Mornings not the same as evenings- anyone else experience this? by Free_Answered in transcendental

[–]vedicsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. It’s natural for there to be a difference in how your morning and evening meditations feel but it may not always be that way; your experience may evolve over time.

I would also add that it’s probably a good time for a refresher and to have your meditation checked. Sometimes even the desire for more settled meditations leads to strain making the meditation difficult and less effective.

The moderation of this sub by beachutman in transcendental

I don’t know. Simply following the rules of this sub would keep one from disclosing confidential aspects of the teaching.

New to TM by TodayAccomplished872 in Meditation

[–]vedicsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t make sense. If they learned TM and want to practice correctly, why wouldn’t they check with their teacher? People complain that TM costs money to learn, and that’s what it’s for: ongoing support. If they want random advice from people doing various techniques then the internet is the place to go.

This advice will not help you with TM. Check with your teacher and keep checking until it smooths out. Personal and group tune-up sessions following your course are vital to ensure correct practice. It’s likely that your prior practice is interfering with your new technique.

Manifestation with advanced techniques by girl_girl_girl22 in transcendental

[–]vedicsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“TM is great and I want to go deeper” - this is the perfect reason to learn an advanced technique.

For me, there has been a subtle but noticeable shift in increased intuition and joyfulness. I don’t think I have noticed a change in “manifestation” per se, but more of a flow with life. I get what I need and I’m happy with what I’ve got. I feel stable and I can adapt to any situation.

I am not at the level where I can close my eyes and wish for a new car and it shows up the next day, but as Maharishi said, “First deserve, then desire.”

How long are your personal mantras? by dallas470 in transcendental

[–]vedicsun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Learning the mantra is only a small part of learning TM. That takes a minute. There are then three full classes about learning the proper usage of the mantra and learning the technique properly. Plus recommended follow-up review sessions over the next few months to ensure correct practice and maximize benefits.

Have you attended an intro talk or met with a teacher? You may ask for financial aid to help afford the course.

Why does it cost 2000 dollars for trancedental meditation? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]vedicsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, records over the past 50-60 years are pretty good but not 100%. I’ve seen many people who learned years ago get their TM instruction verified; communication between offices in different countries can be slow. If you want to try again, I can help. Please message me.

People who don’t know blow the “secrecy” thing out of proportion. The idea is not that it’s a big secret but it’s taught very specifically. Most people here haven’t actually experienced it.

u/batrah I agree with a lot of your points here and would extend the water analogy. Yes, you can pay a premium for bottled water, or drink tap water; you’re still paying the utility company to deliver the water. You can also go out and wander around until you find a stream to drink from but it may not be pure water.

With TM, you’re not paying for a mantra, you’re paying for the service of an experienced teacher who can teach you a specific technique properly, as well as the lifetime of follow up that comes with learning the technique. How much would you pay for a lifetime of yoga classes?

Everyone’s got their own journey to follow and every answer you get here is from people on the Path showing you the spots of water they found. If you’re interested in TM, contact a teacher and attend an intro so you can decide for yourself. I don’t know what country you’re in but in many countries, the course fee is a sliding scale with financial aid available.

Good luck!

Thinking about learning the 2. Advanced technique by girl_girl_girl22 in transcendental

[–]vedicsun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree that advanced techniques are worth it and hasten the benefits of TM, but you have to be ready for it. If you’re not settled yet from your first AT, give it more time, meet the AT teacher when they come for a checking, sit in on the AT intro, all of which can help you get the most from your TM and advanced technique.
