I needed it before work, and I craved it as soon as I could on arriving home in the evening.<br /><br />Once I realized what was going on (a mantra-buzz blissy kind of addiction) I dropped it and never went back. It's just not a balanced technique. And now they say Maharishi wasn't even taught to teach, it's something he just made up. <br /><br />No wonder so many had so many issues.Truth Mirrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714493298567202673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693309373245687372.post-76830603778050360692011-09-16T00:50:09.085-07:002011-09-16T00:50:09.085-07:00TM had me feeling the same way.

I'd get headaches on the left side of my head, but I was also turning in to a madman, not remembering things I would say or do. Apocalyptic ego-dissolution. The worst kind. The damnedest kind. I luckily had a few thousand dollars saved up to rest my mind and NOT practice TM before my life started back up (which had been a struggle for me for about a year). Nowadays, sometimes by habit the mantra rolls in my head when I am exhausted and collapsed on the couch from a long day. It soothes me but it also stimulates startling thoughts which I do not remember upon waking from my stupor, as often happens in dreams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693309373245687372.post-60901633472237070922010-10-29T12:03:16.919-07:002010-10-29T12:03:16.919-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068215054325041348noreply@blogger.com
