Thanks for that response. PSM sounds intriguing. There are so many techniques to choose from these days. Once upon a time TM was the only game in town - if your home town was in the north of England at any rate.

As she chanted the energy built and built, becoming stronger and stronger and it seemed to be swirling around in circle from top to bottom like a ferris wheel - I was kind of surprised and wondered what was gonna happen but sat there and as soon as she finished the chant, she leaned in and whispered the mantra - instantly I felt all that energy whoosh down into my crown and go all the way to my feet. > > Per instruction I closed my eyes and began to repeat the mantra, and all I can say is that what I experienced was the feeling of energy that felt like it was the very essence of who I am. I had never felt anything like that in my life. For about two or three months every time I meditated with the Primordial Sound mantra it felt the same way, same energy, same essence of me. > > After that two or three month period that stopped and meditation was just meditation. The difference between the two, TM and PSM for me is this: TM always felt like I was sinking into the Absolute, and PSM feels like I am waking up or enlivening the Absolute within me. > > So that's my take on it. > > >
