Analyze the definition of Transcendental Meditation

Transcendental Meditation (TM) involves focusing on a specific assigned mantra (a sound, word, or phrase repeated silently) to settle the mind, rather than trying to actively force or keep an empty mind.

Evaluate the statement

Since TM relies on focusing on a mantra rather than actively trying to maintain an empty mind, the statement is false.
