It's wonderful bow the emphasis on ease in learning TM makes it so. I've noticed my mind is inclined to complicate things, keeping chaos active and the mind busy doing its gyrations of increasing complexity to make evident its marvelous skills. There it goes again! Doing TM allows for the gentle favoring of the mantra. At one point in one of my first few meditations, I watched myself 'throw' the mantra at a thought that came loudly to mind. It had the effect of overpowering the thought and silencing it yet left me with a sense of effort. Back to ease and taking it as it comes I returned. I'm bringing that ease into my active state more. I get the feeling this is an evolving practice as no two sessions are alike.
