My guest is Brian Levine, a certified teacher of Transcendental Meditation, with a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. Together, we explore fascinating topics such as the nature of consciousness, how our experience of life is created, and why transcending thought is essentially more powerful than thinking  We delve into the research on Transcendental Meditation, debunk myths about meditation and discuss how we can approach meditation to maximize its benefits together with other issues about mind, consciousness and thought.
