Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has educated more than 40,000 instructors in Transcendental Meditation (TM) since 1958. These teachers have taught this easy, natural method to over six million people around the world, allowing them to achieve deep rest and connect with their inner wellsprings of creativity, vitality, and intelligence. The official Transcendental Meditation website, www.tm.org, provides this information.
What happens when you meditate?
The mind and body enjoy a unique level of peaceful alertness during TM practice. The body relaxes as the mind becomes more silent. The mind transcends all mental activity in the most stable level of consciousness to experience Transcendental Consciousness, the most basic kind of awareness. Hundreds of scientific studies have linked this state to increased creativity, improved learning, higher IQ, better grades, higher moral reasoning, increased brain wave coherence, and improved body neurological functioning.
TM can help you create more energy, creativity, and intelligence. This, in turn, aids in the awakening of the meditator’s mind and body’s limitless potential. As a result, people who practice TM have better health, happiness, and success in all areas of their lives.
How to meditate
Meditation is something that anyone can learn. There are no particular lessons, books, or equipment needed. People of all ages, nationalities, and educational backgrounds can practice TM.
TM is a simple and pleasurable experience that only takes 20 minutes twice a day to complete. You can do it by yourself or in a group. Choose a time and location when you won’t be disturbed. Then simply close your eyes and sit comfortably. There is no need for effort, concentration, specific abilities, or a lifestyle change. As you concentrate, thoughts will come and depart your mind. You have the option of attending to them or not.
Even if they don’t believe it will work, people can profit from TM. Try meditating for 20 minutes twice a day on a regular basis, and you will notice a difference in your life.
Practitioners of Transcendental Meditation (TM) were known to chant “OM” or another single-word sound while meditating in the 1960s when it initially became popular in the United States. This is no longer mandatory, however, it can still be done if desired. The majority of individuals today meditate in silence.
The benefits of TM
Within a few days or weeks of beginning to meditate, practitioners of transcendental meditation notice good improvements in their life. Clearer thinking, greater memory, more creativity, and a sharper brain are just a few of the advantages. People can achieve more in their profession by becoming more creative and successful without having to work harder as a result of these changes. Others have reported feeling healthier, more rested, and peaceful, as well as better disease immunity, reduced aging effects, and increased energy and vitality after beginning to meditate.
Even in interpersonal situations, TM can be beneficial. It can help you form stronger bonds with your friends, become calmer and more self-assured, and feel less anxious and agitated. TM may even contribute to world peace by spreading this greater harmony and absence of tension to the outside world.
According to the Maharishi, if you practice transcendental meditation on a regular basis, you can choose who you want to be and start working toward that objective. Why not give TM a try right now and see how your life changes?
