INSPIRATION #9 TM


Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream... 

The word is meditation!! Turning your attention within and getting comfortable with yourself from the inside and out. There is unbounded potential and power deep within each of us. And we can access that power into our lives through meditation. I will almost go as far as saying it is our duty as members of the human race to explore this potential.

Why live a stressed out, fearful life when you can live a wise, peaceful and joyful life?

We have all heard them, these funny little lines that points to the direction of inner knowledge. You know them: Know thy self - The kingdom of heaven lies within, Peace starts with you etc. But it isn't until you give yourself the experience of the inner realm that it begins to mean something deeper to you.





TM is the most scientifically proven form of meditation practice we know of. It stems from India and its founder was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1914–2008). TM achieved global reach in the 1960s and continues to expand powerfully spearheaded by film-maker David Lynch, quantum physicist John Hagelin and Clint Eastwood to name a few.

Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, natural, effortless process
practiced 15–20 minutes twice daily while sitting comfortably with eyes closed. 
It is unique among techniques of meditation, distinguished by its effortlessness, 
naturalness and profound effectiveness. 

I am so grateful for my masters teaching me to look within. Writers, poets and not least spiritual teachers. TM (Transcendental Meditation) is such a simple practice and is now taught all over the world, thanks to the TM organization and people like David Lynch working hard to spread it as far as possible, making an immense change in the schools and in children's lives, even in prisons, homeless people's centers and now also training military veterans suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).





The benefits are widely documented and scientifically proven. I will just highlight a few of the best ones. Transcendental Meditation:

• Gives the body peace to regenerate and attain maximum rest

• Regenerates the brain functioning (basically improves your focus, attention, memory, thinking etc)

• Boosts your confidence, empathy and relationships (basically makes you more happy)

• Activates the unified field (the sea of pure consciousness) which brings unbounded creative potential into your life.

The only objection I have to TM is why it has to be so expensive.
TM should be government financed and be part of the school curriculum.
It should be made available to anyone wishing to meditate.
