Happy Birthday to you, David Lynch, our wise founder and beloved friend! We’re so fortunate to draw our guidance and inspiration from your integrity, creativity, and dedication to truth. And it was such a thrill to see you on the movie screen again recently! You deserve an Oscar! Your passion and incredible work ethic drives our Foundation forward, as we focus in the year ahead on both the local and national levels: teaching as many people to meditate as possible and working to make meditation part of everyone’s healthcare coverage. Thank you David, and here’s to another healthy, productive, and blissful year! Photo: Steve Appleford for @floodmagazine last year
David Lynch discusses consciousness and meditation in this clip from his September 2005 talk at Emerson College in Boston, MA. That year, David shared his message of “Exploring the Frontiers of Consciousness, Creativity, and the Brain” at colleges and universities across the US. His talks received a hugely enthusiastic reception and launched the David Lynch Foundation in America and worldwide! Today, we celebrate the 18th anniversary of the DLF, founded on July 21, 2005, by appreciating the millions of lives we’ve impacted through the healing effects of TM! Please join in supporting our work to provide TM to the adults and children most in need, at the Donate link in our bio. #davidlynch #davidlynchfoundation #consciousness #creativity #brain #mind #meditation #TM #TranscendentalMeditation #DLF #2005 #changebeginswithin

Long-time DLF supporter and friend Rick Rubin has written a deeply thoughtful book about creativity, art, and transcending the mind. “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” has something for everyone, from music fans and artists, to meditators, to any critical thinkers. We encourage you to pick up a copy at the link in our bio. Rick has been practicing and advocating Transcendental Meditation for decades. Here’s what he recently shared about his TM practice: “I started with #TM and that’s probably the meditation that I’ve done the most in my life, and I come back to, although I’ve tried many different kinds. I learned TM when I was 14. I meditated for 5 or 6 years, and then I stopped when I went to school – to university – and then I started again several years later. And when I started again, I realized how profound it was, in me, that I had done it, when I did it. For me typically, I would wake up, it’d be the first thing I would do, during that sort of in-between time, maybe go out in the sun, close my eyes, and meditate, before starting my day. And time passes, you loose track of time. It’s like going to sleep and waking up: you don’t feel like that was 8 hours. Time stops. Not always, but when it does, it’s a great feeling. There’s no good or bad version. It really is just: If you learn a technique, and show up and do it, it works.” @rickrubin #creativity #art #being #meditation #TM #TranscendentalMeditation

“Maybe enlightenment is far away, but it’s said that when you walk toward the light, with every step, things get brighter. Every day, for me, gets better and better. And I believe that enlivening unity in the world will bring peace on earth. So I say: Peace to all of you.” – David Lynch Happy Birthday, David! #daily #quote #inspo #davidlynch #enlightenment #light #unity #peace #meditation #TM #TranscendentalMeditation

“People try to get away from it all—to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful—more free of interruptions—than your own soul. An instant’s recollection and there it is: complete tranquility. … But keep it brief and basic. A quick visit should be enough to ward off all anxiety and send you back ready to face what awaits you.” – Marcus Aurelius #daily #quote #inspo #marcusaurelius #changebeginswithin #within #inner #TM #meditations
