Jerry Seinfeld is also into Transcendental Meditation from before he was famous. He meditates twice a day and totally subscribes to the practice.
As a result, I called my local TM center and am making plans to take it up to see if it solves some of the problems of aging.
I’d love to hear your experiences.
Really, there was nothing mystical or religious about it. I considered it more mental exercise/relaxation.
I was given a mantra to repeat and used it to meditate twice a day. It was a peaceful way to relax. Sometimes I would just fall asleep. But 9 times out of 10 I would feel better. Seemed to help my mood and outlook on life. Drugs and caffeine are disruptive to the process, so I would try to limit those. I never attended any of the weekend or week long retreats, although they probably would’ve been beneficial. I think the cost was something like a hundred dollars, but that was the mid-70s.
If the cost isn’t unreasonable now...go for it.
Death solves ALL of them.
