FREE LESSONS on TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION
Breathing: Transcendental meditation involves passive breathing; no breath control procedures are employed and no specific pattern is prescribed.
Attention and its object: Transcendental meditation is described as not requiring any strenuous effort, concentration, or contemplation. However, meditators are instructed to direct their attention to the mantra.
Spirituality and belief: The transcendental meditation technique has a theoretical framework that is described in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s writings on the nature of transcendental consciousness and the principles underlying the TM® technique. However, it is unclear to what extent this theoretical framework, including any of its implications for spirituality, is a part of the practice. Sources that discuss this issue contend that the practice of the technique requires no changes in beliefs, philosophy, religion, or lifestyle, implying that the theoretical framework plays no role in its practice.
Training: Transcendental meditation is usually taught in a course comprising five to six hours of instruction over four days. General information about the technique and its effects is presented in a 1.5- hour lecture. More specific information is given in a second 1-hour lecture. Those interested in learning the technique meet with the teacher for a 5- to 10-minute interview. The participant learns the technique on a separate day in a 1- to 1.5-hour session, following a short ceremony in which the mantra is given to the prospective practitioner. The next three sessions consist of 1.5-hour meetings held in the 3 days following, in which further aspects of the technique are explained. The teacher explains the practice of the technique in more detail, corrects practice if necessary, and explains practical arrangements (e.g., when to practice), the benefits of practice, and personal development through the technique. In addition, the technique is regularly checked by the teacher in the first months of practice to ensure correct practice, and the student is advised to continue with periodic checks thereafter.
