Have you heard about Transcendental Meditation® or as it’s widely known, “TM”? Perhaps you may have heard that many celebrities and athletes have learned this specific method of meditation. In fact, the Beatles touted that they learned it directly from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder TM. To discuss it more in-depth, today’s guest is Bob Roth, one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation leaders in America. For more than 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation® to many thousands of people, and is the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, “Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation.”
Today Bob talks about the difference between meditation and mindfulness and breaks down the various aspects of exactly how our brainwaves change during the meditation process.
He is the Chief Executive Officer of the David Lynch Foundation and has helped bring meditation to more than a million students in underserved schools in 35 countries, to military veterans and their families who suffer from post-traumatic stress, and to women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. He also directs the Center for Health & Wellness, which is bringing meditation to companies, government organizations, and nonprofit organizations. We air this interview today in honor of creative genius David Lynch who passed away on January 15. Info: DavidLynchFoundation.org.
