On March 31, 2012 the David Lynch Foundation held a forum - Healing and Empowering Women - at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in NYC. Pamela Peeke, M.D. - Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland - spoke about her experience learning about Transcendental Meditation.
Dr. Pamela Peeke: "It's a great honor to be here. I want to thank Bob Roth and the David Lynch Foundation for their extraordinary work to say the least. But most importantly it's a miracle. Because I can meditate. Now, I am a type AAAAAAA personality. I make Soledad look hypothyroid. I'm the best thing that ever happened to TM because if I can do it, anybody can do it. That became the joke back in Washington DC when my wonderful colleague Dr. Norman Rosenthal - a fellow scientist at the National Institutes of Health - and I had gotten together about three years ago and he told me he was writing another book and I said, "Gee another one on Seasonal Affective Disorder? Rock on, sounds really cool." And he said, "No, this is different it's called 'Transcendence.'" I said, "You've lost your mind. What are you doing?" and he said, "You have to try Transcendental Meditation," I said, "Really? I have to schedule breathing right now... stay still?"
So I thought that was it until about a year and some change ago when Norm circled back with the galley of his book. And as authors we usually exchange quotes, so he said, "Read the galley and give me a really juicey quote," and I said, "Alright." And then I cursed him because I couldn't put the galley down it was that good. Why? I'm a scientist. I'm a physician and a scientist, I've dedicated my life to good science and this was just wall to wall the most profound science finally showing that there is a very strong connection between what happens in Transcendental Meditation specifically and a number of disorders that we all know from depression to PTSD and ADD... it just goes on and on...."

Excellent validation of TM. But moreover, what a character! A thoroughly fascinating person to listen to. Rock on Baby, yourself!
Powerful! I am sending this to my friends to help convince them at the importance of TM in our lives. Thank you Dr. Pamela Peeke
I just recently had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Peeke speak at ISPA. She was incredible.
Love her! :)
I like the way she talks, its scientific and cute at the same time :), I could listen to her for hours.
Inspiring.
This is a great and I share this with my athletes daily.. great to see a study to show more people how to make there brain larger.
I don't want hear to from just celebrities. It would be nice to hear from regular people who's lives are crazy in a different way and how it's impacted them. I've been doin it for 5 months and it definitely is helping tho I don't quite know how. I just know I like to do it,
Have a look at our UA-cam channel - there are numerous videos with testimonials from students, veterans, refugees, doctors, and many others who have benefitted from the Transcendental Meditation technique.
DavidLynchFoundation Yes, I found great videos there, with people who are not famous or anything. :) It is worth checking out :)
just do it. TM is smart.
