EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TM --
INCLUDING HOW TO DO IT
BY JOHN WHITE
A Comprehensive Guide to Transcendental Meditation |
|
|
|
|
|
Wildly popular in the 1970s and 80s, Transcendental Meditation
(TM) continues to be one of the most accessible forms of
Eastern spiritual practice in the West. But does it live up to
its hype? In this objective exploration of TM, consciousness
researcher John White looks at what’s billed as “a simple,
natural, and effortless mental technique, practiced twenty
minutes a day” and takes on its critics as well as its
cheerleaders. White explains what it’s like to take a trip
through the “mountains of mind,” the purpose of mantras,
whether the Maharishi is enlightened, and what science says
about consciousness-raising. He also provides a glossary of TM
terms and a “how-to” lesson so readers can try it themselves. |
