Pay for Meditation?

i learned meditation from online formus :
http://www.project-meditation.org/community/
and from few books: Meditation for everyone

Im thinking of singing up for meditation classes in the future

 

Hey guys, this is my first post. So here I go throwing my oar in. I have never paid for meditation. I was lucky enough to get a c.d. from the author and my friend Stephen Richards who writes about cosmic ordering. His c.d. uses hypnosis as a way to find stillness of the mind. That was nearly 5 years ago now. Today I meditate twice daily, morning and night. I have shown over 2 dozen individuals how I do it, people I know personally and family.
Some TM guys tried to argue with me that what I practice isn't meditation but I can't figure out how the hell they know what kind of experiences I have. Others are delighted I have achieved what I have in 5 years. All TM teachers are not created equal, that's for sure.
Before I took up meditation, my life was in a mess. My wife and kids lived in Seattle, while I was alone and jobless at home in Belfast, 7,500 miles away. Torture. I had no chance of even getting a return economy ticket. A friend introduced me to Stephen's works and things have got better from there. Frankly I don't care what anyone wants to call it because I'm back with my family, found self employment that pays many times better than any job I had before. Its no coincidence this happened. Have faith in what you do.

Isn't this what we all strive to achieve with meditation? A better existence? Happiness and peace of mind with greater understanding of everything around you?

If someone had demonstrated to me 5 years ago that wearing a dog turd on my head would get me these results I would have done it.

Truth is, if you seek you shall find. Pay someone or don't. Only you can determine if you practice something that takes you to a place of pure consciousness. A place where every single possibility exists.

Just my 2 cents, everybody is different. Find what works for you.

 

Meditation is definitely one of the main principles of yoga, as it is a good tool to use for achieving mental clarity and health. I regularly do yoga, including meditation also. I am happy and satisfied with what I do. Thanks.

 

When you do meditation (with someone else) you already get enough in return so why money?
If some people will give sth more in return why not?

 

Just shut up and close your eyes man...I know it's hard...
