A scientific introduction to Transcendental Meditation (TM) by Dr John Hagelin

[TranscendCircle]

@11thsockpuppet

Transcendental meditation is natural.

[angelwhite]

Around 5:05 you differentiate TM from mantra meditation. But every source I've looked at while trying to figure out *what it actually is* has said it is a form of mantra meditation.

[meditationchannel]

@angelwhite Other practices most often involve some concentration or control of the mind and others involve contemplation--thinking about something. These practices keep the mind active in some way on the surface thinking level. TM allows the mind to simply, naturally and effortlessly transcend thinking and experience a deep state of restfully alert consciousness. Take a look at this video: "Mantra and Transcendental Meditation explained by Maharishi"

Thank you so much for posting this. Wonderful.

@absurdityofknowledge Money isn't evil. Sharing your higher level teachings for money isn't evil either. In fact offering something of such high value for money is one of the best ways you could make money don't you think? Yes, you might make a choice to offer something for free, but on earth money is required to experience things. But money its self is very very easy to obtain if you have the right mindset. The thing to watch out for is people offering "instant enlightenment" for money.

THE AWAKENING IS HAPPENING. I believe everything happens for a reason. Ever since my personal awakening to the true reality we are all experiencing, as well as many friends, I believe the time has come for the people on this planet to unite through consciousness. RESEARCH THE PINEAL GLAND, DMT, ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM, QUANTUM PHYSICS, CHI ENERGY. Our time has come to become one. Positive>Negative

Wow~ This is greatt!! :D

[dilligaf450]

This guy is so eloquent and articulate i get the feeling he is an alien haha.

[TMMeditationInLondon]

Dr John Hagelin describes Transcendental Meditation extremely well. He is an excellent speaker

[Soldier957]

I want to do TM just because I have so much respect for this man.

[integraleric]

Nice video. Keep them coming. I love to learn all I can about meditation and the brain.

[AuroraSunset]

is that kyle gass?

[guruartist]

The lack of a universal right to education is one of the main ills of our current "civilization". Poverty will always be there, because only few privileged have access to books, + an appropriate education. The day that people in all the corners of the planet become "academically" self-sufficient, this day, there will also be a craving for the "cultivation" of the self and of real consciousness awakening, social interaction and "refinement!!

[mchoneyg]

Hi Dr.Hagelin, Thank you very much for your kind information.

[wodrummerworld]

so then, How do you do it!?

[WellConditionedChimp]

this guy needs a hit

[Moonserpent9]

If this is all true,it should be made available to the average Joes out there who don't have hundreds of dollars to spend to be initiated.

[chockfish]

But why is he selling it?

[HughieDixon]

I've always though of myself as a global citizen. Is that what he means? Well, I find being attached to a nationality so limiting. I can't stand that small mentality. Football crowds etc. lol

[quantumtripper]

David Lynch has been doing TM for 35 yrs. Yet he smokes cigarettes. Maybe the health benefits of TM will cancel out the effects of smoking?

[TheMorbiousStone]

this guy is very strange

[xirishmagicx]

The chart at 5:00 shows that TM had much better results compared to mantra meditation....... doesn't TM use mantras? lol

[LightTheWay2012]

This is aweesome and groundbreaking....

[christagabanyi]

An accomplished physicist reveals the correspondence between the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature and Transcendental Consciousness experienced in Transcendental Meditation–it is one and the same field of infinite creativity. The implications of this finding esp for health & education is presented in great detail using visual aids. World-transforming knowledge along with Hagelin‘s charisma make this video a winner.

[MaharishiIndia]

I like this video. It is good information about Transcendental Meditation by Maharishi. I work for Maharishi Schools in India and practice Maharishi Ji's teachings in my life. Thanks, Jai Guru Dev, Jai Maharishi

[colloredbrothers]

@MaharishiIndia

tell me how to practice TM then :p

[AlenaCitterbergova]

Thank you for this very comprehensive introduction of TM. It is quite short yet it provides very deep explanation about wide range of benefits of TM. I can listen to it again and again.

[2HundredPercent]

How much of the science in this is controversial, and how much is pretty much accepted now days? Like, is unified field theory agreed upon by most physicists, or is it still just one of several ideas in the pot?

[isatis55]

There is actually no rigorou scientific eplanation in his speech. Something can be "scientifially proven" because of statistical studies, which show a such or such causal relationship. We know the effects but not the process which brings us form the act of meditating to this effect. Why? because it concerns this mysterious and untractable brain. Some very recent brain theories are able to show the relationship between thought and neuronal activity (HTM theory). This would have a big inpact.

[frandra]

So clear to true & pure Sciene supporting everything what is good to life!

[11thsockpuppet]

i am against any kind of medication, including transcedental medication. I prefer natural remedies.

[ShivamShantam]

hagelin is good at speaking - I think. He explains transcendental meditation very scientifically

[meditationchannel]

@ShivamShantam Yes, Dr Hagelin is a Quantum Physicist from Harvard University. He also spent a lot of time directly working with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi the founder of Transcendental Meditation.

[TheWayshowerTube]

Deep meditation or transcendantal meditation, and meeting god and planets have totally change my perspective but also an accelerating of conceiving information.

[alexdalyno1]

amazing ,meditation has changed my life

[meditationchannel]

@alexdalyno1 Great, recently the Transcendental Meditation organization has provided scholarships for over 120,000 students to meditate. So literally 100,000's of thousands of lives are being improved each year.

[goodforthemoney]

One question how long did the Maharishi live.

[kickjackpip]

Wonderful! True science.

[arzoyan]

A truly harmonious coordinated world can be achieved when we reclaim OUR EARTH from tyranny of capitalism an anti human/life

mechanism of exploitation for the interest of a few the functional holes are just the neurological manifestation of this evil system.

[13314u]

@arzoyan Well said.

[arzoyan]

Dear John thanks so much for your teachings and i would like to add that the way human society has evolved to is one of competative drive for profit for a tiny minority, this has a profound effect on everything from our health to our enviornment, CAPITALISM is an outdated way of satisfying our material as well as our emotional need WE NEED TO RECLAIM OUR WORLD FROM TYRANNY OF CAPITALISM . A WORLD TO SHARE FOR OUR COMMON WELL BEING AND ALL GENERATIONS TO COME.
