Tyler Wilfley
recently joined our Sustainable Living Department and
is currently pursuing his MBA with MUM. He
was born in central illinois and graduated summa cum laude from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. Tyler has spent the last 4 years living in the Northern regions of rural Thailand where he has worked in and studied the field of international sustainable development. The last two years in particular, he led an effort in collaborating with local leaders to design and develop a community run vocational school that focused on sustainable agricultural techniques in hopes of promoting environmental stewardship and economic prosperity for small scale farmers in the area.
The last 4 years has provided him with a well rounded experience in project management, program development, and even enabled him to create extensive curriculum directed at educating locals and volunteers alike on the many principles and practical benefits of sustainable agriculture. Twice certified in permaculture design, Tyler plans on getting his pH. D in AgroEcology and creating his own business models based on perennial polyculture systems that restore ecological fitness while feeding a growing world.

‘Tis the season to be snacking! From Thanksgiving (or even Halloween) through Valentine’s Day, the holidays present an extended string of festive gatherings that center around food and drinks. While living it up with friends, family, and colleagues can be fun, it can also be a bit stressful — especially with travel, gift buying, hectic schedules, and easy access to rich and sugary foods.
“When there’s stress involved, our choices can become more reactive, rather than coming from a grounded place and connected to the self,” says Sankari Wegman, an Ayurvedic consultant at
The Raj
who also teaches Ayurvedic cooking classes. Moreover, Wegman tells us, it’s particularly easy to feel stressed during Vata season, which falls in autumn. “Vata by nature is light and airy, and it gets thrown out of balance when there’s any kind of irregularity.”
Click here
for Wegman's ten easy Ayurvedic lifestyle and diet tips to help combat holiday stress — whether you’re the host, the chef, or dining solo this season.

Recycling Flier
It has bothered me for years that there was no clear cut piece of information that covers all recycling options to city/county residents. So, I went and interviewed Connellys Recycling & Waste Management, worked with graphics genius Paul Siemsen, who donated his time, and Voila!! we came up with the attached flyer you can keep in a drawer or on your fridge. Please pass on to friends and colleagues.
You will be surprised, relieved, and possibly overjoyed at learning what can be recycled. Ed Malloy LOVES it and the City will be including this piece in future utility bills.
Please Note that Chem Thursdays ONLY take place between Mar-Sept so you can store those chems/paints/etc for now and take over in the Spring. Also NOTE that if you bring plastic bags for recycling, if they had funky stuff in them wash them out, let dry, then turn inside out and let dry again.
Finally NOTE again, and this cannot be over-emphasized: DO NOT place any food items in the curbside recycling bins. Oils and foodstuff then contaminate 60+% of that load … and it all goes to the landfill! This includes cooking oils/grease, etc.

Economical MAV appointments available December 4, 5, 6, and 7
The next opportunity to experience an Economical MAV wellness consultation is coming up quickly. Please call me at 641-472-7000, ext 3406 to schedule your appointment. These appointments happen once a month when a group of the online MSMAV (Master of Science in Maharishi Ayurveda) come to Fairfield for their clinical rotations with the faculty at MUM. The students provide MAV wellness consultations under the supervision of Dr. Manohar, Dr. Jim Davis, Dr. Paul Morehead, and sometimes others.
These appointments last about ninety minutes. The client's pulse is first taken by the faculty ( Dr. Manohar, Dr. Davis, Dr. Morehead, etc.), and then by the MSMAV students. After taking all the pulses, one or two students meet with individual clients to go over all their health history forms and any health concerns that they have. Each client case is presented in a confidential format to the faculty for discussion and review. Clients return at 4 PM to receive the prescribed recommendations for addressing their concerns in creating better health.
We would like to invite you to schedule an appointment with our wonderful students and faculty. The dates for our next clinicals are December 4, 5, 6, and 7. The fee is $75.00. Call me at 641-471-7000, ext 3406.
Best wishes for good health,
Helen Davis, Clinical Administrator

Ideal Energy’s solar-plus storage system for MUM is first large-scale installation of its kind in Iowa
Official Inauguration of the solar panel installation will take place on
Friday, December 14, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in Dalby Hall.
A detailed creative article on this innovative project written by
Bob Saar for The Hawk Eye
was published September 9, 2018.
Fairfield company Ideal Energy brings Iowa to national attention with new solar array installation at Maharishi University of Management.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
That Buddhist concept fits the solar energy business: The first mountain was long-term storage, but that has been alleviated with modern battery technology, paving the way for local, independent companies like Ideal Energy, Inc. in Fairfield, Iowa to enter the energy-supply business.
But that in turn led to another mountain: How will those smaller companies interconnect with utility giants like Alliant and MidAmerican Energy when they’re in competition with them for energy dollars?

Stressed at work? Transcendental meditation may help
By Maria Cohut, 23 October 2018
|
People who practice meditation often hail it as a fix for anything from anxiety to physical pain. Indeed, some studies suggest that it may improve our sense of well-being. Now, new research finds that one type of meditation — transcendental meditation — can relieve stress and boost emotional intelligence.
Transcendental meditation can help you feel less stressed and boost your emotional intelligence, a new study shows.
The practice of meditation does appear to bring many benefits, and recent studies have supported this idea.

Invest in Rest
By ADITI SHIRVASTAVA October 31, 18
|
Ringing phones, appointments, reminders, social calendars or day dreaming about a holiday taken years ago or trying to forget a casual comment made by a friend last week… our mind is busy with a whirlwind of things… every day, all day! ‘The human brain is the best blessing of the Creator,’ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation, once said in a lecture.
And, indeed, it is, for the human brain has crafted wonderful inventions: the smartest smartphone, the fastest jet and much more. But how many of us treat it like that, give it the value it deserves? We just slog it away, wanting it to work 24×7… this causes the brain to burn out and lose its potential.
