David Lynch Instagram – 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.”
