Common Misunderstandings About Meditation

Myth #1 — All meditations are basically the same.
Meditation is a broad term, encompassing various techniques with unique instructions, goals, and outcomes.

Myth #2: Meditation requires a specific posture and an empty mind.
There’s no need for rigid postures and empty minds to transcend. With the TM technique, thoughts are a part of the practice.

Myth #3: Meditation is hard.
A challenging practice is not necessary to gain the benefits of meditation. Finding a practice you enjoy is more likely to be sustained, fostering feelings of peace instead of guilt or failure. We love the TM technique because it’s effortless and enjoyable to practice.
