Shelters of Stone
I wonder if Shelters of Stone is worth the money or if I'll be disappointed as I was with the follow up to the Highlander series?

Transcendental Meditation
One of the things I've been doing some reading on is transcendental meditation. I regularly meditate to a mantra that I don't know how to spell so I can't write it out but never for 15-20 minutes a sitting. I, frankly, don't have that kind of time. Saturday I went to The Chopra Center for my Mother's Day gift and I learned a new mindful meditation - using so/hum on the in/out breath. This works fine for me but I often find my mind wandering while still being able to do the so/hum. When I use a mantra I find my mind has to flow into the mantra much more and I don't have as much monkey-mind. Anyway, TM is "sold" frequently - there are classes, etc. It is reported to be "scientifically proven" to aid in a person's health (physically & mentally). I'm just not sure I understand the difference between a general mindful mantra meditation and TM. I find the websites I look at generally say "To learn more send us..."
