Clint Eastwood on the benefits the Transcendental Meditation technique has had on his life

[28Karlaca]

The fee to learn TM goes to various charities to help world peace, veterans, schools...only a small percentage goes to the TM teacher.

That was cool. I always wondered if Clint Eastwood meditated. When I saw him on, "Mr ED" I kinda figured he was into it. Mr, ED has an expanded cociousness or he couldn't talk. It's amazing what you can learn from a talking horse.

[OgoTomO]

imho the average person is motivated to adopt a new habit, especially if they spend money to learn it. One can learn to meditate without spending any money...but would they stay with it? Don't tell yourself stories about it should be free. You would spend more on mindless entertainment. Just do it.

Sounds like a load to me.

It is inexplicable that such a high fee is charged for something that the TM movement states is so beneficial to human beings and as a result to society as a whole. Why do you need a teacher for something so simple in the first place? The explanation given is very convenient, that TM can be only passed on by a teacher to the student, and that the teacher needs to make a living. Surely can't these so called teachers be part-time volunteers who are professionals in other fields?

Clint is Great.

Yes, you dont have to spend money and go to a TM class. If you were just to sit still in a quiet room and focus on your breathing for 20 minutes twice a day you would get exactly the same benefits. Meditation is better than anti depressants and it has way more benefits.

[GameOfYears]

@yharyhar8 What do you think about? Nothing? Do you try to keep a clear mind or think about everyday life?

[TheOverfiendDj]

TM isnt much different to most kinds of meditation they just use a different mantra all meditation is good if you do it correctly

[dannners]

@TheOverfiendDj I was so disappointed when i went to learn TM and the price was so expensive :( Do you know any links for proper meditation techniques?

[TheOverfiendDj]

@dannners I learned a meditation technique from a yogi and its very good.You just sit down with your legs crossed and back straight ,just sit comfortable rest your hands or arms on your knee's which ever is best for you.Then you close your eyes,you in hale and exhale through your nose.As you inhale you think of the word "Hong" and as you exhale think of the word "so" just keep repeating "hong so" in your mind.As you do this you concentrate at the point between the eye brows.

[TheOverfiendDj]

@dannners You will notice allot of thoughts coming into your mind but you just allow them to come and go if they are positive or negative it doesnt matter just keep repeating the mantra in your mind and focus on the breathing.You can do this for as long as you want but once you get to about 20 minutes the stress starts to evaporate completely and you will feel really good.The longer the better some people do it for hours but it takes allot of practice.Good luck

[TheDaveyMoore]

[Aepotheosis]

now if the instruction was not expensive ($1500) for regular folk.. well maybe someday that will change. I have a bad pinched nerve in my neck - pain has really taken a bad hold on me. But hey, maybe I will find a way. I have believed in TM since the late 60's but just now learned of a precise manner of learning it. Its a few hours over a few weeks, maybe 3 short sessions.. It seems we all have good reason to learn it.. I LOVE that the focus is on soldiers. My brother was lost after Vietnam.

@TREYOLDHIPPIE Would you happen to know where I can learn this precise method you speak of? I also would like to learn and cannot afford the $1,500 fee. Thanks.

Clint is the man!
