The Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, natural program for the mind


to experience a more settled state, increasingly quiet and silent levels while it remains alert.  In this state of restful alertness, the brain functions with significantly greater coherence and the body gains deep rest for the release of chronic and deep stress.   Please see www.tm.org for more information on the TM technique.


 


The David Lynch Foundation was established in 2005 to fund the implementation of scientifically proven stress-reducing modalities, especially the Transcendental Meditation technique, for at-risk populations and high stress circumstances.  Some of the groups benefitting are: inner city school students; veterans with PTSD and their families; American Indians suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high suicide rates; incarcerated juveniles and adults; people participating in reentry programs striving to overcome addictions and other stress related conditions.  Please see www.davidlynchfoundation.org  for more information on their on-going programs.
