctly.
Om
You have a great vibe about you. I like that you approached TM and have worked with a Mantra. I am a teacher of TM (Independent of the organisation) and I can answer some of your points. The reason the Mantra is not said out loud is because it is a Beeja mantra, otherwise know as 'Seed' Mantra. The Mantra is introduced softly into the mind as a gentle thought. There is no strain involved. We do not link it to the breath or heartbeat on purpose, but if it naturally links with it, it is ok.
The process is supposed to be effortless, allowing the Mantra to do it's own work away from our egoic or intellectual efforts. From this the Mantra guides you to Samadhi. The process of the mind going to Samadhi is the Transcendent part.
I hope this is some help. Keep doing your thing my friend. You just got another Sub by me.
Thank you. I really appreciate you sharing this with us! And thank you for the sub I’ve been thinking about making an update video and this will really help me with that. 🙏
I have meditated before, but have not tried the TM approach seriously. Your kind chat has helped me to begin. Thank you!
Glad I can assist you on your journey! 🙏
Thanks man, much obliged for your channel. I do meditation and was curious about TM for the longest time.
Personally, meditation is up and down. Sometimes you hit Samadhi and other days the mind is really busy and hard to get into that state. You don't always achieve it no matter what 'they' say. I find I can be really grumpy afterward and my sensitivities are really heightened. Remember, it works on all your issues on a subtle level too, amongst things so things needing to be dealt with will come up for healing and processing. We've just got to roll with the troughs and peaks. I've been wanting to shift my channel in a similar vein. Thanks for your work, routing for you !
Thanks for the comment! I totally agree with it not being easy every time, some times I drift right to a peaceful state, but mostly my mind is busy and it’s hard to get started.
This is what I have been struggling with as well, I want to take my channel down a path of self help and discovery. But I have made a lot of other types of videos on this channel so I might start over on a new one.
Anyway thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏

Subscribed and liked, mate! I am looking on starting this type of meditation but TM have picked TH-cam clean of tutorials(by threatening with lawsuits and what not), so everyone of you guys, that is sticking it to TM(the corporation), is an OK bloke in my book. Hopefully, in a few years, you'll see this channel grown to 100k subs! Kudos!
Thank you! I should be making more videos on the topic soon! Thank you for subbing to my channel!
Great video, i agree with you that just going with the montra and letting the breath go on auto pilot seems to deliver me to trancendence. I meditate twice a day, the afternoon meditation i have trouble with falling asleep, i find taking a few deep breaths bring me back to the montra. In any case, this meditation i have found. Is powerfull.
Thank you for sharing. I agree, when I have trouble a few deep breaths with small holds helps me relax and fall back in. I too have trouble sleeping.
I used TM when I was in college. Thank you for the review. In my senior years, I’m finding myself when I returned to TM. I need that.
Thanks for watching. Tm is amazing and has helped me with so much.

You are so nice person ♥Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching!
thank you for sharing your knowledge !!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing🙏 It's crazy to me how exclusive TM is.
There seems to be more and more information out there. But I agree this is why I had to make this video. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot mate. I really appreciate you sharing your experience 👍
No problem 👍I appreciate you watching the video!
Thank you so much for this. This is an excellent description for people that have trouble in the beginning. Your experience mirrors mine and I paid for mine.
Of course! I’m glad I could help by sharing my story. I would love to hear yours as well. I feel like we can all learn from each other.
@@bertg5929, so I went through the D. Lynch foundation affiliated organization for TM. I was given the mantra “key ring” I. could. not. EVER. transcend. with. that. mantra! That was 7-8 years ago. I gave up. I did research and no one was doing any actual practical work on TM back then. But I found a guy on YT that does binaural vibrations and I have felt the beginnings of the “void” I call it, after 3 weeks. I searched here because the YT guy told me to “trust my instinct” when I asked about what I was experiencing but I needed concrete answers so I found you. I would sometimes fall asleep and violently jar myself awake believing I was doing something wrong. So you described other similar things I was experiencing so I’m at ease now. Again thank you.
