Transcendental meditation is a simple and effortless technique that allows the body to enter into a state of rest and relaxation and allows one to take the mind to a more pure state of consciousness without mind control or presence of thoughts.
This technique should be taught by a certified instructor in transcendental meditation, who grants a mantra to the practicing person because each person has individual needs and meditation goals, so each mantra is different from person to person and must be kept secret.
Once learned, to perform this technique, one only needs to have 20 minutes, twice a day.
How to make
To practice transcendental meditation, it is necessary to seek a certified instructor, who will select a mantra that is personal, according to the personality of each practitioner, easy to remember, and effective in maintaining the practitioner's full focus. The mantras of transcendental meditation are sounds, whose tone and intesity of sound produce vibrations that spread throughout the body, giving it balance and energy that provides a state of meditation.
After completing the course, in order to do this technique correctly, obstacles such as frustration, which bring emotions such as anger and irritation, must be eliminated, creating a negative energy that must be put aside, in order to be able to receive an energy positive spirituality, and impatience, since this type of meditation requires a lot of patience because it requires practice to be more effective.
In addition, it is also important to choose a quiet place to practice meditation, at home or outdoors, where there are no distractions and turn off the cell phone, television or radio and if possible close the door, avoid leaving any pending task that can be a distraction. Then follow these steps:
