• Robert Schneider: Mind Over DNA: Transforming DNA from the Inside Out (18 min)
  Dr. Schneider explains why TIME magazine says that your DNA is NOT your destiny. Giving a new angle on epigenetics, he explains why and how you can use consciousness, what, and how you think, as well as lifestyle choices, such as exercise, diet, supplements, and stress management, to improve your genetic makeup. He traces the historical development of modern medicine from the surface levels of surgery, to the finest levels of modern genomic medicine, and introduces the concept of quantum medicine and the role of the Transcendental Meditation technique in epigenetics.

• Mindfulness And Transcendental Meditation: Why These Practices Are Having A Moment
  Diane Rehm Show, May 17, 2016 Transcendental Meditation is a practice that has its roots in Hinduism. Mindfulness traces back to Buddhist awareness techniques. Today in America, these forms of meditation seem to be everywhere from schools to businesses to the military. Whether it’s to treat a serious medical condition, help deal with depression, or simply find peace in the craziness of life, Americans are increasingly turning to meditation for answers. Diane and her panel of guests discuss how these practices work, their roots in Asian religion, and what science tells us about how they could impact our health. Guests Dr. Norman Rosenthal author, "Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation"; clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine; the first psychiatrist to describe and diagnose SAD, seasonal affective disorder.
