Thank-you Herbert Benson. You have given the world the great gift of the Relaxation Response without charging fees. You will always be remembered.
This is amazing.
What I like most is he doesn't say 'there's some secret piece that I can't tell you unless you pay me $3,000'.
Knowing what he knows, the way he says other techniques also work is nice to hear.
Don't have to sit cross legged on the floor either - or any of the other things added to 'mystify' the process.
Dr. Benson's technique works as well as any other I have discovered without the monetization that TM is now. RIP Dr. Benson.
Very well said. I paid £35 to learn T.M. Now? upwards of £800. It's a total scam.
I read Dr Benson's book, cost me a few quid and to be totally honest, I much prefer his method. Plus, anyone with access to the internet can learn it for free.

Is he dead now?
@@boomerang6130 yes, he passed away in Dec-2022
Yes, any kind of meditation will be beneficial and you don't need to pay for it. Conversely, the more that you are being charged, the more you are likely to be ripped off.
Thanks for these clips that aren't in the movie
Autogenic Training is also a brilliant technique for evoking the relaxation response.
There's more to meditation than relaxation...far more! Based on this exercise it confirms that the Indian method of meditation to realize God is spot on, and relaxation is just the beginning!
Look into Vagus nerve if you are interested about meditation as it is the one which is being interactex with during the practice.
Every time I use my Vegas nerve I loose all my money.
@@LetzBeaFranque lol
'How' - do you relax your muscles?
this technique differs from tm in that one does it with the breath where in tm it is random
Sacred healing techniques by shaminic quigong
If you want to self heal oh and buy this book relaxation response by herbert benson
I'm.not a reader but this book was the first I read
And wow
I'll bet when Dr Benson passed away that he didn't get the ostentatious funeral afforded "His Holiness," the Maharishi.
Yet, his technique works just as well. In fact I prefer Benson's!
Have you tried TM? If so how long did you practice TM? How long have you practiced Benson’s?
His technique won't give you glimpses of truth 🕉 it may relax your body that's it.
@@redpillmatrix3046He also didn't want to be a Guru or regarded as a Holy Man or extract wealth from anyone.
@@benisrood This is all in your own head.
Como me gustaría aver aprendido. Inglés porq estoy leyendo un libro de la Doctora Marian Rojas.. Y l nombra al Doctor Herber Benson... Para saber lo. Cq qdice
Por si nadie te lo ha traducido, en breve: Le cuenta que llevaron a cabo estudios con los que encontraron que todas las culturas con historia escrita tienen métodos que interrumpen el stream de pensamientos, conllevan a la relajación y que ayudaban a bajar la presión. Que la Meditación Trascendental era muy efectiva pero que no era la única en serlo.

Just to add a few comments here as many people are latching on to the 'I shouldn't have to pay for meditation' angle. The answer to that is you don't and you never have. That's the free-market! There are hundreds of meditation techniques out there that will either cost you nothing at all, or a nominal sum, and if that's what you want, then that's what you should go for. There's no point attacking an organisation that charges you for a truly professional service with a lifetime of follow-up across many ,media channels. No-one is forcing you to learn TM.
All stress is created in the imagination. we have learned to use our own intelligence against ourselves ...when I was in practice as a hypnotherapist after a few sessions clients reported a transformation in their stress levels ..by consciously taking their awareness out of their minds and allowing it to settle in peace about 4 fingers below your navel this will centre and ground you,,, no big deal simple straightforward principles our nervous system thrives on ...
Thank you. 💚
Nice to see someone not trying to fleece people, unlike the tm cultists.
The Tracedental People and organization charges several hundred dollars for their course.
They are scammers. They claim each person is given a special word based on their birthday, zodiac sign, etc...
It's all a scam.
Just do meditation. It works and it's free.
Mantras are used as vehicles in the ancient Vedic Tradition. The relaxation response is just the beginning of the effects of transcending. For some time now, we have recorded high Alpha 1 range frequencies when people are practising TM. So let's look at a much wider range of variables before we suggest that there is no difference between the specific instructions given during TM with a prescribed Vedic sound without a meaning, and a phrase personally selected by someone attempting to evoke a spontaneous relaxation response. There are many activities that promote the relaxation response - everything from sitting in sunlight to walking your dog. But these activities, like the "interrupting of the chain of thought" twice a day will have, at best, very marginal influence on the development of your consciousness. You can either pay the money and benefit from TM or you can save your money, and be satisfied with something totally 'bargain-basement'. Your choice!
I agree with u!
100%

taking a TM course next week!
Paying 1500USD for it … half my salary but i NEED TM . I had a horrible 37 years and need a huge change i have a reallly good feeling TM is it.
@@nagodio Wise choice. Enjoy!
Profiting from something like this is perverse and completely antithetical to the ethos. I went to a TM centre for a trial, it definitely worked but the centre was in existence to extract a lot of cash from individuals. There are many billionaires in the world, why not, instead, seek to endow the teaching and the distribution of the teaching?
@@benisrood Wherever you are, check your nearest TM centre, and what you will find is that they will bend over backwards to help you learn TM properly at a fee that you can afford and using a payment scheme that best works for you. You weren't expecting to get it free, I assume. As a point of consideration, you should remember your teacher is a fully trained expert and your course fee covers a lifetime of support - an absolute bargain, if you ask me.
You don't have to pronounce only think the word?
Right. (Saying it is ok, but better to think it.)
It's online with free instruction - few extra details but it's truly this simple.
