It's hard to learn TM without taking the course. The actual technique is pretty simple, but when you take the course they make you sign a paper saying you'll never teach it to anyone. They say that's because it has to be taught right (and of course, they're the only ones to teach it right, and they make money off it).
They've discovered a series of mantras that, if repeated to oneself, drop your body's metabolism into a state of deep sleep, even though you're wide awake. Each 20-min meditation is roughly equivalent to about half a night's sleep. It does work - I've found it hugely useful if I have a bad night's sleep (or a hangover).
When I took it (ab't 10 years ago), it cost about $100 for students and and about $300 for others.
You could learn from someone who's done it before, but it's rather important they meditate with you the first 2-3 times.
Here's a link to some of the mantras. They say it's utterly unique to you and you should never tell it to anyone, but I've heard that there are about 10-15 mantras and they just rotate them between people.
I have mixed feelings about the organization. On one hand they do good work and mean well, but on the other they make money on something that should be given away for free. If you want to know some of the mantras, go to this link: http://minet.org/mantras.html. Also, here's a site that describes the technique rather well: http://www.caic.org.au/eastern/sydda/free-tm.htm

there are some mantra on line but I know what you mean 2500 dollars for a four day guru is a bit steep for me as well . I just googled meditation and looked up a mantra specifically om mani pad meh hum and actually found people who will chant for you on youtube.

Avoid anything you do not want for few min, hours, day, week, month and year duration. If you can avoid something for few minutes it is possible for hours, if it is possible for hours then it is possible for days. All depends on mind. If it is possible for me why not for you?
