How can meditation give so many benefits?

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi explains how Transcendental Meditation can give so many benefits to the practitioner.

http://www.tm.org

Hagelin: "How does TM work? What happens during the practice? How can a student sit with his or her eyes closed for 10 or 15 minutes and receive so many benefits?"

Maharishi: "That is what is called teaching Transcendental Meditation. Step by step the mind is lead on to the Transcendental Field - that's all finished..."

meditation is the secret for success and benefits are beyond words

[NataLucky]

Perfect explanation of naturalness of the transcendental meditation.

And excellent example with talks about light while being in the utter darkness!

'' ...meditation is the secret for success...''

Is that why the Tibetan Buddhists are currently occupied by China?

What kind of ''success'' did meditation give them?

And whenever someone mentions benefits ''beyond words'' straight away, the word charlatan springs to mind.

If you don't have words adequate to describe the benefits, then use apporximations. After all there is even a word to describe something beyond words. Ineffable

I meditate myself. It isn't beyond words.

...so WHY is it so DIFFICULT to learn how to do this? Why do you have to spend £'s of pounds to learn? Why don't these people JUST TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT?

Makes me think that this TM stuff is all about making money, if it wasn' then they would want to spread this wonderful thing to all of humanity - even those who are skint (penniless?)

You don't go looking to find Transcendental Meditation, you must first be at peace with yourself, and Transcendental Meditation will come to you. Just accept who you are.

basically what he's saying is life is about connection and happiness. It's not about butthole pleasures at all.

Bliss trickles down to the transcendent - automatically! That is my experience with TM. I wouldn't start the day without it.

[smittentosea]

It was smart to have done so many scientific studies on TM. You only have to read one research study to realize just how profound the benefits are. But I think hearing peoples' experiences is way more interesting and inspiring.

Maharishi is right - I think.
