Just a final note to emphasize that the time for NSR Meditation is 15 minutes, not 20 minutes. Confusion can arise because the first session lasts 20 minutes and because Transcendental Meditation is usually practiced for 20 minutes.
With NSR, which is a learn-it-yourself technique, meditation sessions (after the first one) should be 15 minutes long (plus or minus a minute or two), unless otherwise suggested by an NSR instructor.
As the manual describes, we time this primarily by "feel", then check with a watch or clock by opening one eye a little. Timing is approximate, but we aim for 15 minutes.
