You may have heard that the filmmaker David Lynch passed away last week at the age of 78, and while most of us know him for his iconic classics like Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, and Mulholland Drive, you might not know that he was also a huge meditator who credited a lot of his success and creativity to his daily meditation practice.

- Want to slow the aging process? Meditate.
- Want to get sick less frequently? Meditate.
You get the idea… And the best thing? Meditation is free!