@@joicain318 wow that’s amazing! I’m glad I could help clear something’s up for. And thank you for clearing up some things for me! I heard that the mantra should be something with no meaning. “Key ring” would definitely bring up things in my head.
@@bertg5929 yeah *sigh* imagine literally hanging off the edge of your chair on the last day of TM classes believing that you’re going to get an “om” style mantra only to be given the name of the object lying on the coffee table between you and your TM guide. I wanted to cry.
@@joicain318 I’m really sorry to hear this. But at least you are able to share your story now to help others. 🙏
Hi friend, loved your video. I took the Transcendental Meditation course in 1971 when I was 16 years old. It cost me and my sister $60. You are right about the secrecy of your own Mantra being BS. I believe the reason Transcendental Meditation class is now not easy to find is because it's too effective. Keep up the good work. I love you
Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I appreciate you and love you too! :)
Thank you, man! Gonna give it another go. I also really enjoy doing it with some special music (kinda Tibetan) for meditation and following the flow of it.
Love it! Keep trying! 🙏I use music sometimes as well.
thanks my man you are just a good person❤
This is an awesome, helpful video ! Thank you
Glad I couldn’t help! 🙏
Definitely love how you look at all different information and break it all down in your own view, subscribed. Also definitely thought about using your mantra before you said go ahead and use it 😂 it’s a good starting point until maybe I find one I like more
Thank you for watching! Im glad it help you get started! Also thanks for the sub! I will be making more content like this in 2024! :)
Thank you so much for your elaboration on that " secret" mantra, helps me saving my money. God bless!
You are so welcome. Glad I could help.
Just starting out, thanks for sharing some great tips
Of course. I’ll be making more video on the topic soon.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe there are some people that need the extra guidance but it never needed to be monetized the way that it has. Even Maharishi Mahesh said, "You only need to be shown what to do, then practice."
It's monetized because that's the American way. Put a price tag on everything and make it only affordable for the elite. It's been 15 years since I went to a TM intro class and I still don't have the money to learn it. I decided this year to not wait any longer and seek out videos I can learn TM from.
I agree. 😊 this is why I had to make this video! 🙏 Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video. The info is great 🎉🎉🎉

Glad I could help, brother!
Thanks! This was helpful
Glad I could help!
This was very helpful. Thank you. I was going to pay to learn it. Then i decided to look on youtube and surely enough. So helpful. Joyce
I’m so glad I could help with this! I will be making another channel where I make more videos like this one!
It's a great experience. I'm happy that I payed for it. You learn A LOT of important things that are not mentioned in any TH-cam videos that I've watched, including this one. That is, if you truly want to practice the practice that is known as Transcendental Meditation. You also get access to the TM community, which adds a great deal of value. Everyone that I've met so far has been happy they paid for the experience.
This video closely describes certain aspects of the practice, but this is most definitely not the practice.
@@gronksteady How much is it?
@@davideisenhower1342 Depends on your area and income. It was $880 for me split into 4 monthly payments
Very helpful thankyou
Glad I could help! Happy meditating! 🙏
Good video Matthew!
😅 Thanks! and the names Albert!
Thank you
Of course! I just uploaded my one year review as well! :) Happy meditating!
I appreciate this video 🙏🏼✨
I appreciate you!
Who’s ready for the new creation! It’s ready for all the children of the new light. Let’s get our light bodies moving because Mother Earth is having troubles staying grounded in this old earth now…. Tiem to rise above my beautiful children, release love you are ready! The golden gates await you all!
Thank you for this video and your time. Sending you all abundance of love - 🌷☀️🪷
Thank you for this! you are right! It is time!!
Nice vid,thx
Thank you!
Thank you for explaining that. Charging money for something that simple should be illegal.
