That topic regularly came up on /r/meditation. The consensus was usually that it’s not worth it. You will learn a meditation style, yes, but it’s not better or worse than others, and you will also buy into a cult. So at best it’s an overpriced experience.
If you want to learn meditation, there are sooo many resources online and in books. Why not use one of those?
And even if you want to it retreat style, there’s free courses by dhamma.org all over the world.
I was just curious, because TM is approved by artists like Scorcese, Lynch and Eastwood. There are also studies that claim its benefits are higher than those of other meditation types. I really just want to get a grasp on what this is about as I am atm greatly expanding my meditation practices and am trying out other meditation techniques.
the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.
Fair point! Didn't notice my bias there. Guess there is a scheme to fall for for everyone.
