@13314u Thats great to hear, tbh.. I’m having mixed results with TM “style” meditation, but I live in a very stressful and noisy house which is very distracting.. So I’m blaming my situation rather than the techniques right now.
Glad to know that some people tutor for free, as I certainly would and will when I get the technique nailed down. I’ve learned most other meditation techniques from books etc and it can be tricky getting that sweet spot .
@LeJimster yeah I agree it would be cool to have TM free but I just can’t see that it would be possible…
-
I have many friends who teach TM purely out of compassion – they don’t make money, in fact they barely survive.

To properly learn such delicate process as transcending you need a trained teacher to make sure you don’t make mistakes in straining or concentrating etc. Otherwise it is easy to get a headache etc.

David Lynch Foundation has already taught 100,000 at risk kids TM for free!
I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t spend money learning TM. With time and patience you can learn these things for free. Anyone asking for money to teach something like this is taking advantage imo.
I’m not sure exactly what Lynch’s idea was, but I had presumed the money he wanted to raise was to fund TM institutes, not to make money but to raise awareness and spread TM around the world.
I wrote here about 3 months ago when I first started TM. I have not missed a single session and I am starting to see results. I am off my anti-depressants and feel less anxious. The most dramatic result I’ve had was when I realised that this chronic back pain I had in between my shoulder which I’ve had for years and years simply disappeared. I suppose the pain was through tension and with TM my back feels more relaxed. I am already creative and paint but have not seen any dramatic results yet.
It’s a reporters job to find bullshit counter questions to disrupt the flow of conversation. It’s the way of American media. Just watch fox news for a little bit.
This is my first time seeing this video and it has made Mr. Lynch that much cooler. TM is one of the best things ever, and studies now show a correlation between meditation and increase of gray matter in the hippocampus, and prefrontal lobe.
@BrideAndGroomFilmsHD Because otherwise no one could teach you properly. TM takes quite a bit of follow up by the teacher and this is ensure you are practicing correctly. Otherwise you may strain and get a headache.
The teachers are basically on minimum wage if they put in the hours for each person.
But it’s worth it – I personally wouldn’t give up my TM even if I was paid a billion bucks!
@HerrMannelig – She’s no different than 99.99% of the world’s population who are unfamiliar with the experience David is describing. Why would you criticize her? You don’t have to answer that, I already know the answer.
It’s a great idea to provide a space for people to unplug from the world and go inside for a while. I went on a 10-day silence retreat called Vipassana for FREE. They are loacated all over the world and do not impose any sort of dogma. Just pure, clean meditation. I was well taken of, good organic food, new room of my own. No cellphones, no talking, I LOVED IT!
@HerrMannelig Meditate on that and then release it.

@opentolife me either, but now I can see a lot of Lynch in Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks right?

Him “So when are you going to start meditating?” Her( thinking) uh, “When you fork over 1500.00 buckaroos bucko”
@joolsner Of course you didn’t feel the escalator thing, you are not trying to raise money for a global TM empire: (:
Doug Henning the magician was way into it, and he still died of cancer…….
great….I’ve start TM in 1983…What Mr.Lynch says is true…
Good luck David……..
His hand was fascinating.
Everyone’s jealous because he’s the happiest man alive. That’s how it should be for everyone! Why can’t we be all happy?
Interesting… I did not know until recently that he was involved in this kind of stuff.

I wish his movies didn’t get so crummy
@13314u That makes sense, thanks. I still think 900 smackos is a bit steep.

David Lynch is a fricken genius! He is doing such good for the world.

@ArtsAlign
That sounds relaxing.

Why do I have to pay 900 smackos to learn TM? It’s a pity!
CBC crap infomercial journalism.
