She will be the first to say that after having accomplished so many of the standard success markers for “happiness,” she still found herself in a space in her journey where she just didn’t feel happy. Her TM practice became a pivotal tool for her experience of fu...

How is it possible that in a day and age where connection is the most effortless it’s ever been, we can still feel so disconnected? So much so, in fact, the Surgeon General officially diagnosed loneliness as an epidemic in 2023. So, how is this possible and (more importantly) what do we do about it? Could it be as simple as a collective disconnect from the most pivotal relationship we have… the on...

How have some of the most brilliant minds in the world tapped into their creativity and is there a way to sustain access to it? We’ve all heard of the flow state – the most coveted expression of inner and outer alignment that comes in many different forms. It’s a form of creative intelligence that manifests through spontaneous right action, frictionless flow and the undeniably effective, creativel...

Everyone comes to TM  for different reasons and on a different journey. Some come for peak performance… others for mental health, spiritual evolution, stress management, etc. And every once in a while, someone comes along from an undeniably tumultuous path that not only benefits from the technique but also has the heartfelt desire to learn how to facilitate it for others based solely on the fact t...

This week we continue our dive into the powerful work that the David Lynch Foundation is doing with Kelly Malloy, Director of Heal the Healers Now initiative in New York City. Kelly Malloy learned TM as a child, and after rediscovering TM in college and completing teacher training in 2015, she moved to New York to teach with the David Lynch Foundation. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she pivoted to...

When it comes to our first responders, few of us truly understand the toll it can take on not only their physical health, but their mental health and quality of life as well.

Having been born into a family of first responders, the job seemed like second skin to him at first....

Beyond his career, Luke is a fun uncl...

Every experience changes our brain. This we know based on what science has shown us. It’s a river, not a rock, and this capacity for flow is what ultimately allows for integration. So how does deep inner silence experienced on a daily basis change your brain… for the better? And how does that impact and improve your life outside of meditation? Dive into this episode of The Inner Well to find out!...

We all carry an internal model of how the world works. We project that model outward, test it against reality, and update it when it doesn't fit. This is a constant, self-referral loop — moving from an inner assumption to an outer experiment and back again. Now, what if you could implement a consistent practice that keeps the bigger picture visible, reduces stress, and preserves your sense of spac...
