How To Learn Transcendental Meditation

By Marinda Kleijweg


Meditation is to relax ones mind and body. To be in state of restful alertness or restful awareness without falling asleep. The mind remains alert and awake during this restfulness and no loss of consciousness as during sleep. It helps to clarify the mind, improve health and freedom from tension, anxiety and stress.

There are many forms of meditation but the most profound is TM technique. TM stand for Transcendental Meditation. The program changes the quality of life from poverty, emptiness and suffering to abundance, fulfillment and happiness.

Right now, you probably don't believe YOU have the ability to shape and alter the reality you live in. Looking back though, you've experienced times where you'd focus on a desire, and all of a sudden it would appear in your life. This used to happen to me all the time. I'd want to see a specific movie on television, and the next day, lo and behold, there it was. Like most people though, I relegated the appearance of these desires to chance. I didn't yet realize that my thoughts had a direct correlation to the reality in which I lived.Listen, I'm not asking you to believe that your entire reality is created by your thoughts. But you should know that your thoughts and beliefs play a prime role in shaping your reality. Realizing this allows you to see the value in meditating every day. Meditation will allow you to slowly destroy negative thought patterns and beliefs; beliefs which prevent you from making a lot of money.

The Lowdown on Meditation - The Easy Way.Meditation is all about letting your thoughts flow without trying to stop them. Sit down, focus on your breathing, and watch your thoughts just like you'd watch the clouds go by. It's that easy. I like to compare it to standing on a busy street, just watching as people pass by. You don't get attached to any one person, instead, you simply observe. After practicing meditation consistently, you'll find that the street naturally gets less and less busy (so to speak). Now, if a specific thought persists allow your mind to flow with it.

Regular practice of TM taps the field of energy within ourselves to enhance our lives. We tap the source of intelligence and daily we are more intelligent. We tap the source of energy and daily we are more energetic. We tap the source of creativity and daily we are more creative.This process by which one contacts the source of pure creative intelligence(C.I.) at the basis of the thinking process, allowing C.I. to be expressed in greater clarity of the mind, greater efficiency of action and increasingly fulfill achievements in daily life.

People might tell you this is cheating, that meditation requires a lot of effort and years of practice. This is bull. People who tell you this are scared of change, and they usually have their egos attached to meditation. To reach the deepest levels of meditation you have to be willing to try new methods and techniques until you find one that is right for you. We've found that after using these audio programs for three weeks (in the morning and before going to sleep) we've been able to slow down and analyze our thoughts on a regular basis. This means we can now begin to change the thoughts we have to the ones we want to have. This will be the basis for our next article, but for now you should have an idea of what you have to start working on. Here's what you have to do:

Download or purchase an audio program that claims to help your meditation. Experiment for yourself until you've found one you're comfortable with.Start using one of these audio programs both in the morning and before going to sleep. Mark down on a calendar when you began your practice.Be consistent in your practice for at least three weeks.Also, take note of how much money your bankroll has increased or decreased by in that three week period.After three weeks, write down the negative thoughts you most often have Write down the thoughts you'd like to replace them with.

In 1958, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi formally introduced his transcendental meditation technique. Since then, he has written several books, lectured and toured extensively all over the world and trained over 40,000 teachers. Transcendental meditation is now practiced in the workplace, at home and in medical settings. In addition, doctors and health professionals are increasingly prescribing transcendental meditation as means of combating anxiety disorders and stress.

You may be wondering what is transcendental meditation and what makes it different from other forms of meditation? One of the most exciting elements of the transcendental meditation technique is that it so simple and easy to practice. With the right focus and dedication, you can learn transcendental meditation in a matter of moments.

Everyone noticed the change," Andy added.Grosswald explained that there is substantial research showing the effectiveness of the TM technique for reducing stress and anxiety, and improving cognitive functioning among the general population. "What's significant about these new findings is that among children who have difficulty with focus and attention, we see the same results. TM doesn't require concentration, controlling the mind or disciplined focus. The fact that these children are able to do TM, and do it easily shows us that this technique may be particularly well suited for children with ADHD," she said.This study was funded by the Abramson Family Foundation and the Institute for Community Enrichment.A second, recently completed TM-ADHD study with a control group measured brain function using electroencephalography (EEG). Preliminary data shows that three months practice of the technique resulted in significant positive changes in brain functioning during visual-motor skills. Changes were specifically seen in the circuitry of the brain associated with attention and distractibility. After six months TM practice, measurements of distractibility moved into the normal range.A third, $2 million TM-ADHD study, to be funded in part by a grant from The David Lynch Foundation, will more fully investigate the effects of the technique on ADHD and other learning disorders.

To them I say "As a matter of fact, you aren't exactly paying for it," This amount of money, as significant as it may be to many of us, will help support a world wide non profit organization, but does not provide a measure of the value of this technique. Because in truth, no amount of money can equal what Transcendental Meditation gives to us. The cost of learning the Transcendental Mediation technique is less than the cost of a one-week cruise or a family trip to Disney World. And no price can be placed on one's inner stability, happiness and the benefits that the Transcendental Meditation technique gives us.

It's a simple effortless technique that brings improvement to all areas of life by creating a healthier body and a more efficient, fully functioning brain that is free from stress and anxiety.What price can we put on improved health, increased energy, creativity, happiness, better relationships and growing self-actualization? All this and more is possible according to the more than 600 published research studies and scores of theoretical papers, PhD dissertations and critical reviews from all over the world.
