Transcendental Meditation technique was developed by Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, who has trained more than 40,000 teachers and touched more than 5 million lives. He has also been a guru to the “Beatles” who met him in 1967.
By doing his practices, Russel feels connected to a boundless consciousness that has no relationship with his thoughts, fears or desires. His energies are better channelised and he is more at peace with himself.
