Transcendental Meditation™ As a Path to Freedom

THE ROLLS ROYCE OF MEDITATION TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION™ AS A PATH TO FREEDOM

Empowering the Black Community

Through an Inward Journey

Master Je'-Ru Hall

In today's fast-paced and stressful world, finding inner peace, achieving a state of mental clarity, and experiencing emotional well-being have become increasingly important and elusive. Many people seek methods and practices that can help them navigate the challenges of daily life while fostering personal growth and selfrealization. Meditation is a widespread practice that even many medical doctors and mental health counselors recommend to their patients as part of a treatment plan for varied issues from high blood pressure to depression. Among the various approaches to meditation, Transcendental Meditation (TM) has risen to the top as perhaps the most powerfully effective technique for achieving profound relaxation, heightened awareness, and improved overall health and well-being. It also leads to hyper-focused visioning, mindset shifts, and selfactualization that most highly successful people, from sports stars to business titans, point to as a key component to their success.

The stillness of TM reinforces that the mouth of God is the mind of man in its perfect state, and as such, multidimensional healing, awakening, and manifesting are activated within the practice.

Healing Inner Scars

When I started learning TM, I was honored to have among my teachers, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of TM. This was over 40 years ago, and I was surprised to see that while the practice is inclusive, I rarely saw my Black brothers and sisters sitting with us. As I achieved greater levels of bliss, I invited people of all backgrounds and colors to join me. It was such a blessing to be able to share the profound changes that I’ve experienced in myself with others. However, the mystery of not seeing this gift more prevalent in my community continued to confuse me.

In my work with TM with people of all backgrounds, what I found in all my breakthroughs and also heard from my brothers and sisters in the Black community is that the psychic scars of slavery, the racial conditioning, and the cultural programming all serve as invisible chains that still exist we were rising above and breaking free from these shackles internally. With the unique application of TM, I have found that it is the fastest and most effective path to complete freedom, to move forward through healing and emerge as a fullyrealized human being at peace with myself and my purpose on the planet,

This goal of being a fully-realized human being is focusing on the inner journey and profound personal growth. The Black community has been purposefully pushed from the gift of a higher mental plane through cultural manipulation. White supremacy, which runs through the veins of our society, is like a systemic, long-term virus. It has altered our minds and continues to pull Black people into a mindset of not being worthy of these gifts, but the gift of spiritual health is ours to have it’s a universal blessing to humanity.

Breakthrough

The more you pull the bow back, the farther the arrow will go. When most people function throughout the day, a complex, intricate system of nerves fires through every fiber of your body, connects with your brain, and informs your brain in a myriad of ways. Your nerves are like little antennae, and they pick up everything from every sense that you have, including your intuition. Even before you are born in this world, from nine months in your mother's womb, your brain begins processing information from your senses. All of those messages sent from your nerves leave an imprint on your brain. Then, you go throughout the day receiving all these imprints, and at the end of the day, you’re filled with an overload of stimulation. This creates a feeling of exhaustion because the system is overwhelmed. Your body, mind, and emotions are blocked by the day-to-day imprints distracting you from deep happiness which is a natural homeostasis that has been cluttered by noise. It may seem like happiness is impossible to achieve with the stress and chaos surrounding you, but it’s not. In fact, it’s at your core and all around you, waiting for you.

People often seek happiness with external things: money, fame, status, over-indulgences, etc. Yet, we all have seen people with those things absolutely miserable because they are little more than imposters and distractions, imposing a temporary fix. Happiness derived externally works very much like pain medication. It might make you feel better briefly, but the reality of the pain returns because the cause of the pain is still there. Lasting and authentic happiness can only be found within. What’s on the outside is just a distraction, and being hyper-focused on these things often prevents us from achieving authentic happiness.

We are multidimensional Beings that are constantly emitting vibrations and frequencies that naturally attract similar frequencies and vibrations. The Universe doesn't give you what you want. It gives you what you are. There’s no coin to meet that search. There’s no follower count high enough to feel that connection. Your higher self is the voice of God. Your higher self is so connected to the Universe that it is one with it. Therefore, before you do anything, your higher self exists. It merely waits for you to tap into it and release it.

The Meditation Connection

During Transcendental Meditation, you become rested. Twenty minutes of TM is like a full night of sleep, but your mind is aware, alert, and expanded. We call that restful alertness. That's why I call it the Rolls Royce of meditation. You start to expand your conscious level into the subconscious. It's just like watering a plant. The bark gets stronger, and the leaves get brighter. As you go deeper within yourself, you find a bliss that extends from inside of you and reaches everyone you interact with. You become the sum of your parts.

In my work with TM, I have had the privilege of witnessing breakthroughs among people from diverse backgrounds. However, my experiences, particularly with my brothers and sisters in the Black community, have revealed the lingering effects of slavery and racial conditioning, as I mentioned previously. These invisible chains, represented by psychic scars and cultural programming, continue to hold us back from realizing our full potential as human beings. In my journey, I have discovered that TM is the fastest and most effective path to the freedom we crave and yet too often feel deprived of not just in society but how that has seeped into our bodies and minds to inform our sense of self-worth. With over 40 years of training and guidance in TM, I have been empowered to dedicate myself to sharing this transformative gift. While intentionally focusing on welcoming diverse backgrounds, my mission is to help as many individuals as possible realize their full potential and create a harmonious existence on Earth.

