Welcome to Day 20 of our Meditation Challenge. While many people have made requests, sent emails of gratitude, shared success and joy stories, there is still a whole world of meditation options out there. One of the pioneers of Meditation is Marhirishi Mahesh Yogi, who brought Transcendental Meditation to the for front of Westerners seeking for bliss through Meditation. This method is a method of relaxation, stress reduction, and self development. Maharishi learned this technique from his guru Brahmananda Saraswati. The practice itself is Mantra meditation, sitting in silence for 15 minutes, focused on your given mantra. Some say that the price of this meditation practice is rather expensive, however for those who can afford this option, it is a path to bliss.
Many Celebrities are known to practice this meditation including: Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Clint Eastwood, Howard Stern, Hugh Jackman, Sheryl Crow, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eddie Vedder, Jane Fonda, Jerry Sienfield, Russell Simmons, Deepak Chopra, Goldie Hawn, David Lynch, and many more.
This post is for those people who want the option to invest in the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
Ellen DeGeneres admitted to a large crowd,
'I've tried to meditate before, did the breathing and yoga, but I was always opening my eyes and it was a minute later. I thought, how am I going to do this? This is just impossible.'
'It gives me this peaceful, peaceful feeling and I just love it so much, and I talk about it as much as I can on the show without sounding like I'm preaching about it. . . . I can't say enough good things about it.'
For those who like the concept of finding bliss through mantra, another option is to find your guru, and have that guru provide a mantra which may be more cost effective. As TM does have a price tag that some may find too steep for their pocket.
While mantra meditation is powerful, we can also find a sanksrit mantra, and meditate on the mantra for 15 minutes in a day, sitting tall and in bliss. The transformational power of sound is incredible, and often times if we recite the mantra without the awareness of its tangible meaning, we inevitably create a sense of bliss. The power of meditation is when we are free of form in thought, in word. Can we sit in meditation without wondering if we are doing it right? without thinking about the fact that we are meditating? without thinking about our surroundings, our thoughts and just be. This conscious connection to everything that is, and simultaneous disconnection to everything that is, is when we transcend.
