Each of the following movies has the same director:
The Bridge on the River Kwai,
Lawrence of Arabia, and
A Passage to India. His name is
David Lean. I saw the above mentioned movies years ago, only that I was a child or a teenager, so I watched them again these days. I was a bit curious about their director, and I was searching the web for his name. You might just want to do the same! Hats off to Sir
David Lean!
While typing "
David L" in order to continue with "
ean", "
ynch" was suggested. My mind went back in time to
Blue Velvet and
Twin Peaks. I've finished typing the initial name, then I've came back to the suggested one.
I was surprised to notice
Jerry Seinfeld's picture instead one of Lynch. I dug deeper, and I came over
David Lynch Foundation. I thought "
Why not?" and continued reading. From here it was just a step to
Transcendental Meditation (TM), a new search and
a new website. Never heard about TM before, so I was a bit curious about.
It is a simple, natural, effortless procedure practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It’s not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. It’s the most widely practiced, most researched, and most effective method of self-development.
Reading further in order to decipher more about this technique, I was surprised to see materials that look rather like TV commercials, than something practical. I just wanted a starting point in order to see if it fits me instead of saying how you will manage to levitate.
I read more about TM, but generally I ran over the same kind of information. So I've typed and searched for "transcedental meditation pros and cons". I'll mention here just two articles:
Western life style might be a stressful one, but is meditation the cure? I'll continue with my body relaxation technique by watching a movie, and I'll have my mind busy for a while after watching it. If the movie has the right message, my mind and soul will benefit from it. If not, I'll try to select a better movie next time! Then I'll have a good sleep!
PS In order to figure out about the quality of a movie prior to watch it, see what people say about it, both on
IMDb and
RottenTomatoes!
