A catalyst for change
by Roosevelt Treasurechest
Sound Slam Translate This Article
7 April 2008
On 7 April 2008 Sound Slam reported:
Prominent business leader and music industry executive Russell Simmons has put his personal stamp on popular culture. Now he is focusing his substantial influence to motivate and change the face of education by endorsing the practice of Transcendental Meditation in schools.
It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring
fulfilment to the field of education.
The article states, 'Russell Simmons has always been a catalyst for change.' Now he is motivating others to 'be their own catalysts for change'.
Simmons feels that funding education is of 'paramount importance' if you want to improve their lives and not leave children behind.
He was quoted as saying, 'My Transcendental Meditation practice has been very valuable to me in learning how to achieve focus. That same program, if put into these underperforming schools, would help young people focus and improve grades.'
A quiet time has been used by some schools as a period when they can practise their Transcendental Meditation.
This kind of programme can help the children focus, even those children who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
Schools that have used the Transcendental Meditation programme see a 'dramatic difference in the children', Mr Simmons stated.
Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total
Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
