Anyone got any info on the technique. I have bought a couple of books but says you have to learn from a teacher. It all seems a little cultish so hoped some people may have some info about the technique. They have some pretty grand claims of it's ability.
i was wondering what TM was... sounds like the title of one of Paramahansa Yogananda's books. edit:: the title of the book was "trancendental meditation"
Part 1; Starting mantra meditation Mantra "RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM" repeating for a certain set amount of time once or twice a day Mind "this isn't gonna work, it's a stupid word repeated, so what if it's a name for god, i'm bored, this is tought, i'll never be good enough, this won't work, I wanna play video games, I want to go out, I want to masterbate, i want I need, I'm bored" Heart: Come home friend! Mind; What did i hear something? What was that/ Part 2: (Practice, practice practice) MANTRA: "RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM" repeating for a certain set amount of time once or twice a day Thoughts getting quieter Mind getting still Mind "All sorts of things" Heart: OPEN! FREE! WHEEEE god wants to play! Side-effects: Happiness, bliss, self exploration and discovery, peace, calmness, lightness, mind becoming still, hearing more, cosmic joke feeling more, seeing more, becoming more aware, psychic stuff, siddhis, and so on PART 3; Total realization (comes when it comes) Mind: I am a servant of the divine heart, I do what I'm told. Heart: I AM! Beyond all suffering and attachment, the universe is your creation!
So part one of TM meditation is mantra meditation then GanjaPrince ? Just making sure I understand your post correctly. Thanks
the technique is a mantra technique, in which a word like "RAM' is repeated, the word is a RAM for god. The instruction is to repeat it, and when thoughts and things come up, to push them away by focusing on the mantra, in other words to transend through this technique... the technique is not just promoted by TM, mantra is an ancient technique for focusing the mind, stilling the mind, and opening the heart of eternal compassion. The TM people say do it 20 mins twice a day, i believe, it might be once a day not sure depends on the person I think. no reason, to pay so much money for it, unless you really are into the TM guru and his organization and want to help it. Look up mantra meditation or mantra on the web for more info, you'll find something...
cheers for the info GanjaPrince, apparently they used to put the technique into books. But stopped I guess because courses generate more money.