I agree! I will be making a new video soon talking about how I feel and the techniques I’m currently using
Tanks man
Your welcome! :)
Thanks very much for this, very helpful. One question, as I internally recite the mantra my mind naturally, occasionally varies the pitch. Probably my mind trying to stay 'interested'. Should I make the effort to keep the mantra as one monotone? cheers
Hello! Thank you for watching! It does not matter how you say it fast, slow, high pitched, or low.. as long as you are repeating it, you are doing it!
Have you continued with the TM stuff? I have had difficulty repeating a mantra without timing it with the breathing.
I’ve actually switched to just following my breath. I too was unable to unmatch my breath to the mantra. But I will get back to it one day!
I had this problem at first as well but then I realized, wait? I'm not actually saying this outloud...it's in my head why do I feel like it has to be in rhythm with my breathing. Like he says your breathing should take place naturally on its own anyway being that it's controlled by your limbic system.
I too am conflicted on using the mantra in combo w/ breaths. I use both simultaneously but might try just doing one.
I talk about how to separate the breath from the mantra in this video. Forget about what the breath is doing and only focus on your mantra. The breath will do what the breath does.
Thx
Absolutely !
I did this as a child when my dad taught me and yes I am from India. Nothing fancy or secret.
Just say AUM in your mind without saying or with and you can also concentrate on a dot in a wall that works the same too.
That helped me a lot to concentrate and keep chaos out of it.
Do not complicate it. That's it , do it for next 3 month for 30 minute a day or even 10 minutes. That’s all.
Thank you for this comment, I am sure it will help out a bunch of people.
Thank you! Very helpful for me!
Of course! Glad I could help! 🙏
Imho, do not pay for TM. Mindfulness meditation with breathing will get you the same result, the result being an overwhelming feeling of ecstasy, bliss and calm, leading to an overall more quality life.
Sit with your spine straight so your body will breath more naturally with the diaphragm, but keep your muscles relaxed. I recommend keeping your eyes closed and breathing through the nose, but you can try it in other ways more comfortable to you. Pay attention to, but do not "focus" on, your breathing. "Feel" your breath going through your nose, feel your daiphragm working, feel your lungs expanding and contracting, but breathe naturally, don't force it. Try not to "try", don't fight your thoughts, let them come and go like drifting clouds, and ease in to your breathing once the thoughts go. If you do it right, after a while you will feel a surge of warm, positive feelings flood your body, almost like an orgasm, except not sexual in the least. You will also feel as if your body dissapated into your surroundings.
It does not matter if you use a mantra or your breath, the point is for your brain to latch on to a calming notion to drown out all of the "noise" up there.
Thank you for sharing! I agree. I think find what works best for you. I no longer use a mantra. I just watch my breath. It does wonders and can even get rid of acute headaches
I think there’s a common misconception that the more out of body/less grounded, the better. But, it’s actually the more in body and grounded you are, the higher you can go
I love that! Thank you for sharing!
Interesting, i think theres situations for both. Out of body and hypnotic meditations for end of day and before bed,in body and grounded to start the day has beennbest for me. Or hyponosis/deep meditation for when i need to just escpae for a while
Waoh what a good video!:) Are you still doing it, did it get even better? Also do u say the word outloud, or just in your head? I'm not sure my surroundings would like if i'd start talking randomly outloud:D
Hey! thanks for watching. I still do it in the mornings. I switched to watching the breath at night. I don't say the mantra out loud, just in my head!
There is a process to it similar to primordial sound meditation. Check out Dr. Tony nader’s human physiology and anatomy through the Vedic text. It is the sound matched with your age, gender ect…
Interesting! I will definitely be checking this out.
I have been practicing TM more consistent. So I want to make a new video soon!
I have done Primordial Sound Meditation, based on your birth chart. One mantra is Om Dom Nama; the only thing that varies is the middle sound, based on when you were born. Tha first and last sounds are always retained , no matter when you were born.
