Title: Russell Brand talks about Transcendental Meditation at Operation Warrior Wellness launch
Added: Mar 3, 2011
Author: DavidLynchFoundation
Duration: 6:44
Description:
http://davidlynchfoundation.org/ Comedian Russell Brand talks about how he is "very grateful to be involved" with the launch of David Lynch Foundation's Operation Warrior Wellness, which offers the Transcendental Meditation technique to veterans suffering with PTSD. He discusses his own experience with TM and how it offered him "access to a deeper state of happiness" and made his "tendency towards selfishness exposed as a superficial and pointless perspective to have." He also explains how it helped him recover from his drug addiction, saying, "my recovery is contingent upon a spiritual component." He goes on to voice his support of TM as something that can not only benefit veterans but all human beings: "This technique is applicable to all human beings in all situations, no matter how extreme, trivial or mundane, everyone can draw from it."

Dec 11, 2011 - it like anything is like driving a car...i can drive a car..i dont have a license...i can do handbreak turns not useful but had to add that...the point is...if i go to an instructor..i will learn to drive safely..if i rely on my friends...i'd lnow how to drive like a stunt women and get no assurance, quality or safety out of what i was doing..i'd prob enjoy it less as there are rules......lol...but my point being....anyone can take short cuts, but its not the destination it is the journey...

Dec 11, 2011 - this is a life skill you would learn...for your self...it is not a day out...it is much like learning an insturment..it takes time, concentration and a teacher..you have to remember your going in to yourself..its not to be taken lightly...it is to be taken correctly..a life skill is worth soo much more than a hand shake, pat on the back it goes soo much deeper..everyone wants a quick fix

Dec 11, 2011 - russell would suit davids new movie yes....but he would be soo much more suited to playing sherlock holmes...dont you think...and realy....he doesnt have to sell his whole self to get what he wants...he realy believes in this as it has aided him enormously.thats all...tho off the wall he has done many documentarys of him exploring his own consiousness u may think from all the wrong sides of life..not for him yet this is one that seems to level him out..its good..do it if you can

Dec 11, 2011 - hopefuly you claim to be yourself.....no one has sold me anything..tho i am suprised of the paranoia considering the political climate we live in where reading food labelling can be more physically toxic and mentaly baffling than a mantra you are free to choose for or against any second of the day?
rhu8ar8 Says:
Dec 11, 2011 - let alone drinking water...atleast you can start and stop as you feel no one controls how focused or confused you may feel and the benefits or not are totally in only your control....eating food/drinking water is more in monetry control than you own..
rhu8ar8 Says:
Dec 11, 2011 - it aint..its just another way to heal...some use counselling..to put words into how they feel....some cant do that....words are just words without feeling for some people...being in a place with others also being can have a real cathartic place a sense of being counselled without words....alot of artists need this as regular people may need a counsellor its just another expression of letting go...

Dec 11, 2011 - just my cup o' tea he's a good boy,little naughty round those cliff hanger edges,yet im sure.he is layer on layer of lovely soft+cuddly stuff..all he wants is love !! (on every level it ever existed lol) we all want that !! he's just more aware of it than us !! he's just off the rictor scale trying to experience all the levels of it.to know you have loved+have been loved on many a level, in many different senses by the time you pass thats the idea,surely,thats life x

Jan 12, 2012 - There are always ways to get financial help to learn Transcendental Meditation. That is one of the main reasons David Lynch Foundation was established - to bring TM to those who need it but can't afford it. There are a lot of reasons TM costs. Please visit tm.org for more info on this.

Part of the reason David Lynch Foundation was established was to bring TM to those who need it but can't afford it. Financial help can always be arranged for those who really want to learn.

Jan 19, 2012 - My family and I received partial scholarships for all of us from the David Lynch Foundation. If you make an intention that it will be easy for you to acquire this, you might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Don't give up! There is a TM teacher in Vegas that works on a sliding scale as well. She is awesome!

Jan 19, 2012 - I love Russell Brand-- and not in a lustful, sexual kind of attraction either (although he IS beautiful, no lie). I can't really explain it... it's like a really intense feeling of admiration washes over me every time I listen to him-- admiration for the incredible, beautifully flawed human being that he is. And remarkably, some how loving him makes me love humanity as a whole even more.
