Russell Brand describes Transcendental Meditation with Howard Stern

http://www.tmmeditationlondon.org.uk

Russell Brand and Howard Stern talk about Transcendental Meditation (TM)

Howard Stern: You suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) I know that.

Lady: Does he have OCD too?

Howard Stern: Yes he does and he practice Transcendental Meditation.

Russell Brand: I do I went into it, yeah, yeah the unified field, I just started it (Transcendental Meditation) about that time actually. I learned it off this fellow named Bobby Roth. He taught me around the time I met Katie it was very very succinct and helpful. It helped me because from that date from that mad acid rush of feeling like I was in love where she just went alright whats your favorite film just like as if you're talking down you know like I don't know anything man. Then everything was okay. From then I learned Transcendental Meditation, I went off to some prison in Louisiana to make a documentary and everything changed honestly. Not cheated, I've done nothing wrong not gone off with other birds, not messed around.

Howard Stern: Do you think that TM, I've been doing Transcendental Meditation for 36 years and when I started I stopped smoking spontaneously, a lot of things happened to me. So do you think from the TM that even your mind changed about women?

Russell Brand: Yes, I believe it may have.

@popgrand212 Please tell me that you were kidding. Being calmer, more present in the moment and able to free yourself from the chattering of the monkey mind is no mean feat.

@Stoory

I know it works. However it works no better than Hindu meditation because its basically repackaged hindu meditation, but unlike hindu it charges for its services which is why i label i as a money making scam. Where TM is deficient compared to Hinduism is in its philosophy, hinduism has developed a rich existential philosophy over its time that TM lacks. This is not a stereotype, it is my view based on what I've read.

TM relaxes the mind, and the mind then relaxes the body, hence TM has been shown in many independent studies to reduce high blood pressure, and to help avert the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes, plus it reduces addiction to drugs, including nicotine and alcohol.

@heheitsme23

Having practiced TM twice a day for 22 years I have to disagree with your stereo-typical views..

TM is the most well researched form of stress management technique available in the world. The Amercian Heart Association, and many other health-related organisations, fully endorse TM.

Google: "Scientific evidence that Transcendental Meditation works"

@TheCasanovvaa Wow it only has mental benefits??? So then it just isn't worth it! I mean if its only going to make your mind calmer so you can think more logically and make you mentally peaceful and happy..WHY BOTHER!!!! Sounds kinda silly doesn't it? Sorry but if you go into it thinking I shall cure cancer! Wrong way of thinking. If you go into it thinking I am clear minded and its helping me live a happier life then isn't that important

@TheCasanovvaa I'm taking notes, boss. Keep talking, you're changing my mind.... lol
