Transcendental Meditation came highly recommended to me recently as I was going through a very tough time. I was able to attend a group zoom meeting to learn more about this type of meditation and decided to sign up for classes. The setup is this - the classes run for around 2 hours for 4 consecutive days. The first class is a one-on-one session with the meditation teacher, and the 3 subsequent classes are in a group.
I showed up a few Saturdays ago for my one-on-one. The location of this particular TM center is right in Harbor East. I've driven by many times and never knew it was there. I had to be buzzed in. The lobby of this place was gorgeous and calming with lots of plants and comfortable places to sit. No one was around so I sat down and waited. Shortly thereafter, the TM teacher, Michael Mason came out into the lobby, followed by another student who was just finishing his one-on-one.
Michael Mason is a very soothing person. His very presence put me at ease. From there, he gave me instruction on TM. I cannot go into detail about it, other than to say I feel I took to it quickly and effectively.
The classes over the next 3 days were informative and answered a lot of questions I had about this type of mediation.
What I'll say is this...my stress and anxiety levels have totally dropped. I am not saying that I no longer have issues, but TM has helped me to deal with them and release the bad feelings associated with them. I've not missed a meditation in 11 days now, and I intend to do them regularly going forward.
I highly recommend this TM course (which is income based) for people going through a tough time, those with stress and anxiety, and also for people whose life is going just fine. TM is a benefit to all. read more
