624: Transcendental Meditation and Consciousness with Tony Nader

Transcendental meditation is arguably the most popular meditation technique in the world, and the TM organization has funded the bulk of published literature on meditation worldwide. This is in no small part due to its celebrity clients like the Beatles, David Lynch, and Jerry Seinfeld, but also because people find the practice extremely practical and their long term adherence is much higher than to other techniques. Transcendental Meditation involves 20 minutes of mental repetition of a meaningless word, like “som” twice daily. And as simple as this sounds, for millions of people, this is life changing.
