Transcendental meditation

[williamreinsch]

I've recently given this meditation a try because i've heard it can help reduce anxiety.
I was wondering if anyone has tried this out and if it helped in anyway?

I want to, and sometimes I plan to meditate before bed or something, but then I just end up not doing it. I even have an app for it on my tablet.

I have been trying normal meditation for a few weeks now and have seen results. Maybe I should try TM too, with the mantras. I think that for you to really be able to see a substantial difference in your quality of life, you have to do it for a long time: one year, two years, three...

Do it.

It will take a while, but it helped me a lot.

Do not use meditation to help you unwind from something bad, but do it at a time when you are calm. It works better that way.

And youtube is full of short meditation videos. Use them, it will take a while to find something you are comfortable with.

And yes, it will take a long time to get really proficient, but do what you can now.
I started of with two minute sessions. It is a long time.

^Can you provide some of the best/most productive meditation videos you've found on youtube?

I find the videos at actualized.org quite helpful. He talks about many different types of meditation.
