Meditate Like The Beatles
According to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two remaining members of the Beatles, Transcedental Meditation helped stabilize their band. (Read more about it here.) They will be performing at a concert on Saturday to raise funds for the David Lynch Foundation, an organization dedicated to educating children meditation techniques in school.
This newsstory rocks. It combines my favorite musicians with one of my favorite film directors, and they are both dedicated to a spiritual practice that has become inseparable from my everyday existence.
Though my influence is not as far-reaching as The Beatles or David Lynch, I have become an unofficial PR for meditation among my limited circle of friends. Having started meditation about a year go, I now can't imagine going through the day without meditating at least once or twice for twenty minutes at a time.
I fully support the efforts of The Beatles and the David Lynch Foundation. The idea of thousands upon thousands of school children closing their eyes and listening to the silence within them gives me tremendous hope. Considering that the next generation will grow up in an even faster and more complicated world than the one we are living in now, meditation at an early age seems less a proposal and more a necessity to simply keep one's sanity intact.
I can't imagine a better panacea to the evils of the world than an entire global community focusing on the silence of their own inner peace. The battle is won one young mind at a time, one Beatles concert at a time.
