Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m tempted to pay a real chunk of money for the official course, but I can’t tell whether I’m buying something genuinely unique or just structure and a teacher I could get for free
- Every time I meditate I’m straining to "do it right"
- My motivation for this keeps fading because it’s all external
- I’d never blow three hundred dollars on something pointless, yet I’ll burn a whole afternoon on a useless meeting without a second thought
- Someone offers me extra paid work and I say yes almost on reflex because the money is right there in front of me

Transcendental Meditation (TM) - Transcendental Meditation (TM)
Transcendental Meditation is a mantra-based technique, taught as a paid, trademarked program, in which you silently repeat an assigned mantra for about 20 minutes twice a day to settle the mind into a quieter state "effortlessly." It may help with stress and blood pressure, but a large share of the supporting research is industry-affiliated, and independent reviews are more cautious — so the evidence should be read as mixed and contested, not settled. - Effortlessness (the “no concentration” principle)
Let the technique be passive and easy — TM’s central claim is that effort is counterproductive.
Transcendental Meditation (TM) - Practice self-reevaluation to build a new self-image
Imagine how you will think and feel about yourself once you have changed — and how you’ll feel if you don’t.

Ask "what is my time worth per hour?" and price time commitments in that currency.
