The David Lynch Foundation was established to ensure that any child who wants to learn and practice the Transcendental Meditation program can do so. The TM program is the most thoroughly researched and widely practiced program in the world for developing the full creative potential of the brain and mind, improving health, reducing stress and improving academic outcomes.
Firstly, can I start by clarifying a common misconception that many people have about meditation. It is NOT a religion and involves NO change in lifestyle. It is a "technique" to provide emotional, social and physical tools to enable more creativity, less stress, greater academic achievements, greater determination and much more. It is a life skill that can be taken into the future.
David Lynch, apart from becoming an eminent Hollywood film director, has studied Transcendental Meditation since 1973. The Foundation has the immediate goal of teaching Transcendental Meditation to one million "at-risk youths". It has already provided more than 100,000 scholarships for students to learn to meditate, as well as inmates and guards in prisons, formerly homeless men in re-entry programs, soldiers with PTSD returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, American Indians suffering from diabetes and so many more!! I would be so grateful if you would just take a few moments to find out about this important work that is benefitting thousands of people from all walks of life. The health benefits are immense!

PLEASE watch the video to hear David Lynch and the KIDS THEMSELVES, talk about the benefits and RESULTS of TM. It's surprising how KEEN they are and even some of YOU may find it beneficial!!
--oOo--
To me, anything that can help to reduce the anxiety, stress, depression & anger that kids suffer at school, and that will help them to concentrate, study & learn; anything to help inmates to not re-offend; anything to help prison guards support those inmates; anything to help formerly homeless people to be worthy members of society; anything to help people deal with and control their diabetes and anything to help soldiers deal with PTSD and the HORROR of fighting in wars for ALL OF US, can only be an amazing, life changing practice to be taught to them, to help them with their FUTURE that they so deserve.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I am so enthusiastic and have such a vehement belief in Russell Brand's projects. I have seen the benefits that it does, and can bring, and ask you kindly for any donations to increase the provision of this life changing technique and to further contribute to ongoing University and medical school research. I would also ask anyone who would like to help people such as those mentioned above, to join us in our fundraising, to educate so many more people and to enhance their important lives. Thank you in advance everyone.
p.s PLEASE click onto my projects below and listen to the 2 minute video of what the school EDUCATORS themselves have to say. It is testimony to the benefits and results of TM, and how they wish it had been introduced into schools earlier!
Also, hear what the war veterans say about how TM has helped them with the traumatic events that they experienced at war and how they are overcoming their traumas.

Happy February, Dave! Thank you for your support, through your donations, votes, advocacy and friendliness. I got the end-of-year mailing from the David Lynch Foundation; I will come back to you this year and donate again!!
You probably know all about the amazing promos that CR runs. Right now, I think the most awesome is the chance to win an iPad 2. Every time you donate $26, you are entered to win.
Your $26 donation to a Reader to Reader project would help us send 2 boxes full of books to an under-resourced library here in the states, or support special education in the DR, or get a women's school built in Nigeria, or get books to families in transition... there are plenty of choices and who knows, you might get lucky!
Happy reading,
Kat
