Explain the history and practice of transcendental meditation
?Transcendental meditation (TM) was introduced as a technique in the mid-20th century by Marharishi Mahesh Yogi, a physicist who spent years developing a simple form of meditation that could be easily taught and learned. His global educational campaign helped popularize meditation in Western cultures. TM generally consists of a standardized program with regular classes over the course of several weeks or months. Students are expected to practice daily. TM uses a mantra, not solely as a focus for concentration but as a vehicle to "automatic self-transcending," a process in which one attempts to reach a higher state of being through meditation.
