Transcendence is a long awaited gift that fully explains the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, including how the brain waves change during meditation, and so much more.The benefits are described, including some personal experiences.So many people have asked me how I am so strong, highly creative, and how I move through transformative experiences seemingly suddenly, when others may take a long time to let go and surrender.
I was gifted with the opportunity to learn meditation at the early age of fourteen. I would arrive back home after studying all day at school, go upstairs to my room, meditate for 20 minutes, and emerge feeling refreshed like I had just awoke to start my day. I also began to write poetry that same year. I recall hearing the story of how John Lennon received many creative moments of flow during his meditation, and I have experienced the same. I feel the right and left-brain seem to unify, and in that state of unification, everything falls into place and makes perfect sense. I found the chapter on decompression of particular interest, and turning off the brains alarm system. Interestingly my blood pressure is always predictably perfect. Myriads of problems are addressed through TM within this wonderfully comprehensive book, and I feel this is the perfect timing for publication, as this is a time where people are seeking to keep centered in their inner core, whereby they will become less affected by what occurs outside of themselves, and more able to listen to the quiet inner state of tranquility and equilibrium will flow. I particularly love that Dr. Norman E.Rosenthal leaves no stone unturned here, and directly names experiences without sidestepping the glory of transcendent experiences, commencing with the title of the book itself, to the naming of chapters: -
Part 1 Transcendence
Part 2 Healing
Part 3 Transformation
Part 4 Harmony
I have been very fortunate to have personally experienced alignment to the unified field, as described in the final chapter. I have felt everything melt away like a river of light, yet immensely deeply connected to everything in existence. This has not occurred just the once, but more times than I can recall now, following three decades of meditation practice.
I am not a teacher of TM or seeking to push anyone into learning TM, but as so many people have asked what my ‘secret is’, I can now point them to this wonderful book, and my key ‘secret’. Crystal clear focus, tranquil emotions and a youthful mind, body and soul are the most wonderful harvest from planting the seed mantra so long ago.
