Lately “Natural Stress Relief” meditation method has come to my attention after surfing around. The method is very similar to AYP’s DM, and TM, but I assume the mantra, or as it is called the “syllable” is different. Anyone here know what that mantra/syllable is? thanks.
Hhmm…not many posts or replies here’bouts these days. Seems most have gone over to the AYP Plus site?? Anyway, I posted this question simply out of curiosity and if anyone might know the exact mantra. An acquaintance online said he thought it is “***” (pronounced like **** or ***), which is actually the beej mantra of the muladhara chakra (!) or root chakra which I find interesting and a bit amusing if indeed that’s what the NSR mantra is.
Hello LittleTurtle
We’re not ingnorig your question, it’s more likely we don’t know the answer. I for one am not familiar with that NSR meditation.
All the best to you.
Hi LittleTurtle:
NSR is one of several spin-offs from Transcendental Meditation by former TM teachers. TM mantras are confidential, and NSR’s may be too.
All the best!
The guru is you.
OK thanks for the replies.
Your friend is correct. I learned NSR many years ago. It is a great resource created by ex-TM teachers. It is an effective, inexpensive way of learning “TM” supported by a good forum and a highly experienced moderator. In my experience, the AYP teachings complement and augment it, making a more complete practice.
mark25, my question was “Anyone here know what that mantra/syllable is?”
Your friend said “***”. He is correct but it is pronounced *** not . While it is a bija mantra it was chosen for its effect on the CNS not the root chairs. In TM, MMY originally used "" for everyone, also a bija mantra. The important point is to use the mantra correctly and that is why the NSR manual, mp3 and free support on the forum is helpful.
thanks for the response. the beej mantra “***” is pronounced as *** so maybe NSR simply pronounces it differently.
