Encouraging Thread

It is encouraging to hear that others have had success without the syllable.

I occasionally still use the syllable on days when I feel less centered, or when I feel like I could use a little extra help at sinking deeper in. However, it usually feels more forced to use the syllable at all. Instead, I sit down comfortably and just let myself fall into the familiar sensation. I still have moments where thoughts will pop into my mind, but usually soon fade back into the sensation.

My successes with NSR has made me want to look into the advanced techniques and maybe eventually into TM, though I feel a little conflicted about their pricing not reflecting their mission statement of bringing meditation and peace to the masses.
