Transcendental meditation program (TM) (also called by some people transendental meditation) is maybe one of the easiest meditation type available today to those of us who want to take up the practice of meditation.
This technique is maybe the most commonly known known to the Westerners because it doesn't require any effort exept simply sitting with your eyes closed for about 15 to 20 minutes in a relaxed position on your chair.
Some people call it a lifestyle, but it really isn't it. You don't have to change anything else in your life to practice TM except spending those 20 minutes away from the daily chit chatter, in quiet and peace.
The way this meditation works is by slowly quieting your mind without having to focus on anything. Most techniques either guide you to clear your mind or to focus on something, be it an object, a notion, an idea, your breath or a deity (like God).
However with learning Transcendental Meditation TM, your mind will be able to experience pure awareness in a very easy way. The transcendental teachings call this 'transcendental consciousness', which is basically your most inner Self.
