You learn your mantra, it never leaves you, and it\u2019s the deepest rest your brain gets. For people that are so creative and have this kind of creative faucet that never turns off \u2013 it just continues and continues \u2013 it can be a little exhausting. And, you know, with the continual responsibility of having 127 people on the road, and always being the point person for everything, my subconscious is going even when I\u2019m sleeping. I\u2019m dreaming about whatever I\u2019m creating next, or relationships, or blah, blah, blah. So I\u2019m never really off. And meditation is actually the one time I get to really reset.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/news\/18-things-you-learn-following-katy-perry-around-20140805\" target=\"_blank\">[source]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Liv Tyler<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cAfter I did the first week of Transcendental Meditation where I did it twice a day, from that moment on I\u2019ve never been that frazzled ever again, or that tired ever again. It was like it sort of restored my body on such a deep level. There was like a week\u2019s worth of sleep. From that moment forward it was like a new day in a way. I felt like my whole nervous system reacted differently. I felt much less panicked and anxious and calm about things. But I also feel deeply centered and rested.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/Bhjq_s1Ekbw?t=1m14s\" target=\"_blank\">[source]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lykke Li<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI&#8217;ve tried a million ways to escape and expand, from psychedelics to psychics, yoga to benders, shamans, healers, therapists, lovers, you name it. When I met David the first time, I told him all my problems, and he then introduced me to TM. It has changed my life in so many ways. I am deeply in tune with my heart and core, and it&#8217;s made me a better writer, artist, and most of all woman. It&#8217;s made me more myself.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/features\/articles\/9392-lykke-li-better-off-alone\/\" target=\"_blank\">[source]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Ferreira<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI recently just started doing Transcendental Meditation with Bob Roth at the David Lynch foundation recently. I originally started it to help me with anxiety &#038; insomnia. It\u2019s already made my life waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better &#038; even with my stage fright. Which I used to think there was no cure for\u2026Last night was the first night I\u2019ve slept 8 hours naturally in my entire life. I felt the best I have in ages.

The simple act of making my brain shut off for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night may not seem like much, but what ends up happening, besides creating space in your day, is your awake posture begins to replicate your meditative posture.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimesmagazine.com\/2009\/10\/everyday-is-a-winding-road-sheryl-crow.html\" target=\"_blank\">[source]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tm.org\/blog\/people\/5-personal-perspectives-on-finding-inner-peace-from-5-female-performers\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry.jpg\" alt=\"Pinterest_KatyPerry\" width=\"794\" height=\"794\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12048\" style=\"display:none\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry.jpg 794w, https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry-712x712.jpg 712w, https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry-474x474.jpg 474w, https:\/\/usa.tm.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pinterest_KatyPerry-208x208.jpg 208w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 million people have learned the TM technique.
