I do mindfulness meditation on the regular. There's a fair amount of emerging evidence to supports the benefits. Personally, it helps me cope with ADHD, depression and occasional anxiety.
Today TM is a bit of a racket. I think the idea was that initially you could go down to your local studio, pay $50, and learn to meditate. That fee enabled the studios to stay open so the practice could spread. Now you can find guided meditations on youtube and the app store. No one needs local studios anymore, especially because they're so expensive to maintain that apparently it takes $900/person to sustain them.
- I nearly was a buddist monk in my youth and did a lot of meditation. I found meditating to null your inner voice ... not helpful. Very interested in TMmugwart
- but it does seem a scam. in London its like £250-300 it seems and thats alot. $50 is fair price.mugwart
- Rent costs a lot more these days.The difference between mindfulness and TM doesn't seem so vast to me mechanically.jtb26
- It's not really about nulling your inner voice. Just practicing your ability to separate your thoughts from your perception of reality.jtb26
- yes. seperating thoughts from perception of reality. a layering of thoughts. niiicedocpoz
