Does anyone here practice TM? Is anyone a former practitioner?
Since age 18, I have practiced Transcendental Meditation.
Practiced off and on in the early 1970's.
@MissKathleen Growing up in the late 60's and 70's, TM was a new (at least to the mainstream) and kind of a fad. It has been helpful at times in my life when I was overstressed and unable to sleep. It helped me relax and reduce stress so I could get to sleep.
I eventually replaced it with martial arts breathing techniques. I practiced karate for many years and found the Warrior Breathing more relatable at the time.
When I wss doing TM, I never achieved Astral Travel which was claimed to be one component of TM.