As far as I can tell, the only reason to keep a mantra secret so as to avoid the ego attaching to it. It's not like you have to work hard to keep it secret, you just don't say it outloud and simply do not speak of it in general in the same way you would keep all of your spiritual path to yourself. The second its out there, it's a physical attachment, an identity. You become Bert G the spiritual guy who says Om Sha La a lot and that goes against the whole reason of us being on this path.
This is very interesting. I've never looked at it this way. How are we to be guide for others who are seeking some sort of guidance if we keep it all to our selves?
Wow just did my first try in my room this morning with just a fan on for noise. I tried sha la ohm. It was quite difficult I’ll be honest! My mind definitely tries to go off in different thought directions and I was constantly having to redirect focus back to sha la ohm. Not sure if that is doing it wrong?
Eventually my thoughts started taking over no matter how fast or slow I repeated the mantra. It was almost straining to get to the 10 mins and my brain was ready for it to be done, but at the same time I about fell asleep.
Maybe next time I’ll try 5 mins and work my way up. It is interesting how challenging that was
Thank you for sharing this. You are definitely not doing it wrong. There really is no wrong way to Meditate.
The more you practice the less your thoughts will interrupt. your brain is like a muscle, every time you bring your awareness back to mantre your practice grows stronger.
keep at it, twice a day. Once in the morning and at night. also trying changing your mantra is after a week or so that one doesn't resonate with you.
I hope this help.
Great video and thank you for making it. Just a suggestion if you don’t mind: I would slow down in your speaking because I’m trying to be calm and centred and your fast talking is a bit disruptive. Maybe that’s just me. But I’m a fast talker too and I’m learning to just slow down. There’s no rush. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
Hey! thanks for watching. That is a great suggestion. I have actually been work on slowing down my speech as I noticed it is very fast, lol my next video should be a lot better in at regard. Thank you again for watching!
The mantras used, is seed mantras wich match chakras.
As fare as I know by my own searching.
You can actually look up your mantra the way they do. I believe it is the vibration of the time and place you were born. but i'm not to sure.
I truly appreciate this video! Does anyone know if it's ok to mix it with binaural beats?
I use nature sounds or binaural beats depending on the day. I think it’s fine. Whatever helps you get into the mood.
It feels like when you get out of a ride.. That was goin too fast.. And your feet just touch the ground like you are on a boat wave.. It done that to me twice.. Once inside the store.. Then once at home .it lasted like 2 seconds
I definitely agree with this. Thanks for sharing!
No one can tell you or teach you how to do TM. Spend the money and take the TM program from an instructor. It's well worth it.
Wouldn't that be someone teaching you? 😅 jk.
I agree, this video is for those who cannot afford it but are still interested.
I use " I AM" also. It's the only escape from identification with mental chatter (for me).
I've found that patiently waiting for some elusive etherial peaceful state was also an error/ misunderstanding. The mind, or pain body, as some call it does NOT want to be second fiddle. The more we use it to construct elaborate theories of how to attain enlightenment, the stronger its hold. It's like a manipulative child. The more the parent gives in, the more the child ultimately suffers.
One can and should "shout" with your whole being ( not necessarily out loud lol), I AM. it is the truest part of you asserting itself into this physical world. You're not asking. You are TELLING: "I AM!!!, so don't try to fool me/block me with any word salad, over-thinking BS. Get out of the way. I AM".
...feel like you are a king or Queen letting your kingdom know that you have arrived and are in charge.
I love this. Thank you for sharing! 🙏 I know a few friends that use I am as well. We must use what works for us.
My instructor taught me not to do the mantra, but to let the mantra happen without ANY effort.
Problem is that when I stop trying, the mantra stops and there’s silence. It only begins again when I try.
I get what they were saying. When saying your mantra try to let it just happen, don’t focus to much on it. While doing this thoughts will appear, but like a wave let them pass.
At least I think that’s what they meant.
