Transcendental Meditation and Primordial Sound Meditation

Transcendental Meditation creates a state of dynamic Silence.
Primordial Sound Meditation creates a state of static Silence.
The TM mantras are dynamic mantras, because they are derivations of Shakti mantras. Shakti is the principle of Movement and Vibration. Therefore you get a state of dynamic Silcence, which means that there are still prana flows going on while being in the Silent state. The Primordial Sound Meditation mantras are not Shakti mantras.

They are mantras which contain a seed sound (bija beej beeja mantra mantras) that is incorporated in a bigger mantra (Aum "seed mantra" namah. These sounds correspond to the position of the Moon in our horoscope athe the time of our birth. The Moon governs the Mind principle in our astrological chart (horoscope). Therefore, that specific sound that is associated with the specific position of the Moon at our time of birth, is also a sound which is very closely related to our Mind. Normally it is not possible to meditate with just the "seed sound", that is why "Aum" has been placed in front of it and "Namah" after it. Thus we get the Primordial Sound Mantra. Meditating with this mantra creates a faster and deeper Silence then the Silence with Transcendental Meditation. In Transcendental Meditation the effects are very much dependent of the way or the manner in which you meditate. In Primordial Sound Mediattion it doesn't matter : the mantra is so strong that by just thinking it, a sort of silence is produced that deepens during meditation and at times you wil just "be present" wtithout any thought or any breathing or anything at all. In this kind of meditation a part of the pranic currents in our body-mind system become silent, especially the pranic currents that cause the mind to be active. So the mind become inactive and you get a state of Static Silence (,because there occurs a stop or slowing down of the pranic currents that cause our mind to be active).


Both mediations are good to practice, because there is a slight difference between the states that are "achieved".

Both states are enjoyable. For example, you can practice the Transcendental Meditation in the morning and the Primordial Sound Meditation in the evening, or vice versa, dependent of what suites you.

  1. Hello:
    Thanks so very much for mentioning about this. Only that my absolute main question is, although there have been lots of scientific studies and research on TM (Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation), about about PSM or Deepak Chopra's Primordial Sound Meditation?
    Most important, what about the difference in scientific studies/research in comparing TM (Transcendental Meditation) against PSM (Primordial Sound Meditation).
    In one question, if TM reduces the metabolic rate by 16 to 18 percent, then what has been measured in Primordial Sound Meditation--is it generally as much as more than 20 percent reduction???
    Also, is Yogic Flying also taught by Deepak Chopra and Seduction of the Spirit. What about research on PSM in reducing crime and negativity?? What about large groups of yogic flyers gathering together using Chopra's method of PSM and Seduction of the Spirit??
    Please try to really find out and then respond back to me. Right away--please!!
    Thank you so very much.

  3. That's the thing about PSM there isn't the same kind of scientific studies to support the technique, as is the case with TM. So, you could do your own objective research by PROPERLY learning both and seeing what works for you. The only downside is that cost may be a factor. If you are more scientific in nature, ask yourself what you are looking for from meditation and then learn the technique which seems to fit you best.

  4. I wish to address is question ONLY to have who have practiced BOTH Transcendental Meditation and Primordial Sound Meditation--I wish to address this question ONLY to those who have practiced each, for years, such as those who have practiced TM for years before learning PSM. I am not seeking to ask anyone who has not practiced both for some time.....My question is what is the comparison in your experience with TM as compared with PSM. I understand that both are pleasant and soothing and calming, but does TM seem somewhat more calming to you personally, or does Primordial Sound Meditation feel more calming than TM, even though TM already does feeling calming, more than not doing either.
    Also, since research indicate that a person's metabolic rate usually drops down by 16% in TM, what about in PSM?? Is it greater than 16%, perhaps as much as more than 20 percent reduction??
    Please, please let me know!!!! Thanks so very much!!!

    Also, please try to get in contact with those who has practiced both TM (Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation) and PSM (Chopra's method of Primordial Sound Meditation, and please pass this specific methods on to those only who has already practiced both TM and PSM, asking those to respond back to me.

  7. Hello Joe,
    I have watched your question posed for about 4yrs now.
    Did you ever get a reply? I don't think so.
    My question to you is;
    - Did you, or have you, engaged in one or the other meditations?
    If so, your question would be answered already.
    If you have not already done this, then, why not? Your mind and your body will tell you the answer. You don't need to be subservient or dependent on someone else's experience. Guidance or confirmation from someone else who has 'done both' is nice, but in the end we all have to stand ourselves. Stand on our own two feet. There is no absolute Truth to be gained from another. Look for yourself. Then you will find for yourself.
    I too practice Transcendental Meditation, but I see that there may be too much emphasis on reliance on the edicts and opinions of others.
    See for yourself.

  8. Having practices both methods I find some of your statements confusing. You state "In Transcendental Meditation the effects are very much dependent of the way or the manner in which you meditate." There is only one way to practice TM if you are taught the official method, there are NO variations and instructors go to great lengths and undergoes extensive training no ensure that they teach is as such.

    Also your explanation of Shakti method vs static Prana method is very interesting. IN all my time in India and Nepal I have never heard anyone speak of static Parana. In fact it has been unanimously the opposite. I am very curious as to where this information originated since there are no lineages in India I know of that teach this.

    The PMS method is very similar to Advanced Tm methods. So much so that it is hard not to believe that it was not inspired by it.

    Just food for thought.

  9. I have practiced TM since 1976 and have also practiced Primordial Sound Meditation (off and on) since 2002. They are very similar, and I see little difference in the way that they are practiced. As one commentator states, TM is only practiced in one way. There are no variations. I can see no difference between its method and that of PSM. I do find a deeper state of silence with PSM, for what that's worth. As for scientific studies, I really don't care, and I have grown utterly uninterested in the constant TM emphasis on the studies that it has inspired -- almost all of which are done by TM itself. PSM has a greater emphasis on the spiritual aspects of meditation, though it lacks the structure of TM that includes retreats and extensive follow-up care.

  11. Hello, I realize that both TM and PSM are each extremely unique and wonderful, yet I do have another question--I do remember that there has been past studies on TM's (Maharishi Transcendental Meditation's) which shows that TM slows its practitioners metabolic rate (or oxygen comsumption) by about 16-18%. But what about PSM (Deepak Chopra's Primordial Sound Meditation), in slowing down its PSM meditator's metabolic rate?? Has there been any studies or research to see how much PSM (not TM) slows down it's PSM meditator's metabolic rate in percentage?? Please try to find out. Thank you.
