Moby Discovers TM

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:56:03 +1000

Moby has a new thing ... Meditation.

Moby has spoken out about his newfound respect for meditation and said he wished he'd discovered it sooner.

The Go star admitted that she shunned anything to do with yoga and meditation for years because he was raised by hippies and the whole idea of it "scared the s**t" out of him.

He said: "I thought that TM involved ritual animal sacrifice and moving to some country and renouncing wealth and materialism."

But he said that when he heard that one of his heroes, director David Lynch, was one of the world's leading practitioners of transcendental meditation, he decided to give it a go.

He added: "One of the things that impressed me so much about TM when I finally learned it was it's simplicity. It's a simple practice that calms the mind... and the thing that won me over about TM, apart from having my hero David Lynch as its vocal practitioner, was its effectiveness.

"Nothing else helped me quiet my mind and go to a calm, centred place. The thing that makes it effective is you don't have to do all that much, and, as a profoundly lazy person, I appreciate that."