Thanks for sharing! 🙏❤️
Where/how can one get a guide, any advice on where to look, where to go please?
Hello, are you looking for a meditation guide? you could always go to your local yogo studio and see if they offer any classes on meditation. Also, I am both a meditation and a breath coach. send me your email and we can discuss maybe working together.
I think I used to do Om Namah Shivaya/Shiva back when I used mala beads. I’m not even Hindu or anything, I just tried it out. But I’m not sure if that was transcendental or not, but I did use mantra. 😅
Hey! I think its transcendental if you are using a mantra to meditate. I am constantly changing how I do it. it depends on how i feel that day. Thank for sharing.
👌
:)
Hey. Cannot quiet my mind. This is why I can't sleep and wake up frequently. My last time I tried to meditate I focused solely on watching the blackness inside my eyes. This really helped. I could repeat my mantra. Is it still considered meditation or am I cheating ?
Hey! This is funny you mention focusing on the blackness in your eyes. I recently started doing this as well and it has helped me tons!
And yes, to answer your question it still counts. Meditation is a practice of quieting your mind. I hope this helps, and I hope you continue practicing! It should help with sleep in the long run as well.
Also, check out the book "the Unwavering power of focus. This practice will improve your meditation practice.
The TM organization does sliding scale &/or scholarships. I think I paid $150 in 2017. Just ask them & they will accommodate you. I rarely do it twice a day because I almost can’t imagine being THAT blissful. Isn’t that funny? I’m gearing up to it!
I've definitly heard this from a few people. I try to share that info with anyone who is interested. Thank you for sharing this!
My montra is a modified vibration of OM. It is IAM
I love that! Thank you for sharing this with me!
Love this
Thanks brotha! Imma start making more videos like this.
What if a thought comes to mind that makes me feel a lot of anxiety or sadness? And what if a thought arises but I still listen to the mantra?
When thoughts come in that give you feelings just return to you mantre. if you focus on that unstead of the thought the feeling will eventually pass. I know at first it seems like things arent working but the more you do it the less you will feel anxiety from your thougths or you will be able to just let it pass easier.
I had this problem when I first started. thoughts would come in while I was repeating my mantra.. Thats when I would stop and slow my mantra down a but so that IU can focus on it fully.
I hoped this helped.
Check out this book by Joanie Higgs, “Effortless deep meditation: how to transcend without trying and meditate like a pro”. Worth your time if you are trying to learn on your own without paying a thousand dollars.
I will definitely check this out! thank you for sharing!
i feel like when i do guided meditations i am much more focused because i am always hearing that guided voice. when i have no background sound and only this mantra it feels weird
guided meditations are simply relaxation techniques. Mantra meditations are powerful meditation techniques which will profoundly affect your brain, mind, metabolism and even digestion ( hence cannot meditate near meals).
There is nothing wrong with that! Start small maybe 5 minutes a day of mantra meditation. The guy above explained it perfectly. Guided are great for relaxing which we all need. But maybe once a week or for just 5 mins a day try a mantra.
My TM is Juggling 🤘
Flow state! love it!
Does anyone know if it's acceptable to listen to music during?
It is. You can use meditation music, nature sounds or even binaural beats. I’m going to make another video on the topic soon. 🙏❤️
Can you do TM and Japa with a different mantra on the same day
Yes absolutely . The tm mantra is to focus your mind, so you can get into a meditative state.
The japa is meditative too but it's more like creating a certain kind of energy through words. You can perfectly mix both. my question is if its ok to mix tm technique with binaural beats 🤔
I live in a noisy shared flat, I can't have silence to practise it and youtube binaural are helpful
I think if it helps you get into it, then I see no problem with using binaural beats with TM.
Now what kind of meditation can i use for teleporting, i want to travel
Astro projection. Or take a plane, 😉
I kept hearing, "listen to the frequency", so I find the lowest frequency and focus on that
Love that! This is a very interesting take! Thank you.
