As a child growing up in a happy home, I had the extra good fortune of learning the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. This easy, natural mental procedure gave me access to the deep silence and inner fulfillment that was inside of me and just waiting to come out. This daily experience of TM has continued to affect my personal and professional life in many positive ways, effortlessly bringing forth my most creative ideas and life-supporting tendencies. This was of particular value during my years in law school. I had always been fascinated by the concept of justice and how it had evolved over time. However, the ideal of justice, something consistently fair, humane, and infallible, was not always evident in the court cases I studied. I found that despite our society's best intentions, laws are sometimes misused, overused, or applied to extremes. For example, negligence rules have been used by a child to sue his grandparents for damages after he accidentally slipped in their pool (Jahier v Jahier 2008 NY Slip Op 03593 [50 AD3d 966]) These kinds of imbalances in the justice system unsettled me during my school years. But whatever waves of confusion appeared in my mind on the surface, I was always brought back into balance by my twice daily, practice of Transcendental Meditation. After college, I wondered where I would find the ideal kind of legal work that would allow me to feel professionally and morally fulfilled at all times. Even public interest law wasn't enough to satisfy me. So instead, upon graduation, I joined the Legal Counsel office at Maharishi University of Management (MUM) in Fairfield, IA. At MUM all of the students, faculty and staff practice the Transcendental Meditation technique as part of their school day. I feel so fulfilled using my legal training to support a school that gives as much importance to self development as it does to factual learning and creative thinking. It is the only place that makes me feel good about absolutely everything I do as a lawyer. I feel that through my profession I am contributing something of real value. Not only that, but I enjoy my job so much, I'm excited about coming to work each and every day! I also enjoy being surrounded by the smartest and healthiest students on any university campus. The faces of the students shine with brightness and their behavior is filled with simple kindness and warm compassion. Daily group practice of TM gives them this important life advantage that other college students just don't get. I really would recommend MUM to any student interested in developing themselves from both inside and out, from top to bottom. Inner growth has long been missing from education and I am happy to be a part of its revival in our educational system today. I see many more happy years working at Maharishi University of Management and living in the small town where I reside with my family. As an attorney and a mother I am hopeful that more and more schools will incorporate the TM program into their curriculum and thereby make self development and enlightenment available to all of their students. In the meantime this idealistic lawyer has found herself the ideal job and home.
