http://www.tm.org Dr John Hagelin describes the Transcendental Meditation technique in scientific terms.

Hello, I'm John Hagelin, quantum physicist and teach of the Transcendental Meditation program. Welcome to this introductory lecture on Transcendental Meditation.

What is Transcendental Meditation? Is it a way to relax? Is it a technique to promote health, vitality, and longevity? Is it a means to develop creativity, IQ, and peak mental performance? Or is it a past to inner peace? Enlightenment? As we will see it is all these things and more.

To understand Transcendental Meditation and consciousness we need to understand a little bit about the physical universe. Modern science, over the past 50 years, has probed deeper levels of physical reality. Modern science has explored more fundamental levels of natures functioning. From the superficial level of macroscopic physics, the sensory objects around us, to the world of the molecule, atom, nucleus and sub-nuclear levels of natures functioning as shown in this chart.

This chart reveals the hierarchical structure of the laws of nature. From superficial diversity to fundamental unity shown at the foundation of this chart. As modern physics probes deeper levels of natures functioning it is revealed that more fundamental levels of nature are progressively more unified. the 4 forces of nature deep within the atomic nucleus become 3, and 2, and ultimately 1 unified field of all the laws of nature.

  • 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.

  • @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"

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

  • @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.

  • amazing ,meditation has changed my life

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • Wonderful! True science.

    Transcendental meditation is natural.

  • 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

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

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

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