I have a very simple justification for TM. It works. The practice mechanically allows my sense of myself to expand. Many times this has brought me into conflict with a facet of my self, or my life, that I did not want to face. The way through such circumstances, I found, is not to meditate

The practice itself, is easy and refreshing. However, like all things in life, there is another side to it. There is a lot of hard work, self reflection, and unbiased glimpses of one's truth, that occur along with TM 20 min. 2x/day, over the years. True, that!
