Howard Stern and Transcendental Meditation
Raunchy radio star Howard Stern has -- believe it or not -- copped to being a
student of Transcendental Meditation for years. That doesn't explain why he
feels the need to run a mini-radio empire based on people who make bad
decisions in life. Still, every morning -- at 4 am -- and night he clears his
head and meditates. Stern credits the practice with helping him quit smoking
and achieve his goals in radio. He also announced on his Sirius show last week
that he will appear at Hollywood director David Lynch's "Change Begins Within"
concert at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday, April 4. Also appearing are Paul
McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eddie Vedder, Donovan, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper, Moby,
Bettye Lavette, Paul Horn and Jim James.
The event's goals are to "raise funds to teach one million at-risk children
to meditate -- giving them life-long tools to overcome stress and violence and
promote peace and success in their lives." The David Lynch Foundation advocates
meditation -- the TM Quiet Time program -- in schools as a means to increase
academic performance and attention span. To that end the foundation provides
scholarships for students in grades 6-12. From Associated Content:
David Lynch and other proponents of TM suggest that students who spend
15-20 meditating each morning experience better concentration in school, better
academic performance and lower incidences of depression and anxiety.
Despite Howard Stern's repeated self-proclamations that he is the "King of
All Media," he rarely makes live appearances in public outside of his radio
show. Stern stated that he originally considered declining Lynch's offer to
appear because of his discomfort about appearing in public, but changed his
mind because he believes in the cause so strongly. He also stated that
Transcendental Meditation helped to reduce his mother's symptoms of depression.

meditation scholarships can be found here.
