"The founder of transcendental meditation, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is famous for being the yoga instructor and meditation teacher for The Beatles. Namaste. I'm Cindy Mastry, and if you're interested in transcendental meditation, you should really attend a lecture and get a proper transcendental meditation instructor. Transcendental meditation is kind of like other meditations--other forms of meditations, in that you take a comfortable seated position, rooting your core, your pelvis down into the earth, and lengthening up through the spine. And focusing on a mantra. Now there are several mantras you could use. Anything from let go to hadi yom, om tat sat, hung sa. Anything that fits with you, that allows you to focus on that mantra, and clear your mind. Oftentimes a mantra is given to your guru. So focusing on only the mantra, and your breath, and working to clear the mind. So transcendental meditation is a specific form of meditation that requires that you learn from a specific transcendental meditation instructor. It works to clear the mind, to restore your body, and become one with the universe, and reduce your stress. Namaste."
