Hello all, can anyone tell me what the difference is between meditation and transcendental meditation? Is there a difference?

I have been doing Dr Wayne Dyer's Meditations for Manifesting and really enjoying it.

Any tips or advice would be most welcome.

Thank you.

Hi there

Meditation ist an umbrella term.
Breathing meditation is a meditation, visualizing meditations are meditations...

TM is a certain technique that is kind of trademarked and it is only possible to learn it via a paid class (there are mantras that are hold secret).

The goal is to achieve the trancendel stage while being fully awake - thus meaning the stopping of every train of thougt in your mind.

Don't know if that's a goal I'd go for- empty minds enough in the world imho

Thank you for replying to my post.

I think you have to be quite a dedicated meditator to want to achieve that sort of state of mind.

Maybe I will progress there one day!
