Secrets from Maharishi AyurVeda® and modern science with Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D.
“Sleep is the nurse of all living beings.”
This wise precept is from Maharishi AyurVeda, one of the oldest traditions of natural medicine. “Today, over 5,000 years later, we are discovering just how true this is, as well as fascinating details about how sleep applies its magical healing balm to our brains, minds, and bodies each night,” says nationally recognized Ayurveda expert and best-selling author, Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D.
Dr. Lonsdorf, an Integrative Medicine Specialist and frequent speaker on national media, has incorporated Maharishi AyurVeda with her medical practice for over three decades. Her popular books include A Woman’s Best Medicine, Ageless Woman, and The Healthy Brain Solution for Women Over Forty: 7 Keys to Staying Sharp—On or Off Hormones, addressing the prevention and reversal of memory issues and cognitive decline. She received her M.D. from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and did her psychiatry residency at Stanford University.
In this engaging and informative presentation, Dr. Lonsdorf shares the most effective secrets from Maharishi AyurVeda and modern medicine for blissful, rejuvenating sleep; how to sleep to boost your memory; how sleep erases emotional stress; and much more. She gave this webinar, hosted by Maharishi International University (MIU), on November 14, 2020, as part of the National Coherence Campaign.

Did you know that February is Heart Health month?
Ayurveda recognizes two facets to heart health: physical and emotional. While a diet rich in fresh produce and fiber fuels the muscle of your heart, it’s equally important to stay rested, get plenty of exercise, manage your stress levels, and listen to your heart—literally! And when times get stressful, Ayurvedic botanicals like turmeric, ashwagandha, and arjuna can lend a helping hand.

Estelle with Bob Roth on Transcendental Meditation, Consciousness & Finding Calm
I loved chatting with Bob, getting the low down on the mechanics of Meditation direct from his kitchen in California! Bob is the worlds most famous Transcendental Meditation teacher. He has taught everyone from top athletes to Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry and Russell Brand and he is also CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, that has taken TM to more than 1 million students in 35 different countries around the globe.
Bob gets to the core of this subject, takes it out of hippy-dippy land and breaks down the Science of Meditation - What does meditation actually do to the brain waves? and how when we meditate regularly not only do we get access to our very own GENIUS LAB (and everyone has one of those by the way), but we also get to connect to a level of profound calm within ourselves that lies beneath all the anxiety, fear and mind chatter. And yes that profound calm is also within Each and Every One of Us - RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

MERU Progress and Update for 2020 |
These achievements and many more were the result of the efforts of our local Movement leaders and Teachers of Transcendental Meditation, under the guidance of the Rajas, Ministers, and senior administrators here at the International Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in MERU, Holland.
Maharishi wanted MERU to be the international centre of his knowledge and administrative headquarters for his Movement for generations to come. He created a masterplan of how he wanted the campus constructed and began to realize that by having the first 20 homes built for Rajas and other leaders at MERU.

How I went from a meditation skeptic to a true believer after 30 days
Until recently, I had decided that meditation just wasn't for me. Here's what ultimately changed my mind.
Jan. 22, 2021, By Josh Harmon
|
|
The difference between this practice and other forms of mindfulness or meditation is that TM is an independent, passive process. It is not guided by someone else who gives you suggestions about what to think; it’s entirely internal.
Transcendental Meditation is not about learning to do something that will your help your mind relax. It’s about learning to do nothing. In fact, teachers of TM often stress that the process should be absolutely effortless. Once you get into the right zone, it happens by itself.
I was intrigued enough to sign up, but also highly skeptical of something so simple.

Group tries to help health care workers find peace during COVID-19 chaos
by Caitlyn Penter January 18th, 2021

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Medical experts say health care workers are experiencing higher rates of burnout, exhaustion and even PTSD as they continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
One group is trying to change that.
“We found before the pandemic a year ago, found that half of physicians anyway were reporting significant levels of burnout," said Dr. Stuart Rothenberg, medical director of the Center for Health and Wellness. "Now, we have 75 to 80% reporting significant burnout,” said Stuart Rothenberg, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Health and Wellness.
Tom Ball said health care workers need a way to do destress.
“Our health care workers that are so overly stressed and overly taxed right now,” Tom Ball said.
He said the transcendental mediation technique is a way for them to find peace during the chaos.
