Valid point, but for me the 1M$ question remains if it can be added to my approach and have a positive bottom line impact on the P&L of my trading. I will know somewhere in February/March. The price tag being at large 1K$ is a no-brainer. I don't have time to search and read 5 books. I am happy to pay for the short-cut. I know my metrics and will be able to see if any improvements.
Fair enough, you will know that mantra meditation leaves the practitioner in a quite suggestible state, it is really akin to auto-hypnosis. I'm sure many teachers are rational balanced people using it for the good they get and not utilising that suggestible state for ill.
It is not rocket-science I would say, not five books, maybe a youtube video or two however given that it can be potent and helpful 1k is not much if thats how you want to go for an intro.
It has piqued my interest, at least in studying Lynch's behavior and motivations a little more.
And beware the cats. They love it and you will need to find distance...
@Rory makes good points, the commercial side is rather typical, let's also not forget that at one point they were going to stand an MP in every UK constituency... Luckily not enough of them could knee-hop carpet fly. I still rate the technique though, the hype and commerce is just the usual worldly exploitation and can mostly be junked/ignored. Free is always good, but works well for dollars can be close enough.
For a simple, scientifically based mantra meditation technique, consider reading The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson,MD. Its available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions for less than $10.
IMHO meditation does help trading and other parts of life. You don't have to spend a lot, or go to somrwhere to do it. Another good reference is "Wherever you go, there you are". By Kabat-Zinn.
