Do i have to pay to learn about transcendental meditation?
Yes, you do have to pay. Quite a lot, actually. Basically what Maharishi Mahesh Yogi did is rip off thousands of years of Indian mystic tradition, package it up nicely as TM, and sell it to Westerners. But all the techniques of meditation are in the public domain. For what it’s worth, this is how you do TM. Sit quietly and relax with your eyes closed. Slow your breathing. Repeat mentally a single-syllable mantra. Just let things happen without striving for a particular mental state. Eventually your mind will stop wandering and will become still and calm. Stop after 20 minutes. Do this twice a day. That’s all there is to it. You might find that Buddhist meditation is more highly developed.
