I agree that remembering to sit down to meditate can be a challenge, but I have spontaneously "slipped into" TM many times over the years simply by closing my eyes while sitting. Fortunately, teh way our nervous system is set up, you don't continue in such a spontaneous meditation for long unless you are in a situation where there is no demand on your time in the first place.

For me this is quite a challenge in the first place, since I'm so busy these days posting and dialoging on FFL 24 x 7 about TM and the mechanics of consciousness, levitation and stuff. But, one time when I was waiting in the car for Rita, I thought of my mantra and so I closed my eyes for a minute of two and it was very restful. It probably was just like what happened to the Buddha sitting under a tree that night, except I was on the corner of rush-hour traffic on a sunny afternoon in downtown Dallas.
