Testimonials re: the benefits (although I think > testimonials are suspect, as negative ones would never be > published) are exactly what I am looking for. Mentions > "checking." What is checking, exactly? In TM, it's a standard procedure in which a TM teacher (or certified checker) guides the meditator through a brief TM session (somewhat similar to the procedure by which TM was learned initially) and asks a short series of questions about the meditator's experience of the session to ensure s/he is practicing correctly. The teacher uses a memorized algorithm that includes many branches from the main route designed to remedy specific problems that may be revealed by the meditator's answers to the teacher's questions. In essence, checking is a very abbreviated course in TM. It takes about 30 minutes unless it reveals problems, in which case it can take quite a bit longer. It's free in the U.S. and available for the lifetime of the meditator, as often as desired. Checking is not designed to answer more than the most rudimentary questions a meditator may have. It's expected that the correct experience of TM provided by the procedure will itself answer most questions. Questions requiring more elaborate responses may be asked at advanced lectures (free at the TM Center, usually given weekly), which start with a group meditation followed by a Q&A session before the actual lecture. It's recommended that even long-time, experienced meditators who are not having any problems with their meditation get checked occasionally (once a year or so). For new meditators, it's recommended once a month for the first year, I believe. > > From: cardemaister <[email protected]> > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Sunday, June 3, 2012 5:08 AM > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: S U P E R BLOG/ CLIP ON TM > > > > > > Â > > > > > > --- In [email protected], merlin <vedamerlin@> wrote: > > > > > > ON THIS BLOG, > > > THERE IS A REALLYÂ USEFULL GREAT CLIP > > > > > > JUST FROM A MEDITATOR ON TRANSCENDENTAL > > > > > > MEDITATIONÂ Â ( TM ) > > > > > > ENJOY > > > >>> > > > > > > > > > http://blog.practicebuildingcenter.com/best-secret-weapon-for-chiropractors-not-what-you-think/ > > > > > > > David Spector June 1, 2012 at 7:04 am # > > I'm a meditation teacher and have practiced Transcendental Meditation for > > 41 years.
