Transcendental Meditation - Naples & Fort Myers

11/11/2025

The TM technique is different from other forms of meditation. There’s no focus, no control, and no trying. You sit comfortably, eyes closed, and use a personalized sound (mantra) to effortlessly let the mind settle inward.

Most people notice results, like better sleep, less stress, and more energy within days.

from founding the iconic Twin Galaxies arcade and becoming the official referee of competitive video gaming, to reinventing himself as a musician.

He also will reflect on Transcendental Meditation's transformative role in his life after learning it in 1969. Day attributes much of his creativity and success to the deep states of pure consciousness he experiences through his daily TM and TM-Sidhi® practice, underscoring his lifelong commitment to personal growth and expanded awareness. Mr. Day became a TM teacher in 1970.

More about Day:
He's a pioneer in the world of competitive video gaming and a legendary figure in gaming history. In 1981, he established Twin Galaxies as both a video arcade and the first official organization dedicated to tracking and verifying video game world records. He quickly became the trusted authority for video game scores, earning him the role of assistant editor for Guinness World Records’ video game scores from 1984 to 1986.

He's been featured in numerous documentaries that chronicle the rise of gaming culture, including Icons (2002), Coin-Op TV (2007), Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2007), The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007), Frag (2008), The Video Craze (2013), Gamer Age (2014), The King of Arcades (2014), Nintendo Quest (2015), and Man vs Snake (2015), among others.

Paramedics worldwide have a higher prevalence of PTSD, anxiety, and depression than the general population.

Paramedicine students predominately enter the profession without preventative techniques to manage stress, depression and fatigue, so a study was undertaken to examine the effect of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on the well-being and resilience of paramedicine students.

Most people have trouble meditating because most aren't easy.

Transcendental Meditation is easy and peer-reviewed medical research shows it alleviates depression and anxiety, lowers blood pressure and reduces strokes and heart attacks -- and more.

It's the only meditation recommended by the American Heart Association.

She had "100%" reservations about learning Transcendental Meditation, despite it being recommended by a fellow doctor, but luckily her TM teacher put her mind at rest. It's so different from her world as a doctor but isn't "woo-woo."

Bob Roth was at the retreat at the Biltmore this weekend and he was amazing and witty. Numerous meditators spoke about how their lives were changed by his daily meditation calls and his book, "Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation." Their stories inspired many and brought tears to many people's eyes.

It was an incredible weekend and we hope Kiki Ellenby will organize another retreat at the Biltmore in Coral Gables next year and that Bob is the speaker. He was a huge draw for many -- along with the gorgeous hotel, fabulous vegetarian food and relaxing rounds of meditation and yoga.

"I love teaching people to meditate. Particularly the skeptics—the ones who say, “Meditation? I don’t believe in that stuff.” Or who tell me, “I’d love to meditate, but I could never do it because my mind is too busy—I could never clear my thoughts.” Or who think meditation is some sort of a generic thing, as in, “I meditate when I jog/listen to music/nap/paint.”

There are so many basic misunderstandings about meditation: that it’s difficult, or a religion, or an escape, or basically nothing at all.

When meditation is properly understood and practiced, none of these are true. It’s an incredibly simple, practical, effective tool to help the busiest, most cynical, most alpha-dog personalities gain a state of profound rest and relaxation that is, in many regards, deeper than sleep. Meditating 20 minutes, twice a day translates into a host of healthful benefits." - Bob Roth, Executive Director of the David Lynch Foundation, 40 year TM Teacher
