Dr Norman Rosenthal said to Jenny Crws Williams on 702 recently: “it’s just a pleasure, it’s easy, there’s an effortlessness about it. That’s the first thing. The second thing is the potency of it. I recommend it often to my patients. In one week my wife noticed the difference. She noticed I don’t get angry as quickly. I don’t get revved up.”

Russell Simmons had this to say in a recent blog: “I have been a meditator for about 12 years. It has given me energy, strength, health, wisdom, and access to my own inner stillness, inner silence, inner bliss. It is my connection to myself; it is my connection to the universe. About two years ago, I visited a school in South Africa where all the students practiced one particular form of meditation–Transcendental Meditation (TM). They were bright, alert, energized with life.”
