I learned transcendental meditation years ago and basically it just involved repeating the same word (my word was 'imma') over and over again in your head for as many minutes as you are old...to a max of 40 mins twice per day. That was it!! I stopped doing it because I used to fall asleep, every time after about 5 mins! I remember the word you were given was supposed to be unique but after questioning others, many of us had the same word....and it was not to be a word that meant anything. However, 'Imma' sounded to me like that cream for removing hair 'Immac' so maybe it just lost it for me!
