There is no significant difference between "TM" and "Mindfulness." Both are 
based on thinking.

Meditation can be defined simply as "thinking things over." There probably not 
an intelligent person on the entire planet that doesn't pause once or twice a 
day to take stock of their own mental contents. 

And, everyone is transcending all the time anyway.

with a commanding presence as a teacher can learn Mindfulness online and hand 
out a shingle as a teacher.  With TM otoh, the TM org has an ongoing grip on 
certification.
 The ease of getting into Mindfulness compared to TM seems to be the major 
ingredient supporting the recent popularity of the former in both Academia and 
Wall Street.

a joke).  You guess.

bestowed on him by a teacher of Transcendental Meditation two years ago.
 
 “I react to volatile markets much more calmly now,” Ford, 48, says. “I have 
more patience.”
 

His meditative experience was my reaction to the recent market volatility too 
as I watched it.  But his was also like an early experience I had as I started 
TM when I played ice hockey, where some guys sort of like that guy running for 
President would want to dramatically scrap and try to provoke fights, I'd just 
skate away in a space of equanimity and they would draw the time-out.  Making 
observation, hypothesis and testing it time and again it was remarkably 
replicable science.
