Meditation transforms roughest San Francisco schools

Easy to be a bit cynical about this stuff and I don’t get his films, but well done David.

Meditation transforms roughest San Francisco schools
www.sfgate.com
At first glance, Quiet Time – a stress reduction strategy used in several San Francisco middle and high schools, as well as in scattered schools around the Bay Area – looks like something out of the om-chanting 1960s. Twice daily, a gong sounds in the classroom and rowdy adolescents, who normally ca…

Jerry Seinfeld on TM ~ The Wall Street Journal

Guests were surprised when another lifelong meditator took the stage—a comic some of you may have heard of named Jerry Seinfeld—who apparently maintained his sanity during his hit show “Seinfeld” by meditating during his lunch hour.

“I was doing the TV series in which I was the star of the show, the executive producer of the show, the head writer, in charge of casting and editing, for 24 episodes on network television—not cable—for nine years!” he said. “And I’m just a normal guy. And that was not a normal situation to be in. So I meditated every day. And that’s how I survived the nine years.”

Being sort of funny probably helped, too.

Mr. Jackman revealed that he began meditating in drama school because a friend told him it would help him “be in the moment.  “I was like, ‘This is great! It will help me be a better actor!'” said Mr. Jackman. “And it did help my acting, but it wasn’t too long before I realized it was a lot deeper than just serving me as an actor. It was important for my life, and my anxieties, and how I felt about myself. Slowly, bit by bit, it just chipped away at the bulls—.”

Liv Tyler and meditation

Liv Tyler on the benefits of
Transcendental Meditation

“I grew up around a lot of people – friends, family – who were meditating. Meditation is an incredible way of centering myself, of calming myself, and really getting perspective on where I am. The best thing about Transcendental Meditation is that it’s such a personal thing. (…) I felt like reaching out and searching for ways to soothe myself and to help myself.

After I did the first week of Transcendental Meditation where I did it twice a day, from that moment on I’ve never been that frazzled or that tired ever again. It was like it sort of restored my body on such a deep level. There was like a week’s worth of sleep. From that moment forward it was like I knew day and way. My whole nervous system reacted differently. I feel much less panicked and anxious and more calm about things. But I also feel deeply centered and rested.”
