“I learned TM in Newcastle many years ago and it changed me and my life in so many positive ways. Having a safe place to go ‘in my head’ when stress and madness surrounds is so re-assuring. I would recommend anyone to learn. There is a thriving community of meditators here in the North-East, but no pressure to engage. You can meditate on your own, or in a group: both are wonderful things to do.”

“Just to let you know I am keeping up with the TM practice.  Some days I only manage one 20 minute session but I have done it every day since my course in November in York.  I can feel the difference and don’t think I would have got through Christmas and the New Year without it.”

The effect of constant stress on a deep-lying region of the brain explains the increased risk of heart attack, a study in The Lancet suggests.

“Even with small children it’s easy to do. They sit on my lap with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on TV and I insert my earplugs then begin. Hopefully one day they will copy me and do the same but without earplugs or Ninja Turtles. It definitely keeps me calm whilst I daily fend off manic young children dressed as turtles with a plastic sword in each hand.”

“Morales, the Gage Park teacher, said, “As a teacher, I’ve seen a transformation of how we, how I, handle conflict in the classroom.”

Morales, 57, initially was skeptical of the meditation program, doubting that such a practice would make much difference at a school such as Gage Park. Morales said he thought program and school officials were “naive” to believe the program would resonate with students, and he said he expressed his reservations.

But slowly, Morales began to see the upside with students, and himself.”
