Teachers/instructors need to post proof as an OP and if one person in your area needs your services, there are bound to be more peope that are interested. or : Need a teacher/instructor? Need to find a organization that provides the "Quiet Time," program? Just put this in your title and explain your situation, location, and budget. or : Proposing an idea, statement, or a question (in this case, it is permissible to put a question tag as well) and allowing redditors to discuss Properly and not necessarily coming to a definite conclusion as a whole, but to make a conclusion with yourself. Can come from somebody who is not familiar with the practice, or an experienced 5-year-still-going-participant. or : Asking a question to the /r/transcendental community (Refer to the description for more context on what could be asked). Refer to DISCLAIMER for information about different experiences. Others can comment and discuss WITHOUT discrediting or judging their experience. or : Pertains to any experience you had with the TM and solely for the sake of sharing. In fact, don't be afraid to post experiences or information about the practice being uncomfortable and fruitless in its attempts at relaxation. There are plenty of forums where you can find answers from random people on the internet rather than trained TM teachers This isn't one of those forums.ĪGAIN The last thing I want for this subreddit to turn into a group of bumptious, ignorant, and stubborn redditors who think TM is better than other forms of meditation. Anyone who learned TM through official channels has the right to go to any TM center anywhere in the world, for free, for the rest of their lives and ask such questions, so it does no-one any good to attempt to provide such answers on internet forums. TM teachers are trained to answer such questions properly, both as far as the information goes, and as far as the proper context in which to answer them. Please do not post "How do I do?" questions nor attempt to answer such questions. It is fine if you talk about your process of meditation and experience but don't mention the actual mantra phrase that your instructor/teacher gave you, as this should be only kept between you and your teacher. Please post relevant content in terms of Transcendental Meditation, but don't be afraid to post comparisons between different meditations to TM UNBIASEDLY so as to not disparage other forms of meditation.įor your own sake, please don't post your mantra.

It is recommended that you do not eat before meditating, or when you are full. The process consists of around 30 seconds of attaining a sense of comfort and serenity, 15-20 minutes of effortlessly allowing your mantra (Given to you by your paid teacher/instructor) to resonate in your head in any way you allow it to, and finally 3 or more minutes of "getting out of" your meditation (releasing yourself from the mantra effortlessly, slowly starting to open your eyes, stretching.) This practice takes 15-20 minutes (depending on your age), and is done twice a day (Morning/afternoon).

If you have any pain, discomfort, or strange side-effects from TM, be sure to contact your instructor FIRST before coming to this subreddit for help. Also, everyone experiences TM differently and the effects are usually not immediate. I only am and have been an avid participant of the practice of TM for a year and a half. I am in no way affiliated with the TM organization monetarily and was not persuaded in any way by any members of the TM organization. Suggest TM schedules, teachers, and other activities to accompany the practice.Īlso to request AMA's of celebrities who practice the meditation!
