Strength in Stillness with Bob Roth | Rich Roll Podcast

TM is the best and most helpful meditation I’ve done. I’ve been meditating or trying to meditate for years and the results I’ve felt in just one week of practicing TM is pretty unbelievable. I highly recommend this meditation to anyone looking to have more focus and clarity of thought, more energy spread throughout your day. Thank you Bob Roth ✨🙏

As a 76 y o PTSD vet, an active, very grateful OA / 12 step member , a car-free ( 4 7 yrs. !) bicyclist here in Hilo, I re-began my TM practice 1 month ago. I was initiated in SF in the mid seventies and have practicing on and off since. Now I vow, as I bow to Buddha, never to miss. Like Bob, I may, hopefully not, miss but it might happen. I am going to send a message to Terry Gross of Fresh Air fame at NPR to have both Bob Roth and David Lynchon her show. And I requesting from the Nat'l Library for the Blind, to acquire'Strength in Stillness' - Bob Roth - and 'Catching the Big Fish' (David Lynch) and Eckhart Tolle's 'Stillness Speaks'. WON*DER*FUL interview ! {Happy Thanksgiving I am fasting!}

Great interview. It's great to listen to a more in-depth discussion about TM with Bob Roth. Rich, thank you for asking great questions. They were very thoughtful and helped us all have a better understanding about TM and some of the science and background behind it.

Love this. Thank you for everything Rich!

Focused meditation makes me tired. Settling down into the deep quiet of my mind is just restful and rejuvenating. So easy. Give yourself this start and end to the day. I bet you’ll be sneaking opportunities for stillness during your day. ❤

Thank you Rich, this is such a cool and interesting conversation. Much appreciated.💚

Great IV, rich conversation. Thank you both of you ❤

I hear this over and again, that is should be "available to everyone," regardless of income. Very noble. Only, it's not. In the UK, they're asking £295 as a "concession," for those on unemployment benefit, known here as "Universal Credit." Trust me when I say, that unless they have the permitted amount of savings, that nobody receiving U.C. could spare as much as a tenner. So, are these people going to offer it free? I very much doubt it! Kerr-CHING! £$£$ 😉

Beautiful! Thanks for what you do, Rich.

Worth the time A wonderful inspiring talk.

Wonderful interview. 💜

Thank you!,

I truly enjoyed the information in this video. Long story short. My partner and I are both dedicated long time meditators. I practice insight/ Vipassana, my spouse is a 45 year practitioner of TM. In my experience, and observation I don't know that either is more, or less beneficial for our inner peace, insight, or deep stillness. What I have found most off putting regarding TM is that you have to pay to learn this form of practice, and receive your personal "mantra". That in, and of itself is a turn off for me.

9:50 ... Wow Thank you i needed to hear that

I took the TM classes a few years ago when I was going through a very anxious time in my life. It helped, but I dropped it when I felt I was past the acute period. I recently listened to Bob’s book and felt really inspired by his story and message. I have often wanted to give it another serious go, and I meditated tonight as I waited out a rainstorm in my car. Then I see this in my feed. Cool. I have been struggling with focusing on the positives in my life but continue to be so distracted and overwhelmed by the negatives. Then I feel guilty about not feeling more grateful. I’m hoping TM can help. An unrelated question: Rich, perhaps you can get Michael Pollan on your show. His new book on the benefits of psychodelics therapy sounds fascinating.

Wow. This was fascinating! Can’t wait to read his book.

Sooooo illuminating!

How do you keep track of the twenty minutes? Set an alarm? A soft alarm?

This is so good !!!!! Extremely helpful. I've gotta try TM

Nice podcast episode, Rich.
