He says that Transcendental Meditation played crucial role in developing his consciousness and boosting his creativity. David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness based education http One lady in the audience says: I teach film, I make films. I would like to know what does meditation or how does meditation connect to your creative process or to how it might help the creativity of my students. David Lynch: If you have a golf ball sized consciousness, when you read a book you'll have a golf ball sized understanding, when you look out a golf ball sized awareness and when you wake up in the morning a golf ball sized wakefulness. But if you could expand that consciousness then you would read the book with more understanding and when you look out more awareness and when you wake up more wakefulness - it's consciousness.

Visit: www.tm.org On December 7, 2011, Oprah Winfrey was featured in a candid, one-on-one interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz as part of his nationally televised "The Dr. Oz Show." During the interview, she discussed her life after the "Oprah Show," and her aspirations for the future—including the very positive impact her practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique is having in her own life, and in the lives of her meditating 400 employees.
For more information visit - TM.org Transcendental Meditation (TM) is explained by scientists - Dr John Hagelin and Dr Norman Rosenthal. Hagelin Meditation properly understood and properly practiced is a systematic means to turn the attention powerfully within. To experience and explore deeper levels of mind, quieter levels of the awareness until the mind is completely settled in the simplest state of human awareness. Rosenthal: Through Transcendental Meditation one can slip into a zone if you like in which you are thoroughly alert, profoundly relaxed, very joyful in spirit, but unfocused on anything in particular. It's not a thing your happy about and yet you're joyful. It's not a thing you're thinking about and yet you're alert. You're not asleep and yet you're profoundly relaxed. It's a really curious state that is a thing in itself. One thing about Transcendental Meditation and you hear this from many people who have tried a bunch of different meditation techniques to get to this state - is it's one of the simplest, most effortless ways of accessing the transcendent. Hagelin: In this meditative state the body gains a deep state of rest, deeper than sleep and deep seated stress is dissolved, providing an effective prevention to stress related illness, removing the deleterious effects of stress on health and brain functioning. It's a systematic meditation technique to develop the full potential of mind and body. *Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh ...
normanrosenthal.com Dr. Norman Rosenthal is internationally known for his medical expertise on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and worldly renowned for his pioneering work on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and for developing light therapy treatments for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Dr. Norman Rosenthal has seen the video with David George and his experience as a veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and it never ceases to amaze him. David George's trauma and experience of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has continued and is an inner experience even though the event has past. What we have here is a huge medical problem and a huge human tragedy. David George was one of five people whom was studied in a pilot study of Transcendental Meditation (TM) with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As awful as David's story was, it was no exception. Yet, four of the five people had the same level of transformation from the process of learning and practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM). Norman Rosenthal shows slides and statistics of the pilot study that was done on Transcendental Meditation (TM) and its effects on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Dr. Norman Rosenthal expresses that aside from the results of these studies researchers have collectively seen hundreds of people with PTSD (combat and non-combat related) tremendously helped by Transcendental Meditation. It is really impressive to see with your own eyes (the statics in ...
Hello super smart folks that like to read. ;) OK, I left a few things out of that video that I'll say here. One thing that people seem to have a problem with is the fact that it costs 00US to learn TM. I personally don't have a problem with that price seeing how people spend many people spend much more than that on "stupid" things all the time (beer, smoking, drugs, cars, electro gadgets, etc.) Also, it appears that you also get check up done throughout the year to make sure things are coming along OK. AND David Lynch has an organization that provides scholarships to people that would like to learn the technique, but can't afford it (like me! :D) It's thanks to David Lynch and his org, that I learned it. His website is here: www.davidlynchfoundation.org I never heard of Mr. Lynch until visiting the school in January, but seeing him live was awesome. He's a VERY cool guy. I have mad respect for him. Here's the visitor weekend "this past weekend": www.lynchweekend.org Something else "controversial" that I found in my internet searching is some guy that seems to have very negative feelings about TM (I won't provide a link, but you shouldn't have trouble finding it if you looked) saying that TM is the same as being hypnotized and the only reason people experience the things they do is because their teachers tells them "You might experience XYZ." I can understand why someone might think that's the case (depending on how their experience learning it went) but I personally ...
Dr Fred Travis explains what happens to the brain when someone practices the Transcendental Meditation technique. www.tm.org All experiences changes the brain and nothing changes the brain like transcending. Fred Travis Mr Lynch and Dr Hagelin gave a very compelling image of a Unified Field at the basis of our thought, at the basis of our behavior and these compelling images have concrete reality in the functioning of our brain. The quality of the functioning of your brain determines the quality of the functioning of your mind. If you want a creative mind you need a creative brain. If you want a calm and alert mind you need a restful and alert brain. This relationship goes the other way as well - the brain not only generates experience but also each experience we have changes the brain. Every time you see something, you hear something the words now going into your ears are creating this cascade of electrical activity in your brain. Individual neuron by individual neuron is sending the information and you have as if these connecting hands, we have this delicate network over your brain and that's what lets you see. That's what lets you decide and every time you have an experience that network gets a little stronger. Your brain is a RIVER it's not a ROCK. Indeed 70% of your brain cells change every day. What we have here is an example of 2 dendrites. Dendrites are where one cell takes in information and these little bumps that you see are called dendritic spines, this is ...
