Fffrmaz, when you say "be careful" do you mean strictly from a monetary point of view, or because of side effects? On that note, just out of curiosity do the TM-ers you know seem like grounded people, or do you find them a touch "spacey" or out of it?fffrmaz wrote:Be careful with TM. I know people who have said they find it beneficial. But TM is often expensive to get into (like thousands of dollars expensive) and you can find several mediation techniques online for free or for very little cost. I can't tell you that it is or isn't worth it. But it seems excessive to me.Sorntel wrote:I'd be interested in learning more about this myself...I've experimented here and there but nothing regular and don't really know where to start.
