Anyone can confirm these TM mantras

[Ens Entium]

Hey there

I cant say much about the mantras.
About creativity though... you can approach the development like any other skill, even though it's closer to an ability. So i'd say particular kinds of practice. One type that could help is the exercise of

- closing your eyes and letting an image come to you
-then giving that image 'life' in some way, like adding colour, sounds, emphasizing certain parts of it
- then allowing that to naturally evolve into another picture, in other words do not imagine a new one or make drastic changes. The key is to, without effort, get new or transformed images through 'highlighting' certain things about it. You want to get the mind to tend to be in 'creative flow' more naturally.
-simple shapes and objects are obviously easiest to start with. You can try playing with several in your mind in a connected way. You can try this with sounds, or both, since you looking for audio-visual application.

Another thing you could consider doing whie your actually involved in the task, making the music video, which could help you quite a bit is the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. technique. Basically, it goes as follows:
S = what can be substituted in product/thing X?
C = what can be combined in product/thing X?
A = what can be adapted in product/thing X?
M = what can be modified in product/thing X?
P = what can be put to other purposes in product/thing X?
E = what can be eliminated in product/thing x?
R = what can be re-arranged in product/thing x?

Here's a link that can elaborate

You could apply each question to a component of the music video

I've been told that transcendental meditation is simply focusing completely on something like a flower or a candle flame, with no mantras or other thoughts moving through the brain - just silent focus. I've done that several times, and it really helps you to become calm and collected!

As for mantras, I will second the fact that "om" is a very powerful sound.

I thought this was the type of meditation that people did most often..? What type do you do most?

Hope that all helps!
