Transcendental meditation has piqued my curiosity. I know I mentioned about being hesitant in my previous post, but I figure I’ve got nothing to lose. I, therefore, have decided to look more into this matter.

It seems I do not need to change my lifestyle if I decide to enroll in transcendental meditation classes. That factor fits right in my criteria. Apparently, I just have to close my eyes and sit comfortably for 15 to 20 minutes and do it twice daily. Not bad, right? I also found out that this session will be regularly checked by a trained TM instructor to ensure that that what I’ll be doing is correct.

I have also found out that David Lynch Foundation offers Transcendental Meditation in their program. According to their website, this form of meditation really offers various benefits. This kind of meditation makes people handle stress better, lead a healthier life, and perform well in the office or in school. Moreover, transcendental meditation also improves your creativity. That for me is a clincher. You see, I like writing poems and making sketches when I’m tired. I guess I can kill two birds with one stone with TM—relax and improve my creativity at the same time.

So far, I’m getting more and more interested with this program. I’ll try to read more information about TM and find out if I really want to give it a shot one of these days.

I am an extremely anxious person. I seriously worry about the littlest of things. Take yesterday for example; I was waiting for a certain file from my colleague. Unfortunately, my colleague wasn’t able to send it to me by the time I was supposed to receive it. Knowing me, I freaked out. An hour hasn’t passed and yet I kept bugging my friend to send the file already. He told me he was going to email it and that I was over reacting.

Unfortunately for him, I didn’t care if he thought I was being impossible to deal with. I’ve lived all my life having things run on schedule. Although, I must admit there were certainly days that didn’t go my way… like yesterday. The thing is I can’t stop myself from having these anxiety attacks. I feel dreadful, to say the least. So what I do is to bury myself in tons of work. On the other hand, I try to while away the time by reading books, surfing the net, and walking the dogs. Last night, visiting cyberspace was on my agenda.

I wasted a couple of hours on the net. Well, I didn’t really waste my time. I looked up other ways I could try to ease my troubled and stressed mind. Finding an alternative was what I did. I came upon Transcendental Meditation.

Apparently, this technique is a great way to relieve stress and take care of one’s health. I’ve also read that it is even included in the curriculum of some schools. However, I have yet to find out if Transcendental Meditation costs a fortune.

I wonder if taking part in this kind of meditation is a breakthrough for me; regardless of it being an expensive treatment or not. To be honest, I’m having doubts. I have nothing against this technique. It’s just that I think I’ve tried everything. I have yet to find something that really works for me. Anyway, I’ll try to read more on Transcendental Meditation to find out if it’s worth the time and money to pursue it.

If anyone has already tried this method, could you please drop me a line? I’d really love to get your thoughts on this.
