I’ll begin by saying that the Transcendental Meditation technique sounds more complicated than it really is. It’s been four years since I was gifted a TM course in New York City, and I’ve found it simple and easy to practice.
At first, I was reluctant to learn TM for several reasons. As an avid practitioner of yoga, I had read many books and taken many courses on meditation. So I was certain that I knew what meditation was and did not feel it would really benefit me.
Well, that’s the mind for you. You find a precious jewel and then toss it away because you feel you have enough or perhaps already have exactly the same thing. But now, given my experience with Transcendental Meditation, having actually practiced it, I can say it has not only changed but also saved my life.
