Interesting discussion. There are mostly two reasons why I have not learned TM… one is that it was taught too far away from where I live (to attend to many “classes” when learning TM), and the other was/is that I have not had the money to spend on meditation.
Now it seems you CAN learn TM only 30 minutes away, by car, from where I live… so what is stopping me is the economical part. But if I work hard for a few years, and make enough money, which I plan to do, and you are able to learn TM nearby, the two reasons not to learn TM are gone for me…
If I learn TM some day, I might write about my experience in this forum for people to read… My questions are; would it be easier to keep the routine each day with TM? Is the “personalised” mantra making it easier to trancend into stillness than I AM? That are the questions I would like to know, and I guess the way to find out for sure is to try both…

Thank you for reviving this interesting thread.
I find that any error made in getting the technique “right” at the beginning due to misinterpretation/misunderstanding of the instructions or drifting off the right technique at the beginning will eventually correct itself out because these techniques are based on intrinsic tendencies of the body and mind, so years down the line, they refine and correct for effectiveness and efficiency. Am I making sense?

Yes, you are making sense. It is funny, this thing I discovered through practice (and I haven’t even been practicing each day) that the meditation works better, feels better, and so on when not being TOO focused or concentrated on the mantra and let it flow easily and effortlessly in your mind… this, what TM is telling people that their meditation is like on their website, not being about concetration, being very natural etc… Maybe it is something about this, which the TM-teacher is guiding the student in? “How to” repeat the mantra, how to relate to the mantra and the meditation procedure? I am wondering… it is anyways these things I would like to “learn” when being on a meditation course.
But yes Sey, I believe it is as you speak in the matter… Maybe it is not so much about doing it right, as doing it and being relaxed and easy about it? There is so much blocking in doing it right, doing it wrong, especially in meditation I believe.
In my opinion, this is what Yogani’s book on meditation gave me mostly, removing these things which are blocking the actual easy process of mantra meditation… like he “undressed” my meditation and my ideas about meditation and made it so much more natural and effortlessly. 
I was truly amazed by that book and it’s result on me after reading it…
Anyways, almost feels like I have written a book in this post haha 
hope I did not get too far away from the thread topic.

Hi Colours,
On the AYP retreats, there are question and answer sessions during the evening Satsangs, so if anyone is unsure about any of the techniques (not just meditation), they can ask. There are quite a few retreats happening in the U.K. this year and next year and I will also be leading a one week retreat in Spain next May.
Details here.
There are also plenty of opportunities for people to ask questions on practice during the AYP Teacher Training Courses. The courses last for a month, so there is a lot of time to go in depth with practices.
Details on upcoming TTC’s are here.

Hi Christi,
I have heard about the retreats and also the teacher training. I live in Sweden so there is not very easy for me to join a retreat at the moment, even if I would like to. If it were closer it would be different. That is why I was happy that TM now teaches their meditation right where I live, if I understand it correctly.
I have not practiced enough to be able to take the teacher training course. I would need more experience… I am still struggling to maybe meditate regularly each day some day… So I am far from becoming a yoga teacher But thanks anyways for the tip.
It is good, anyways to have the AYP-forum, and Yogani if you are having any trouble with practice…
