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.

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.

In 2010, Day stepped away from the gaming world to pursue a new passion: music. His artistic journey is captured in the recent documentary Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day.

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."
