NSR Meditation: Why I Wish More People Knew About This

Summary

The author advocates for NSR (Natural Stress Relief) Meditation as the most effective technique they've found after 15 years of practicing various meditation methods.

Abstract

After exploring a wide array of meditation practices over a decade and a half, the author has concluded that the NSR technique stands out as the most beneficial for stress relief and overall well-being. NSR, which is similar to Transcendental Meditation but more affordable, involves effortlessly thinking a meaningless sound to achieve a deep state of rest and release stress. The author contrasts NSR with other methods that require concentration, such as breath awareness or body scans, which they argue do not release stress as effectively. Additionally, the author recommends The Headless Way for those seeking to understand their true nature. The article emphasizes the superiority of NSR and The Headless Way over other meditation techniques for achieving calmness, happiness, and a fulfilling life.

Opinions

NSR is superior to other meditation techniques for stress relief and personal fulfillment.
The simplicity and effortlessness of NSR make it more powerful than its name suggests.
NSR is a cost-effective alternative to Transcendental Meditation, with similar benefits.
Other forms of meditation, such as breath awareness or mindfulness, may provide temporary relief but do not release stress as effectively as NSR.
The Headless Way is recommended for spiritual awakening and understanding one's true nature.
The author dismisses other meditation practices, including spiritual attempts, as less effective compared to NSR and The Headless Way.

Are you struggling with meditation? If so, you might be using the wrong technique.

I’ve been meditating in some form for 15 years. I’ve tried many different techniques — breath awareness, counting my breaths, deep breathing, body awareness, visualizations, mantras, “do nothing” meditation and many variations and combinations in between.

But it was the NSR technique I learned in 2017 that’s had the most beneficial effect on me and is now my main regular form of meditation.

What is NSR?

NSR stands for Natural Stress Relief. It is far more powerful than its normal-sounding name would suggest. Yet it’s extremely simple and requires no effort.

It’s actually a much cheaper version of the expensive Transcendental Meditation and was started in 2003 by a former TM teacher. Apart from one or two minor differences, it’s basically the same effortless but powerful process. Twice a day, you sit quietly with your eyes closed and think a sound in your mind without putting in any effort.

How is NSR different from other forms of meditation?

By effortlessly thinking a meaningless sound, the mind and body naturally sink into a deep state of rest. During this state of restful consciousness, stress is released.

This doesn’t happen with most other forms of meditation, which usually require some form of concentration. If you focus on something for long enough (e.g. your breathing or body) you will reduce your thought activity. This will provide you with some temporary relief, but it won’t release stress in the way NSR does.

I also recommend The Headless Way, but it depends on what your goal is. If you want to awaken to who you really are, The Headless Way is the quickest and easiest path. If you want to reduce stress, become calmer, happier, and live a more fulfilling life, NSR is the way.

Forget everything else — breath awareness, mindfulness, or trying to be spiritual. After 15 years of experimenting with every type of meditation I could find, I now only recommend NSR and The Headless Way.
