As Dr. Norman Rosenthal writes in href=”http://www.amazon.com/Transcendence-Healing-Transformation-Transcendental-Meditation/dp/1585429929/ref=sr_1_1%3Fie=UTF8%26qid=1384619721%26sr=8-1%26keywords=transcendence+healing+and+transformation+through+transcendental+meditation”>Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, “In my attempt not to miss out on anything — by being continually plugged in — I was in fact missing out on something very important: the art of being.” From Baby Boomers to Gen Y, the “need” to constantly refresh social media is erased, as meditation releases the obsession, so that in each precious twenty-minute session, I’m recharged, reset, and rebalanced. There is nothing as pure and inspiring as my evening meditation. And, with each session, the benefits expand upon one another, so that this ball of consciousness grows and grows, and I am continually evolving into my truest self.

Catching the Big Fish claims its title from this astute observation: “Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” Kind of like Finding Nemo, but more like Finding Myself because TM will help locate your essence as you dive deep for the pearls within you. Can you tell Diane that, too, Agent Cooper?
