RE: Are Most People Talking To Themselves All The Time and Hallucinating That They're The Ones Creating Their Thoughts?

in #psychology7 years ago

I wonder how to add anything to this, as I like it. I went so far as to pay my way into the TM programme (with a huge discount, but still serious euros) to realise that it is that simple. My problem is totally a lack of practise.
Like I do it precisely never.
What I have found is before and since, my painting process can often lead me into many hours (not pure, or maybe continuous is a better word, with interruptions as you can imagine in a house with twelve animals) of what fills this void.
It is no small part of the reason that I must work to feel even remotely 'happy' in my day to day.
And it doesn't combine well with reading, writing and commentating.

Sort:  

I assume you're talking about transcendental meditation, which many have spoken up about it being a sham, and how many other forms of meditation are significantly better. What I described is called Mindfulness Meditation and is what's most recommended by the top Psychologists and neuro-scientists of today. I have personally tried both, and have never been able to stick to transcendental meditation because I just don't have the patience for it, not yet anyway. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it.

hey yes. It is a scam, although the lovely girl who taught us the method certainly isn't in it for scammy reasons.
She is a true believer.
And I did nothing to let her know I feel like the TM thing is basically a type of... I don't know whether scam is exactly the right word, but you must know.
My own private realisation.

I can't stick to too much, except the working method goes close.
Big hugs

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts, I really appreciate it. <3
