Consciousness & Creativity - 4 mins
David Lynch, Filmmaker

Dive within

" The Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, effortless way to dive within, to experience an ocean of pure consciousness, pure creativity, pure knowingness. It's a unique experience but also very familiar - it is your own Self."

- David Lynch, filmmaker and chair of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace

Developing a creative brain

Your brain did not come fully assembled at birth. Through the natural processes of maturation and experience, your brain is being created anew at every moment, to support all your thinking, deciding and behaviour. The on-going creation of your brain is a dynamic process.

The experience of restful alertness during Transcendental Meditation creates the optimum condition to unfold your full potential, for maximum intelligence and creativity in a completely effortless way, while preventing the damaging effects of stress on the brain.

Increased creativity

Individuals who learned Transcendental Meditation showed increased creativity in comparison to controls as measured by a higher level of pictorial originality when measured after five months of practice. They also showed increased creativity as measured by higher levels of pictorial flexibility and verbal fluency (not charted).
