TM etc

Transcendental Meditation (TM) has been talked about and taught in this country since the 1960s. It’s not affiliated with any religion, although it does come from the ancient traditions of India. I first learned about it in a psychology class – as a method to reduce stress. We saw graphs showing changes in brain wave activity – proving its usefulness. Nowadays you can see this online. But I actually learned the TM technique in Richmond when they started teaching it right down the street from where I lived. The price was much much lower at that time.

Nowadays there 600 published studies about these techniques. Bear in mind that these began before cell phones began being almost glued to people’s heads. TM meditators are not among the clueless who continue to charge cell phones near their heads while asleep.

The online miu.edu is a great site to get an introduction to these ancient topics – meditation, consciousness, Ayurveda (medicine of India) being used in USA, and more. Some classes are free.
