It uses a \u2018mantra\u2019, a word-like sound, without any meaning. Because the mantra has no meaning, the intellect is not involved and therefore the mind is free to let go and to sink into quieter, finer, subtler levels of mental activity, an experience which is very satisfying and enjoyable. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s easy because the process is completely effortless and there\u2019s no concentration or control involved. All you need is to be able to think a thought. Which is why we say: if you can think you can meditate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator alignfull has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9f56a635 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:calc( 0.5 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)));padding-right:var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal));padding-bottom:calc( 0.5 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)));padding-left:var(--wp--style--root--padding-left, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal))\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Natural Tendency of the Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6024\" height=\"4024\" data-attachment-id=\"4949\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/en\/home\/max-vs-pjch5goo-unsplash-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?fit=6024%2C4024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"6024,4024\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?fit=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=6024%2C4024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color has-theme-1-border-color wp-image-4949\" style=\"border-radius:100em;aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?w=6024&amp;ssl=1 6024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1026&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?resize=2048%2C1368&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tm-zentralschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/max-vs-PjCh5goo-unsplash.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the practice of TM the mind turns inwards as it\u2019s natural for it to move towards what offers more satisfaction. And quieter, more subtle levels of thought do indeed provide a unique, experience of feeling good. Think of it like this: is it hard to watch a good movie or pay attention during an interesting conversation? No! But it is hard to carry on reading a book that we don\u2019t find fascinating or engage in a conversation that we may find boring. It\u2019s the natural tendency of the mind to seek out what is most enticing and that\u2019s why it\u2019s easy to settle down mentally using the TM technique, because quieter levels of the mind are more satisfying and the mind is naturally drawn in this direction, when given the opportunity. This is exactly what the TM technique accomplishes and this process of progressive refinement and settling down of mental activity is what is called \u2018transcending\u2019. It leads to a state of mental stillness, while remaining wide awake, an utterly delightful, liberating experience of unboundedness, an experience of \u2018pure awareness\u2019. It\u2019s like coming home.

closely intertwined, when the mind quietens down, so does the body, sinking into a state of deep rest and relaxation. This has been demonstrated with numerous scientific studies. They show, for example, a significant drop in oxygen consumption during TM. When the body achieves such a profound degree of rest, by nature it does exactly what every living organism does, once given the chance: it cleans up, rids itself of harmful material and straightens out what has become distorted over time. By virtue of such automatic repair work, our organism regenerates itself to new vitality. In this lies the secret of what is called \u2018resilience\u2019. When the body, during the practice of TM, reaches this state of rest again and again, experiences of stress that are stored in the organism, gradually dissolve. This repeatedly occurring \u2018stress release\u2019 accounts for much of the benefits resulting from meditating regularly. In other words, the TM technique, when practiced regularly, uses and enhances the natural faculty of resilience that our organism is born with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a9ae993f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-custom-pale-background-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1454fb31 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Universal and individual<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.132), 15px);line-height:1.65\">TM is unique because it\u2019s universal and at the same time highly individual. How can this be? Well, it\u2019s taught in a standardised manner which ensures that the teaching remains genuine and authentic no matter where in the world you learn it. And it\u2019s individual because you get from it what you need. Some people learn TM in order to lower their blood pressure, others to improve their sleep, others still for their own spiritual development. They learn the same technique for very different reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-custom-pale-background-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1454fb31 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Take time to make time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.132), 15px);line-height:1.65\">Perhaps you\u2019re wondering how you\u2019ll find the time for it but by taking this time for yourself, you emerge from meditation with greater clarity and creativity, more focus and happiness. You work more efficiently, needing less time to make decisions and carry out tasks because you\u2019re more connected to your <em>Self<\/em> and so your actions spontaneously lead you along the right course of action. In short, by taking this time to meditate, you\u2019re actually gaining more time!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-custom-pale-background-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1454fb31 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">12 million TM-ers worldwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.132), 15px);line-height:1.65\">TM is a tried and tested technique used by millions of people all over the world, from celebrities like actor Hugh Jackman to singer Katy Perry to hedge fund manager and one of the richest men in the world Ray Dalio. But it\u2019s not just for celebrities, it\u2019s for everyone who is looking for more in life, more prosperity and contentment, better health and relationships.
