On March 31, 2012, the David Lynch Foundation held a forum, Healing and Empowering Women, at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Dr. Pamela Peeke, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland, spoke about her experience learning the Transcendental Meditation technique.
Question: What do you think about the Transcendental Meditation technique?
Answer: Most importantly, it’s a miracle. Because I can meditate. Now, I am a type AAAAA personality. I make Soledad look hypothyroid. I’m the best thing that ever happened to TM because if I can do it, anybody can do it.
Question: What made you decide to start meditating?
Answer: I’m a scientist. I’m a physician and a scientist. I’ve dedicated my life to good science, and this was just, wall to wall, the most profound science finally showing that there is a very strong connection between what happens in Transcendental Meditation, specifically, and a number of disorders that we all know—from depression to PTSD and ADD, and it just goes on and on.
