TM Talks: “Nourishing Our Innate Capacity for Healing”
Sun., Sep. 6, 5 pm ET (60 min)
| | |
Lila Wallace grew up in Fairfield, Iowa, and was among the first generation of students to grow up in the Maharishi School community. Today, she’s a licensed psychotherapist specializing in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions.
Ms. Wallace’s life beautifully bridges two worlds—a lifetime of developing consciousness through her TM practice and a professional career rooted in modern psychology. She discusses how those experiences have shaped her understanding of mental health, resilience, and the remarkable capacity of people to heal and grow. She’ll also reflect on what it was like growing up with her parents, Dr. Keith and Samantha Wallace, academic and community leaders whose lives inspired so many and whose example influenced her own journey of helping others.
| | Webinar: “Caring through the Lens of Ayurveda” | | |
On Wednesday, September 2, Maharishi Ayurveda USA President and CEO Ram Shrivastava and Chief Brand Officer Shannon Thompson welcomed Dr. Tony Nader for a live conversation on a deceptively simple question: What does it truly mean to care, and how do we care, through the lens of Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest and most comprehensive natural healthcare systems, originating in India’s ancient Vedic tradition and formally recognized by the World Health Organization. Beginning in the 1970s, Maharishi worked with leading Ayurvedic physicians to restore this knowledge, emphasizing the role of consciousness in health and longevity—the basis for what is known today as Maharishi AyurVeda®.

MIU Online Course: “Higher States of Consciousness”
Starts Sat., Sep. 12, 12 pm ET (1 hr 15 min)
| | |
In this inspiring online course from Maharishi International University (MIU), TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi describes how higher states of consciousness unfold in human life. His talks give special attention to Unity Consciousness, where one lives the wholeness of life in every part of individual existence—the totality of life in full enlightenment.
Maharishi explains the transformation of mind and body that upholds this development, the quality of subjective experience in each of the higher states, and the practical values of life in enlightenment. The course includes 16 recorded talks by Maharishi, plus 9 live Zoom sessions on Saturdays at 12 pm ET, with discussion and Q&A led by MIU Professor Gerry Geer.

Maharishi Video: “Bringing Individual Life in Alliance with the Cosmic Force of Evolution” (Part Two, 39 min)
Sat., Sep. 5, 4:40 ET
| | |
In the conclusion of this talk from June 27, 1971, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Maharishi elaborates on the nature and role of dharma, explaining that only when our awareness opens itself to unboundedness can our actions be more in tune with the force of evolution. When the link between individuality and cosmic life is lively, the total value of the individual is maintained in the direction of developing higher states of consciousness. With regular TM practice, whatever we do is for maximum progress and safety—the fundamental aspect of dharma.

| | Podcast: “The Conscious Thread: A Father-Daughter Story” | | |
In this week’s episode of The Inner Well, host Donielle Freeberg is joined by Greg Russo and his daughter Isabella, who share how Transcendental Meditation® helped them navigate very different personal challenges. They reflect on how it brought greater calm, self-awareness, and inner peace into their lives, and how Greg’s decision to lead by example gave Isabella the space to discover the value of the practice for herself.
Isabella, a high-achieving high school student, discusses her struggles with anxiety and body dysmorphia and how TM helped her develop a more grounded sense of self. Greg, who came to TM through his own challenges, talks about how his TM experience inspired him to introduce it to his daughter and how the shared journey has nourished their relationship.

| Maharishi’s Yoga, Volume I: The Royal Path to Enlightenment | | |
Dr. William Sands, Sanskrit scholar and professor of Maharishi Vedic Science® at MIU, explores Maharishi’s elucidation of Yoga as far more than physical exercise: a comprehensive science for developing the full potential of life and ultimately attaining enlightenment. Drawing on Maharishi’s extensive lectures, Dr. Sands presents both the theoretical foundations and practical benefits of Yoga for the individual and society.
The book examines various systems of Yoga and their relationship to the development of human potential and the four traditional goals of life: living in accord with natural law, achieving prosperity, fulfilling one’s desires, and attaining liberation. Written for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners, it offers deep insight into Maharishi’s revival of the ancient science of Yoga.
