Common Good Vermont: Consciousness & Social Policy

Description

Dr. Edwards Smith is a western and AyruVedic doctor and leading practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (TM) as a practice for personal resilience and community well-being. Dr. Smith served in active duty with the U.S. Army Medical Corps, ran the Maharishi College of Vedic Medicine in Albuquerque, and is widely published on subjects ranging from pharmacology and rheumatology to Transcendental Medication. Based on his experience with war veterans and community indicators of well-being, he believes that TM and TM-Shidhi programs are human resource based technologies that offer immense potential for the health care system of any country.

We discuss his experience with Transcendental Meditation and how it can be used to address some of Vermont's most vexing public issues.
