Award winning painter describes her experience of Transcendental Meditation

http://www.tm.org Mindy Weisel describes her experience of learning how to meditate with Transcendental Meditation.

I'm doing things creatively that I would have never ever imagined. I'm a painter and I work with paints and two years ago I visited this glass studio and I felt this moment of recognition and starting working with glass and just had a major exhibition of glass. I say I would have liked to have meditated all these years but I never realized it was something that you can be taught. I would go every year to a health spa and every year I would try. They would have, "Okay, this hour is going to be meditation" and I would go in and sit down and I'd go "Hmm, what am I supposed to do with myself?" and I would leave. You can learn how to meditate. You close your eyes and you have this deep, profound, meaningful rest and it is beautiful, easy, simple. You are in a state of being and to have this gift of being in the moment and then some how that lasts and it accumulates. I'm being more present in the creative process in the work itself also. Work doesn't have to be so hard. Work can come from a place of flowing, of openness, of responsiveness, of hearing, listening-- just being more aware. You don't have to fight so hard to get to that work.

It is really easy to learn how to meditate with Transcendental Meditation because it is such an effortless procedure. A certified teacher of Transcendental Meditation can teach someone in just a couple of hours.

before David Lynch did TM his work was amazing, he felt the negativity in the world and responded to it artistically, because the world is by nature (balanced) both beautiful and dissastrous, how can people honestly respond to the darker side of nature if each time they "FEEL" the darker side of life, they switch it off through TM right. I dont wish to be negative i just think this is a valid question.

TM allows you to unfold you full human potential. I really believe that. I get these amazing ideas after I come out of mediation.

I agree with you that work should be flowing and nourishing our soul and contributing to our common humanity but tell that to millions of wage slaves across the world who have nothing except their physical energy for survival . the world has become a prison a gulag a market a realestate where the rulers of the world behind their ideological facade and lies carry on exploiting and destroying everything they can grab.ONLY IN A WORLD THAT WE SHARE AND CARE CAN THERE BE USEFUL WORK
