After David Lynch died I started to get interested in meditation again and TM...

I talked to the official area TM folks today and *my* price would be $360 (4, 1.5 hour sessions), not the insane $1500 everyone is talking about. The psychiatrist is the same price and that stuff doesn't help at all. I am someone that needs hand holding (big time), and who the heck else is going to teach me? I don't have a mediation expert in my life. I need something badly as I have a lot of issues. The only thing is, since CT is such a lame place, the folks are in MA, the first session is in person near me, and the next 3 online. I would need to find a peaceful place for the 3 online sessions as my living environment is crap.

thoughts? Just skip it all and watch YouTube videos?
