    I have been practicing TM for 40 years. Sucessful meditation for me, is coming out of it, without having any awareness of where the last twenty minutes went. Imagine how refreshing it must be for 20 minutes to have no internal dialogue, no problems, no stress. If you have difficulty going to sleep at night because you are all wound up about something, I use the same method to clear out my mind and drift off to sleep. Some people here complain about the fees, but I would not try to do it on the cheap. I have tried to teach my friends with out great effect and in the future I recommend that they go to a pro and pay the fee.

    John Hagelin is one of my heroes. I voted for him three times when he ran for President under the Natural Law Party. What I love about Hagelin is that he has the scientific background which enables him to clearly explain on an intellectual level what TM is and how it works. But the best testimony comes from kids in inner city schools; or veterans suffering from PSTD; or young autistic kids, or prisoners who've benefited from learning the technique. It works.

    +Jay Lawrence TM 'is' taught in many schools and colleges around the world. But it takes a full year to train teachers of TM. So I certainly never expected to learn TM for free when I learned -any more than I'd expect to take driving lessons from a qualified instructor for free over a 4 day period. It costs money to provide qualified TM teachers for the four day course for each person learning TM, so unless the government wants to stump up and pay (and some actually have) then its only fair that each person or parent pays a fee to cover costs and help promote TM further

    To learn TM cost me only $100? $125 back in 1976 when I graduated university. TM should be free and 'mandatory' in school and in prison and in society as a whole (They force GMOs, vaccines, and sodium fluoride on us, why not something beneficial like TM). It works. Even though I don't meditate twice a day everyday as I should, my body let's me know when I've gone to long without it, and I simply fall back into the habit.

    I am quite familiar with the notion that "transformative wisdom should be free," just as I am familiar with the need to pay one's bills or to grow a movement so that it is not overshadowed by better-marketed, profit-driven, and less transformative groups. My confidence is in John Hagelin as a consistent man of evidence and social vision, and I have seen much good come from this meditation for bolstering homeostasis and self-actualization - to put it in precise terms : )

    The great thing about learning TM from a teacher, a tradition has perfected the actual technique, of-what-to-do, specific. Also, there are 'perks' to integrate quickly, profoundly with advanced techniques and retreats (knowledge)(experiences). Besides, nobody needs to be alone. I seek fellowship in other meditators because, they are so cool.

    Transcendental Meditation is shown in over 150 scientific studies to effectively reduce anxiety, improve focus and learning, and reduce physical and mental diseases. TM is easy and pleasant to do, but must be done properly (taught to you by a certified TM teacher) for these benefits. To put the cost in perspective, it costs less than therapy, and therapy cannot do the things TM is shown in scientific studies to do for physical and mental health.

    I did learn TM back in 1989 as both of my instructors were married and both had a long career in the air force (commissioned officers) and I was at the time a army reservist...don't recall how I was in a way guided? but I also remembered my martial arts discipline for the 9 years and meditation was an important part to ready ourselves of mind and body that was very effective to execute increase and enhance our physical mechanics and focus...anyways to continue; learned the TM technique but never went beyond that phase of being more involved w/ the organization nor attend their meetings...but I do remember my training and how simple it is and can do TM just about anywhere even if there is distractions and can meditate as little as 10 to 15 mins...or even a 5 min one... I had put off for too long as life had took over of the day to day grind and added distractions to taking on more responsibility than necessary that added amounting stress factors and not really taking the time out to take care of 'me'... Also not to forget that the 'heart center' is where the real action is...

    I have tried every possible way to find a TM class in Columbus, OH but I can not afford even a fraction of the fees. It is amazing that classes are not offered by insurance companies or by the universities or hospitals or church groups and whatever. If what Hagelin says is true then why is it so difficult to find? If TM is as miraculous as so many testify about it seems to me it would be available all over the place. Why not have state and federal and corporate courses available at least at reasonable fees for people like me on fixed income? It don't make no sense.

    Roy Long The phrase “mantra meditation” is a somewhat generic term that refers to a broad category of possibly thousands of different meditation practices. The TM technique does fall into the "mantra meditation" category, but there is more to it than choosing a word or phrase and repeating it. Saying "you can teach yourself mantra meditation, which is similar to TM" is sort of like saying "Food is good for you" - certain foods definitely are, but others aren't, and some kinds are better than others!

    Simply eating correctly - i.e. adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet - can provide all the benefits that Hagelin claims are exclusive to TM alone, and in most cases, notably diseases like cancer and diabetes, can surpass its effectiveness. Not to say that TM isn't worth while - but the sales pitch seems a bit disingenuous at times, comparing TM only to pharmaceuticals which everyone knows are 1) mostly ineffective and 2) extremely hazardous. He also doesn't describe superstring theory correctly, which is a bit worrying. It's not even a scientific theory, because it cannot be tested/invalidated. It's just an idea with currently no basis in reality, no more compelling than believing that unicorns govern the flow of time.

    This is no different than any other meditation technique. Not worth all the money they charge for it. All you do is concentrate on a sound or phrase for 10 minutes or more. After a while you can just enter that mode of thinking and you dont even have to repeat a word or phrase in your head. There is nothing unique about the words they give you either. You can find them online if you want.. You achieve the same effect by concentrating on your breathing or the sounds around you.. You just screen out competing stimuli and you can relax and lower your blood pressure, breathing rate , gsr etc. The science behind this is more interesting than the technique.
