Claire Hoffman on Growing Up in a Transcendental Meditation Community | Full Podcast Interview

Author and journalist Claire Hoffman has been practicing Transcendental Meditation since she was 3 years old. When she was 5, she and her family moved to a secluded meditation community in Fairfield, Iowa -- Maharishi's national headquarters for Heaven and Earth. In her new memoir, "Greetings from Utopia Park: Surviving a Transcendent Childhood," Hoffman describes what it was like to grow up in a place where people aspired to follow all of Maharishi's principles, what happened after she began to question them, and how she feels about her spiritual upbringing now as an adult.

I learned TM in the 90’s, didn’t do it for quite few years. I have for the last few and it’s a very good and powerful practice. Also tried mindfulness but for me I enjoy the focus of a mantra.
I do understand the suspicion around TM with the cost and the organization. That discussion is separate from the effectiveness of the practice itself

The volume is way too low to hear the Lady's vocal fry and muffled speech. FYI the vocal fried manner of speech is at the top of posing, fake. disingenuous styles of faux speaking that exists. You loose all credibility.

Thanks for the feedback!

She sounded very credible to me. Give me vocal fry any day over people who end every sentence as if it’s a question