Healing Psychic Scars and Breaking Invisible Chains

No one wakes up wanting to be unhappy. No one wants to live without the freedom of happiness, yet most do live with these shackles of pessimism and beliefs in scarcity. Along with that, the history of slavery has left deep psychological wounds on the Black community, scars that continue to affect our collective consciousness. The conditioning of racial inferiority and the systemic oppression experienced by our ancestors have had a profound impact on our mindset and self-perception. TM offers a unique approach to healing these psychic scars and breaking free from the invisible chains that still bind us.

Through the practice of TM, we can transcend the limitations imposed by past traumas and conditioning. The technique allows us to dive within ourselves, accessing the deepest levels of consciousness. By settling our minds and allowing thoughts to come and go, we can transcend them and rise above their influence. TM provides a technique for going beyond the surface level of the conscious mind, enabling us to reach a state of restful alertness. In this state, we dissolve stress and restore our natural state of being, experiencing profound peace and inner bliss. It is my honor to bring that to our community and to heal together, Black and white, rich and poor, to break the bondage we all suffer because of the history of our ancestors.

The Rolls Royce of Meditation and Personal Development

TM stands out among various meditation practices due to its unique approach. While many forms of meditation focus on concentration or contemplation, TM utilizes a mantra a sacred sound to facilitate transcending the conscious mind and accessing deeper levels of consciousness. This approach sets TM apart as the "Rolls Royce of meditation," offering unparalleled benefits for personal development, peak performance, and holistic well-being.

By regularly practicing TM, individuals can experience significant improvements in their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial aspects of life. TM provides profound rest to the mind and body, often surpassing the benefits of several hours of sleep. This deep rest allows the body to rejuvenate and heal, leading to increased energy levels, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall health.

Moreover, TM cultivates restful alertness, expanding conscious awareness and increasing one's ability to handle stress. As the nervous system strengthens, individuals become more resilient and less reactive to external pressures. TM practitioners often report greater happiness, improved relationships, heightened creativity, and a sense of fulfillment in their lives. This transformation occurs as individuals tap into their innate potential, unlocking their highest mental, emotional, and spiritual capabilities.

Over 350 peer-reviewed research studies have been published in over 160 scientific journals. These studies were conducted all over the globe including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, and the studies say what we say. You feel better. You are physically better: lower blood pressure, better sleeping, and less chronic pain. The stress and pressure of life that wears on your body and mind lift. You transcend the limits of your body, and in doing so, you help your body heal.

Just like you go to a gym and get a personal trainer, you know that everybody knows how to there's some way to workout.

However, if you go with a personal trainer, you're going to get much greater results.

Connecting with the Universe and Realizing Full Potential

The Universe is already in tune with you. You merely need to embrace it. Consciousness is the sum total of your being: your mind, intellect, and ego.

• TM not only offers personal benefits but also facilitates a deeper connection with the universe and the realization of one's full potential. Through the practice of TM, individuals can access their superconscious mind a state of pure consciousness where knowingness and bliss reside. In this expanded state of awareness, individuals experience profound peace, joy, and a sense of unity with the universe.

• TM enables individuals to go beyond intellectual understanding and tap into a deeper level of knowingness. By transcending the conscious and subconscious realms, individuals awaken to their divine nature and recognize their unlimited abilities.

• Consistent practice of TM has numerous benefits, including reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and aids in the healing of many physical illnesses. It is also a powerful tool in improving focus and attention, enhancing creativity and problem-solving abilities, promoting cardiovascular health, and fostering overall psychological and physiological wellbeing. Further, TM is accessible and suitable for anyone, regardless of religious or cultural background. It does not require any specific beliefs or prior experience in meditation. The technique is taught by certified TM instructors through personalized instruction and is typically practiced for 20 minutes twice a day.

Famed musician Stevie Wonder spoke openly about his journey into TM. In fact, Stevie Wonder's Innervisions album is a vivid exploration of his meditative experiences. Stevie Wonder actually wrote a song “Jesus Children of America“ that states, “transcendental meditation can give you peace of mind,” while the overarching theme of the song was about how spirituality (not defining a specific religion) can inspire people to change themselves and the world around them.

Russell Simmons, best known as a founder of Def Jam Recordings, discovered TM in the 90s, and Oprah started over a decade ago. All people, whether they practice TM or not, still have challenges and problems. It's just that your consciousness can handle it better, and you can maintain peace within yourself no matter what's happening on the outside when TM is a part of your daily life. TM is your calm in the middle of the storm. So, no matter what's going on, you are establishing your own self in harmony within. As you start to know that self, then you start to know the truth. It sets you free from within in a space that bursts outward.

TM is more than meditation. It is a transformative journey with a guide who travels with you from being your thoughts and feelings to becoming the culmination of your conscious and subconscious self all of you. We do not thrive seeking bliss alone. You deserve to be vibrantly alive to achieve your desire to manifest whatever you want in life and to be in and to have your cup runneth over. Your aim is to enjoy a great life and then share it with others. Discover the underlying secrets within your SELF to enhance your five bodies, mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial, by taking these practical steps toward an awakened life an enlightened life a life full of love, light, and bliss where you step into Life as a Master of your Universe.
