Transcendental meditation was first introduced by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1958 when he began a movement around the spiritual meditative practice.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born and raised a Hindu in Indian but now resides in the Netherlands. Due to the powerful nature of this form of meditation millions of people around the globe are active practitioners in the meditative form and many Buddhist monks perform its practices daily.

Many people report that transcendental meditation can eliminate stress and free up repressed energy in the mind and body. This repressed energy can take the form of negative emotional memories.

Now as a student of personal growth and self improvement I know only too well what the effects of pent up negative emotional discord can do.

Negative repressed energy, in the form of emotionally disturbing memories both large and small, can affect just about every area of your life. In fact this energy is better described in terms of thought and emotion (although thought and emotion is a form of energy just as everything in this reality is).

When we repress the thoughts and emotions that disturb us or cause us discomfort they tend to "go underground" and take rot in the subconscious mind. If left unattended to they will gather like-minded thoughts and emotions around them as the natural course of events when we repress more emotions. These clusters of repressed thoughts and emotions form beliefs.

We all know that negative beliefs can be devastating to our lives!

So, I can only assume that transcendental meditation, if it works, must be a positive force for eliminating these negatives from mind and body.

By releasing pent up, repressed emotions, and the thoughts associated with them, the beliefs that were formed by these repressed feelings naturally dissipate and dissolve into nothing.

Thus we become free to experience reality as it is and not through the murky filters of those negative beliefs.

It is interesting to note that the Holosync meditation is said to create the same effects (brainwave states) as transcendental meditation in the mind of the listener and therefore the claims made by its creator Bill Harris may well be true!
