Transcendental meditation and meditation techniques
What does transcendental meditation mean to you and have you ever tried any meditation techniques. I’m sure you’ve tried both transcendental meditation and at least one of many meditation techniques. You just think you’ve never tried meditation because you don’t know what it really is.
I’m also sure that when someone says transcendental meditation to you, you think of someone sitting cross legged on the floor chanting Om over and over again. That’s the thought that most people have of meditation but that’s just one of many meditation techniques.
If you’re old enough to remember when the Beetles started singing you probably remember the fact they got into transcendental meditation as an alternative to drugs. Transcendental meditation was started by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who taught the Beetles meditation
techniques he had learned. I still remember all of the news reports about it.
Transcendental meditation really caught on when people figured out meditation techniques could quickly and easily do away with many of the stress symptoms people had. Meditation is one of the quickest and easiest techniques for destressing that’s ever been found. Also one of the cheapest as it doesn’t require you to spend any money to learn to do it.
