Transcendental Meditation: Mechanics of the technique (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)

http://www.mum.edu The Transcendental Meditation technique uses the natural tendency of the mind to go toward greater happiness, so the mind effortlessly transcends to its most silent state. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, speaking at Lake Louise, Canada (1968),

Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students' inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.

Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one course at a time. Students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.

The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM's most popular undergraduate major.

I dont understand why people would need to pay for this? Why would it matter what mantra they give you, couldnt you just make up a word or sound if its only purpose is to distract you from your thoughts? Surely this is so simple a monkey could do it? Can anyone explain?

[MaharishiUniversity]

@MrHarrydash The mantra needs to have two important properties: First, it has to allow your mind to settle down to silence, to the source of thought. Second, it has to be suited to your individual physiology and psychology. TM teachers are trained to choose the correct mantra for each person, and the mantras are from an age-old tradition. Also, you need to learn how to use the mantra properly. Yes, it's very simple to practice TM, but it takes proper training to be able to teach it to everyone.

where are the teachers?

[MaharishiUniversity]

@djindox3 Go to tm (dot) org and click on "Learn" and you'll be able to find a teacher in your area.

[ilovetodrinkblood]

does the teacher or student decide what your mantra is going to be?

[MaharishiUniversity]

@ilovetodrinkblood The teacher has been trained to select the correct sound (mantra) as part of the personal instruction.

@MaharishiUniversity yes i see that .. and i think people rarely take things seriously unless they pay .. so it isnt too bad to pay a little for expertise and involvement.

mind and happiness are correlated..true! when my mind is in trouble it is so hard to have some fun..

@MrSF0011 Learn the TM technique. If you already did then my advice is to get a checking of your meditation. The thoughts are natural. In TM you don't TRY to quiet down your thoughts. You don't TRY anything. You don't TRY to meditate either. Thoughts happen, it's a natural part of the process. When you TRY you're not meditating.

[rvalderas1]

Sometimes the hardest thing for people to do is actually the easiest. And that is letting go. Maharishi in his book "Science of Being And Art of Living" says,' The technique requires no effort except innocence & simplicity. You must be devoid of intellectual play or emotional twist. You must surrender yourself to almighty nature. Then your mind goes in the direction of absolute bliss and finds increasing charm at every step of its march" You will evolve into a better and happier person.
