We all have heard about the benefits of Transcendental Meditation (TM) but there are some people who are not aware of this technique. But in fact it is a very simple and effective method which helps in improving your mental health. You may have heard about the name of this technique from your friends and family but didn’t know how to practice it. If you are one of those people then you are at the right place as I am going to share with you the best tips for practicing TM.

Here are the top 10 tips to help you practice TM:

• Find a quiet place First of all, you need to find a quiet place where you can practice your meditation. You can start your meditation with your room or even in a park. But make sure that it should be a place where you can concentrate on your meditation.
• Start with a mantra You need to find a mantra for yourself which is easy to remember and will help you to concentrate during the meditation. It is very important to follow the mantra as it will help you to connect with the universe.
• Be relaxed When you are starting your meditation, you must be relaxed. If you are tensed and tense then it will be difficult for you to connect with your mind. So, try to be relaxed and calm before you start your meditation.
• Follow your breath It is said that our mind is always active and there is no need of your mind to be active during meditation. So, the best way to practice TM is to follow your breath. Your mind will automatically fall into the deep sleep mode while you are concentrating on your breath.
• Meditate for at least 15 minutes You can meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes but don’t do it for more than 20 minutes as it will not give you any benefits.
• Practice it regularly You need to practice your meditation every day for a minimum of 15 minutes. You can start your meditation with 5 minutes and then increase the time as your meditation skills improve.
• Don’t force yourself to practice It is very important to understand that your mind is not going to be at ease if you try to force yourself to do something. If you try to force yourself then you will feel that it is not going to work out and you will lose your motivation. So, try to follow your mind and relax.
• Keep a diary You must keep a diary in which you will write down all the benefits that you are getting from your meditation. It will help you to understand the results and will motivate you to practice.
• Try to find a mantra If you are a beginner then you can simply follow your breath as it will make your meditation easier. But if you have some basic knowledge about TM then you can try to find a mantra for yourself.
• Try to do it with someone When you are starting with your meditation then you must start with your friends or family members. You will get the best results when you are doing it with them.
