What is the method for transcendental meditation? How is it different than traditional meditation?

Question by Mikhail on "Meditation":

It seems that all the research I do on this form of meditation directs me to buy a book or pay for a class... Must there be a price tag on enlightenment? Those familiar with the method, please instruct me on how it is done. Silly answers will be tolerated, but I would like to know the facts. Thanks.

As you no doubt know, TM was not only invented but copyrighted and trademarked by Maharshi Mahesh Yogi. There is little doubt that the motivation for doing this is that it can be taught at great monetary profit. It's unfortunate when a potentially useful technique is withheld by a profit motive, but there it is nonetheless. Fortunately some former students of TM have made some of the inner "secrets" and methods available to the public. One excellent source of information is here (though you'll have to comb through the various links to get the whole picture): http://www.minet.org/
