RP Members and Connections great video on Transcendental Meditation. This is the kind of material that we share each and every Sunday with "Warrior for Life" (WFL) Group Suport on Sunday evenings. In addition, we stay connected 7 days a week on SKYPE with our group members. We welcome Veterans, Active Duty Service Members, Military Family Members, and Civilians that are suffering from PTSD, TBI, MST, and other disabilities to join us on Sunday evenings.
Please connect with me first on SKYPE at: mikel.burroughs
Have a short BIO about yourself ready to go and then I'll add you to the group with a Welcoming Message. You can get to know others via text first and then join us on Sunday evenings. If you want to join the Video Conference just to observe, you can turn off video and audio and just observe until you feel comfortable with the group. All of our members are members of RallyPoint and we've been meeting now going on two (2) years now.
We have members from all over the world and United States, so come join us for this one hour of group support each week.
Here is how you can join this Sunday to just listen in if you want to or any Sunday in the future:
Warrior for Life Group Support Sunday night at 8:00 PM EST (7:00 PM CST) 6:00 PM MST & 5:00 PM PST!

I seriously investigated TM but the only place that offered to teach me cost hundreds of dollars and required me to make an offering to whoever started this. I don't worship anyone but Heavenly Father. And I don't think it take a hundreds of dollars to teach someone TM unless you were all about the money.

I know that. The offering was what got to me. I didn't think that should be necessary and it felt weird. Them there's still the money part.

Well said, Lynda. My Mom went to a New Age meeting once to learn TM and get a spirit guide. This was before she became a Christian. Her take was NEVER mess around with this. Ever.

I believe TM is a good tool. I am a Christian and my church supports using TM. That's why I believe the must be somewhere I can learn the technique without the spiritualism.

Y'all I am by no means an expert at meditation, I am a rank amateur. However, I some of the things I have involved myself in the last year or so have you meditate. I am still not very good at it but I think I am light years from where I was. I was very skeptical when I first started, however, over time I have found that I am better able to keep some of my issues a leash.
I am trying to get as educated as I can on the different breathing techniques in conjunction with meditation and of course fitness. I think it is/could be a huge asset for our guys who have brought back a rucksack full of issues, I am convinced.
