In today’s article, I want to talk about the Mantra in Transcendental Meditation.

The thing is, it is a conversation that we should have because I was just on internet looking at some resources, looking on YouTube also.

For material on Transcendental Meditation and I found so much nonsense about the mantra and I understand because I was kind of there too when I started Transcendental Meditation.

See this: (7 minute Meditation)

Before I started Transcendental Meditation, I thought what is this secret mantra is? Is it a secret sauce, a secret pathway to universal Consciousness, is it a secret access to God, what is it with this secret mantra why is it so secretive and a lot of people are posting articles of mantras revealed etc etc.

And some blog posts here are the mantras of Transcendental Meditation and you believe those things it’s because you don’t know What is Transcendental Meditation?.

So this is why today I want to make a article specifically on the mantra why it is secret, why you keep it a secret etc.

Before we start I just want to welcome the new people on the blog if this is your first time reading one of my article it’s quite a new page and I’m trying to build a community of people that want to feel better with themselves.

I have also shared Vipassana Meditation one of the ancient techniques of Meditation in my Meditation for the Beginners series. I’ll link those for you because I think it will be really helpful for all.

Meditation for the Beginners

I kind of call it breaking through the wall of suffering of pain.

Mind, body soul and also relationships have been through a lot of challenges and I’ve been battling with depression and anxiety and sadness and loneliness and I are on my way of to recover from all these illnesses.

I share my experiences and I try to give you as many tips and tricks that I find along the way.

Transcendental Meditation is the biggest thing that I’ve discovered and I did my course weeks ago.

So coming back to the subject why the mantra is so secret in transcendental meditation? and why is it so mysterious what is the matter?

Well, the mantra you know a little bit about Transcendental Meditation know that it’s not your base what does that mean?

It means that a sound or a vibration that is meaningless and by meaningless I can’t stress the word meaningless enough especially for people that think that it’s a special word, a special prayer or something that has easy access to higher powers this is not what it is.

It is a sound or vibration that has no meaning.

Because you know if you had a word that had meaning for example tomatoes sauce and you would just get into your meditation with tomato sauce, tomato sauce, tomato sauce there’s a lot of things that you can relate to tomato sauce, or even flour or even I don’t know potatoes whatever it might be.

So it’s important that it is a neutral and meaningless sound or vibration and that sound that mantra is just the ship, the path, the vehicle to get to your state of waking consciousness.

You know your state of anxiety where you have all these thoughts and all these pains stress down to transcendence,

where you can experience full consciousness, where you can experience unlimitedness and creativity and the pureness of love, the pureness of yourself.

What you were meant to be before you had all these bad experiences that made you so anxious and that created all the suffering.

They say that you’ve always had this pure consciousness this pure self Atma is called in Sanskrit,

but we forget about it and we lose it and why do we lose it well because of everything that happens in our lives.

So the mantra is only a vehicle and the reason why it’s a secret, so I asked my teacher when she gave me the mantra and then she told me this is your mantra.

Basically, after we did meditation I had a lot of questions one of my first questions, of course, was why is this mantra secret?

And the reason that she gave me is that first of all it’s a tradition that you keep your mantra secret and second of all, she said you will understand after you’ve practised it for some time.

And I mean I didn’t practice for years I met people that practised for 50 years notably at the Christmas party.

Where there was this guy talking a nice talk and they gave us those some books and everything and it was really nice and I’ve only done it for three weeks but I really really understand why the mantra is secret.

Because it becomes an intimate part of yourself so you’re meditating for 20 minutes twice a day and during those 20 minutes every single day you deal with some stuff in your consciousness,

you get into transcendence and this is very powerful, it’s a very powerful moment, it’s a very powerful feeling and you spend those 20 with the mantra.

Now when you lose the mantra and you lose the thoughts then this is when you’re in transcendence and you lose the sense of time you’re in the present moment there’s no more past there’s no future here.

There you’re in the unified field of consciousness you’re in you, know what they call transcendence we can talk more about it but the subject is the mantra today.

And so you spend all that time with the mantra and you just don’t want to tell people.

I read I’m not sure if I read it in the book or if I read it on internet something there’s a story of the Beatles they learned Transcendental Meditation directly from Maharishi.

The guy that brought meditation to the Western World, so he went to this state in 1955 and the Beatles heard of him and they wanted to experience what he had to teach and they went to him and they took lessons.

They did their initiations they got their mantras and they practiced chants into meditation they even wrote songs about it,

and they talked about it a lot and this is kind of how it became a little bit more famous because obviously the Beatles.

And there’s the story of the Beatles in the green room before our concert let’s tell each other our mantras and they got quite excited and it was like okay about telling each other.

And they were very close friend they went through a lot as you can imagine as I only imagine any because I wasn’t there they just couldn’t share it but just the thought of sharing their mantra brought them pain and they promised each other that never again were they to ask each other their mantras.

Because your mantra is something very intimate it’s something and you know I can’t stress it enough it is a meaningless vibration your teacher gives it to you.

So I have not done and this is why I don’t teach Transcendental Meditation.

I’ve not done the trainer teaching so I’m not sure how exactly the teacher gives you the mantra or chooses the mantra for you.

I suspect that during the initiation process my teacher was a she so she just, you know thought about this sound it’s I’m not gonna tell you what that exact mantra.

But it’s a very simple sound that you can remember it, then you’re going to repeat and then she just gives it to you so as I said.

You know, you do the little ceremony at the very beginning and then she talks your mantra, she tells you the match and she repeats it and then she asks you to repeat it, again and again, softer and softer and softer until there is no more sound and then you start a few minute meditations before talking about it and then doing a full 20-minute meditation.

So that’s it for this article, I just wanted to break the myths because I was also in this situation where I was thinking wow what is the secret mantra? what is the secret practice? why is Transcendental Meditation costly?

Why they do not make transcendental meditation free , why are all those really famous people practising Transcendental Meditation?

And you know there’s nothing so exciting about Scientology it’s not, it’s not a cult of any sort it is completely secular.

It’s not a religion, it’s not affiliated to any religion you can practice if you’re a Muslim, if you’re a Jew, if you’re a Christian, if you’re an atheist, if you’re in agnostic, if you’re whatever you are you can practice Transcendental Meditation.

There’s absolutely no call to religion I can’t stress this enough so yeah that’s it for today I hope you enjoyed this article do share with friends.

Especially people that are sceptic I’m the biggest sceptic I really went there with an open mind but I was quite a sceptic.

And I was quite looking forward to that secret mantra because everybody talks about the secret mantra that you get into Transcendental Meditation.

If you want more resources I really do suggest that you get this book.

I told you already you can get it on Kindle or in hardcover.

I got myself the Kindle and then the Christmas party in united states where there were other guys from the group and meditation organization U.S. and they gave a few free copies two copies.

One to give to a friend and 1 to keep for yourself as a Christmas present.

So this is why I have this hard copy but you can also get it in Kindle.
