Testimonials

“TM is the best thing I’ve ever done to bring more creativity, positive energy and peace into my life.”

“Ik vind mediteren de beste selfcare die er is. Toen we in Bangkok woonden, heb ik een cursus transcendente meditatie gevolgd, dat probeer ik regelmatig te doen. Het lijkt erg op mindfulness maar dan met een mantra’.
(De Morgen, maart 2021)”

“Sporten helpt ook om je hoofd leeg te maken en stress te verminderen, maar soms is dat niet genoeg. Daarom doe ik sinds kort ook aan transcendente meditatie. Twee keer per dag, twintig minuten om mijn geest tot rust te brengen. Daardoor slaap ik ook beter.”

“TM gives me loads of energy and helps me reconnect with the stillness within myself. I couldn’t do without it. It’s a wonderfully clear form of peace. It’s as if I’m shedding pockets of tiredness.”

“I’ve been doing it for years, though sadly not nearly often enough. I really ought to do it every day; after all, a session only takes 20 minutes of your time. The benefits are that it calms you down – the technique offers greater depth than sleep and, at the same time, gives you energy. It refreshes you.”

“Over the past few years David Lynch has done more to bring the Transcendental Meditation technique to people’s attention than anyone else. He has practiced the technique for over 37 years and says he has never missed a meditation. He ascribes his legendary creativity to his TM practice. A few years ago he attended a theater play in the Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, and was so impressed by the students that he decided to devote his life to offering more children the opportunity to deploy their full creative potential. In 2005 He founded the David Lynch Foundation (DLF) which offers financial support to learn the TM technique to those that need it most. Since then the foundation has brought TM to over 250.000 students, war veterans, prisoners and people suffering from PTSD around the world.”

“It’s second nature. A bit like a power nap. That’s what we do on tour. Two hours before the show.”

“I started doing that towards the end of *In De Wulf*, because I felt I was struggling to be creative, even though I’m actually a very creative cook. That meditation feels like you’re sleeping very deeply for a while: you come out of it feeling much clearer-headed. It means I often suddenly see situations or problems much more clearly and can come up with solutions.”

“I’ve been practising transcendental meditation for a few years now. Ideally, I’d do it twice a day for twenty minutes, but I don’t always manage that.”

“You won’t catch me getting angry in traffic anymore.”
