0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Karma You podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, a hypnotologist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self.
0:19.7	Hello, hello. Thank you so much for listening today. I am
0:22.9	speaking to Bob Roth, who is a meditation teacher. He's meditation teacher to some pretty big
0:31.6	names that you might have heard of. He is a practitioner and a teacher of transcendental meditation.
0:39.1	So if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you'll know that I am a big proponent of TM. They don't pay me to
0:45.3	rave about it, but I've been doing it for a long time and I credit it with the thing that
0:49.3	has probably helped me the most on my journey to become a calmer person. Bob has taught and hung out with people
0:57.3	like Jen Aniston, Katie Perry, people like Cameron Diaz, Hugh Jackman. The list is ended up. Russell Brand.
1:05.7	He has, yeah, taught all these people to meditate, taught them TM. And you can find videos of him interviewing
1:11.3	these people about their experiences of TM because they have all, you know, spoken publicly
1:16.0	about how helpful TM has been for them. So Bob is a real expert in meditation. You know,
1:23.7	unfortunately, in this day and aid, a lot of meditation teachers have done a weekend course as part of their yoga training.
1:30.3	And meditation is such a deep and, you know, valuable practice that it really deserves more time.
1:37.3	Bob really knows his stuff about the scientific studies that have gone into meditation and why it works and how it works,
1:45.1	how it affects the brain. And so he explains the three types of meditation and how they impact
1:50.6	us in terms of the results and how it actually has an effect on our brain and our brain waves,
1:55.8	which is completely fascinating to me. He shows about how meditation can help with performance,
2:00.4	anxiety, even PTSD. And he gives
2:03.5	his advice to people who, perhaps like you, have been telling themselves, I can't meditate. I've tried
2:09.8	it. It didn't work for me. I couldn't get myself to clear my mind. He just shares how we can
2:15.4	overcome these barriers and how to make it easier for ourselves.
2:19.7	So I hope you enjoy this episode.
