Can I learn the Transcendental Stress Management Meditation from a book or a tape?
No. Each person is unique and has a different nervous system. Ensuring that you learn the technique properly at the pace that is correct for you requires personal instruction from an experienced teacher. Reading a book or listening to a tape cannot provide the experience of pure consciousness and the corresponding state of restful alertness that TSM brings. A book can’t answer all of the questions, at the right time, that people might have while learning the practice. With proper personal instruction, you can enjoy the technique for the rest of your life as well as all of the benefits it naturally unfolds.
