“It has made me feel calmer, and I find it easier to let things go now. The aim is to do it for twenty minutes twice a day, but I rarely manage that. I try not to put too much pressure on myself about that either.”

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

“George Lucas learned the Transcendent Meditation technique more than 40 years ago. The internet is full of rumors that the concept of “The Force”, in his Star Wars films, was inspired by Maharishi’s “Science of Creative Intelligence”, the more theoretical background behind the Transcendental Meditation technique. George Lucas has recently given his full support to the initiatives of the David Lynch Foundation. A video was recently published on the website of his Edutopia project (the George Lucas Educational Foundation) about the exceptional success of Transcendental Meditation (Quiet Time) in a school in San Francisco see TM Edutopia Video.

The main editor of Edutopia, after his visit to a school in San Francisco where TM was practiced, said: “Every once in a while, when visiting a successful school, you see something that makes your jaw drop, something so extraordinary, you have to stop and make sure what you saw is actually what it appears to be.””

“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’.

““The meditation is definitely helping with my stress. My resting heart rate is normally 67-71. When I finished a recent session I checked, and my heart rate was 59! Haven’t missed a day yet.””

“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.”

“I have done so many meditation courses, but there was always something that felt not right; I missed something. I did not feel satisfied. When I learned TM, it felt just like coming home to me. Finally I have found it.”
