Over the past couple of years the foundation has taught almost 100,000 children to meditate, in 30 countries, in North and South America, in Europe and Africa and Asia, and in the Middle East. If we can get this to 1,000,000 kids, it'll be huge. I'm a meditator. My children are meditators. It's changed their lives, and I want to give this gift, that I've given my children, to all kids. It is, it's a life long gift, you know, it's something that you can, um, call on, at any time. Now it's actually coming into the main stream. We think it's a great thing. And so thank you, David, for putting it together. The proof is in. Transcendental Meditation naturally unfolds any students full potential. Now that thousands of children are already receiving it, and they are raising their self-esteem, they're improving their well-being, and they're turning around the most troubles schools. And these kids, they're 11 and 12 and 13, from the inner cities, experiencing quiet and expressing that they're less angry. They're getting so much more out of life, in a very, very difficult situation....is proof in the pudding. The David Lynch Foundation's goal to teach a million children meditation, that'll be like a million steps in the direction of world peace. One of the things that impressed me so much about TM when I finally learned it was it's simplicity. You know, no other meditation, no other practice I tried was as effective at quieting my mind and helping me to go to a very calm, centered place. We have found that through TM, over the past 13 years, our children are more focused on their work, they're more patient with the learning experience, and they're more reflective about their behavior. Our top priority should be preventing mental health problems in children and teenagers, because it doing so we prevent life-long problems. And TM can be an important tool in prevention. We know that, that meditating kids are more flexible, they show better emotional regulation, improved self control, better self-esteem... The cardiovascular disease process begins in childhood. And childhood risk factors, for example high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes, which are epidemics in children today, track into later adulthood. And Maharishi revived an ancient technique, called Transcendental Meditation, that gives effortless transcending. That's why everybody you've heard say it's very easy to do. A ten year old child can do it. But it's supremely profound. The Transcendental Meditation program is certainly the most widely practiced, extensively researched, and broadly prescribed by doctors, of any technique in the world, to reduce stress and to promote health and optimal brain functioning.
