I have a friend who does Transcendental Meditation and has suggested I learn the technique. Says it works really well with anxiety etc.
I was wondering if anyone knew the relationship between TM and Deep Meditation, similarities, differences, etc. They don't reveal much about the technique, other than that it's supposed to be great. Anyone familiar with it? I know of different mantras but not of the technique. Is it worth learning or should I stay with DM?
Thanks |

I would stick with DM, it's an active meditation and clears the nervous system, but the Guru is in you, so go with what feels right. |

| TM and DM are nearly the same. The core idea of picking up the mantra and coming back to it when you are off... that is the same in each. Maybe somebody will chime in with the difference between the two, but they are more similar than different. |

Hopefully, this will help you to move on from your stuckness.

I learned TM as a youth, later learned NSR and then DM. It's the same technique. Only the mantras used differ. And the monetary price.

Thanks JDH.
Thanks Tom.
I've thought a lot about it and I'm just gonna keep diggin' that hole where I'm at with DM. Those pesky thoughts just keep pulling me away from my original purpose

Ugh! My thoughts settle for a while, my meditation deepens, then out of nowhere everything goes off again.
Just to be sure...
When meditating, do I think the mantra once, letting it go to stillness, and come back to it when I'm aware that I've forgotten it, or do I repeat it over and over again?
thanks |

Repeat it:
http://www.aypsite.org/13.html
gently introduce the thought …I AM… and begin to repeat it easily and effortlessly in your mind. If your mind wanders off into other thoughts, you will eventually realize this has happened. Don't be concerned about it. It is natural. When you realize you are not repeating the mantra, gently go back to it. This is all you have to do. Easily repeat the mantra silently inside. When you realize you are not thinking it, then easily come back to it. The goal is not to stay on it. The goal is to follow the simple procedure of thinking the mantra, losing it, and coming back to it when you find you have lost it. Do not resist if the mantra tends to become less distinct. Thinking the mantra does not have to be with clear pronunciation. I AM can be experienced at many levels in your mind and nervous system. When you come back to it, come back to a level that is comfortable, not straining for either a clear or fuzzy pronunciation. |
