I've learned a lot of variations on mantra concentration over the

with very "slack" techniques like TM is that you can lose clarity if
you get used to allowing the mantra to be just this fuzzy "impulse".
It's too easy to fall into the defects (of mantra practice). It seems
to me the dogmas that surround TM mantra recitation has actually
hindered the practice.
What a load of crap. The only thing that hinders TM practice is
effort. TM is not "mantra recitation." Recitation implies effort.
Checking establishes effortless practice. Seems to me your defective
dogma has hindered your understanding of TM.
Checking establishes easy practice, but no method can be considered
effortless. Chuch the method, then we can talk. ;-)
