Question
QUESTION: How does one meditate? - 17 student.
ANSWER: Jonathan, Thank you for your question.
Many meditation teachers will do their best to explain how to meditate. I believe this superficial attempt to explain does the student a disservice. Instead of learning how to transcend thought and experience the bliss of transcendental consciousness, the student is typically left with questions and confusion.
It is far better to learn in depth, with all questions answered. I recommend Transcendental Meditation (www.tm.org). With teachers available near you, it provides personal, guided instruction. However, it also costs a lot of money. An inexpensive alternative is available, NSR Meditation, which makes use of a printed manual so that you learn on your own. Experience and research proves that this method works well. If you are interested in finding out more, I suggest you explore www.nsrusa.org to learn all the details of NSR Meditation.
I hope this brief answer has helped. Please feel free to submit follow up questions, if needed.

Answering questions about "flow" will only confuse you more.
