I’ve always wanted to create positive change, but always felt what I was doing wasn’t enough. Sure, I worked with non-profits to protect wildlife and volunteered with Americorps as an education assistant for emergency preparedness, but I always felt empty inside. I guess that was because I was working in the transitory relative. I gave people facts and info. but I wasn’t changing their life on a deeper level. For instance I can tell someone they need 1 gallon of water per day for minimum of 3 days in case of disaster. Whether or not they do this is up to them. What value does this tip have? It has relative value. It doesn’t change their perception of themselves. They don’t feel they learned something more about themselves. They learned a tip on how much water they need to stay alive during a disaster. This is very important info, but I want to strengthen the emotional & spiritual side of a person.

This is what I’ve found I'm able to do working at Maharishi Ayurveda Products International where I help manage their Twitter account. I’m providing people with tips and deep knowledge that helps people understand themselves. It’s up to each person if they want to follow the health tips, but with those who do, I’m creating positive, permanent change.
 
_The whole universe is set on a track of growth. Whether someone recognizes this or not, doesn't matter because they are moving forward too. Being in sync with this growth does make life easier :)

Growth is through not only knowledge of the universe and your connection to it, but the experience of your connection to the universe. As Oprah states as her experience below in the first video. It is "being connected to that which is greater than yourself.."

This experience is not something new age, or a fad, or complicated. It is a simple technique known as Maharishi Transcendental Meditation. It is based on hard science, i.e. EEG measurements. In the 2nd video Dr. Fred Travis explains this.

Also, because of the countless benefits of practicing this technique, it is currently done in numerous public schools across the country as well as by veterans who are suffering from PTSD. All this public outreach is thanks to the David Lynch Foundation.
