In this enlightening podcast episode, I engage in a profound conversation with Professor Norman Rosenthal, a renowned psychiatrist and author, known for his groundbreaking work in diagnosing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and exploring the therapeutic use of light. Join us as we delve into the intersection of psychiatry, personal narrative, and unconventional therapies that have the power to transform lives. What You'll Learn: Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder: Professor Rosenthal reflects on his time at the National Institute of Mental Health, where he led research that culminated in defining and describing SAD. Initially met with scepticism, his work with light therapy to treat SAD was a revolutionary concept that gained widespread acceptance after successful replication across the globe. This therapy isn't just for SAD but has diverse applications, such as adjusting to new time zones during international travel. The Concept of Adversity: Another significant topic in this episode is Rosenthal's perspective on adversity, inspired by his book "The Gift of Adversity." He explores how challenges can serve as critical opportunities for personal growth. Paul’s mention of stoic philosophers like Seneca and Epictetus aligns with Rosenthal’s ideas, emphasizing that overcoming adversity is not only about surviving but also about gleaning insight and growth from the experience. The Power of Positive Contributions: Rosenthal speaks fondly of his contributions to psychiatry through his studies on light and SAD, recounting the inspiring moments when he realized he was on the cusp of a major discovery. The conversation highlights the profound satisfaction derived from scientific exploration and the impact it continues to have on improving mental health treatment. Alternative Therapies and the Poetry Connection: In his diverse therapeutic practices, Rosenthal incorporates unconventional methods, including poetry, as tools for emotional and psychological healing. His book "Poetry Rx" exemplifies how literary arts can resonate with individuals facing emotional difficulties, offering insights and comfort through the beauty of words. Emotional Well-being Through Curiosity and Engagement: Curiosity, according to Rosenthal, plays a pivotal role in maintaining good mental health. It's linked to the psychological trait of hardiness and helps in overcoming adversity. By encouraging curiosity, individuals can approach life's challenges with a more investigative and resilient mindset. Meditation and Transcendental Exploration: Rosenthal also dedicates time to exploring consciousness through transcendental meditation, believing that mindfulness can profoundly affect one's perception and quality of life. His books on the subject reflect an ongoing exploration of the mind's potential to transcend conventional boundaries. Key Takeaways: Seasonal Affective Disorder and Light Therapy: Understand how bright light became a recognized treatment for SAD and how it can improve various aspects of well-being. Adversity as a Teacher: Learn how personal trials can lead to profound personal growth and resilience. Integrative Therapies: Discover how poetry, philosophy, and meditation contribute to emotional healing and mental health. Curiosity as a Trait: See why maintaining a curious and engaged outlook is vital for mental well-being.

Anti-ageism activist Ashton Applewhite discusses how ageism shapes our lives and explains why embracing aging—not fighting it—can lead to a fuller, more meaningful life.

As fall and winter come to some parts of the world, daylight hours grow shorter. This lack of light can cause seasonal depression. 随着秋季和冬季的到来，世界上一些地区的白天时间变得越来越短。光照不足会导致季节性抑郁症。 “It (is) a feeling of panic, fear, anxiety and dread all in one,” said Germaine Pataki. The 63-year-old woman living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, is among the millions of people estimated to have seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. “这是一种恐慌、恐惧、焦虑和恐惧的感觉，”杰梅因·帕塔基说。这位居住在加拿大萨斯喀彻温省萨斯卡通的 63 岁女性是估计患有季节性情感障碍 (SAD) 的数百万人之一。 To deal with her condition, Pataki uses yoga, walking, and an antidepressant medication. She is also part of a Facebook group for people with SAD and helps others deal with the condition. Pataki said, “This gives me purpose.” 为了应对自己的病情，帕塔基使用瑜伽、步行和抗抑郁药物。她还是 Facebook 社交情感障碍患者小组的成员，并帮助其他人应对这种情况。帕塔基说：“这给了我目标。” People with SAD usually have depression that begins in the fall and eases in the spring or summer. Changing the clocks back to standard time, which happens in autumn in the United States, can also cause SAD to start. 患有季节性情感障碍的人通常会在秋季开始抑郁，并在春季或夏季缓解。将时钟改回标准时间（在美国发生在秋季）也可能导致 SAD 启动。Medical experts say there is a milder form, called subsyndromal SAD. There is also summer seasonal depression but less is known about that. 医学专家表示，还有一种较温和的形式，称为亚综合征型季节性情感障碍 (SAD)。还有夏季季节性抑郁症，但人们对此知之甚少。 In 1984, a team led by Dr. Norman Rosenthal, then a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, first described SAD. He invented the term. 1984年，由时任美国国立卫生研究院研究员的诺曼·罗森塔尔博士领导的研究小组首次描述了季节性情感障碍（SAD）。他发明了这个词。Scientists are still learning the causes of seasonal affective disorder. They have found that specialized cells in our eyes turn the blue wavelength of the light into neural, or brain signals. These signals affect mood and wakefulness, or alertness. 科学家们仍在研究季节性情感障碍的原因。他们发现我们眼睛中的特殊细胞将蓝色波长的光转化为神经或大脑信号。这些信号会影响情绪和清醒度或警觉性。 Sunlight has a lot of blue light. So, when the cells sense this blue light, the alertness centers of our brains turn on. We feel more alert and possibly even happier. 阳光中含有大量蓝光。因此，当细胞感受到这种蓝光时，我们大脑的警觉中枢就会开启。我们感到更加警觉，甚至可能更加快乐。 Kathryn Roecklein is a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. She tested people with and without SAD to see how their eyes reacted to blue light. As a group, people with SAD were less sensitive to blue light than others, especially during winter months. That suggests a cause for wintertime depression. 凯瑟琳·罗克林 (Kathryn Roecklein) 是匹兹堡大学的研究员。她测试了患有和未患有悲伤症的人，看看他们的眼睛对蓝光有何反应。作为一个群体，患有季节性情感障碍的人对蓝光的敏感度低于其他人，尤其是在冬季。这表明冬季抑郁症的一个原因。 “In the winter, when the light levels drop, that, combined with a lower sensitivity, might be too low for healthy functioning, leading to depression,” Roecklein said. “在冬天，当光照水平下降时，再加上敏感度较低，可能对健康功能来说太低，从而导致抑郁症，”罗克莱因说。 Miriam Cherry is 50 years old and lives in New York state. She spent the summer planning how she would deal with her winter depression. “It's like clockwork,” Cherry said. “The sunlight is low. The day ends at 4:45, and suddenly my mood is horrible.” Miriam Cherry 50 岁，住在纽约州。她整个夏天都在计划如何应对冬季的抑郁症。“这就像发条一样，”切里说。“阳光很低。这一天在 4 点 45 分结束，突然我的心情很糟糕。”

Do you feel really down or unmotivated to work in particular months? This is something millions of people worldwide experience, which is called Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. We have Dr. Norman Rosenthal on the show today, the person who named this condition. Dr. Norman discusses his decades of research on SAD, how he discovered light therapy as an effective treatment for SAD and more.   In this episode, we talk about: Dr. Norman's book about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) SAD and its treatment with light therapy Symptoms of SAD, like bad mood and low energy  Ways to maximise the usage of light boxes at home or anywhere to improve mood Importance of getting enough sleep when dealing with SAD An example of how light therapy helped one of his patients feel much better    Memorable Quotes “SAD is one of those conditions that you could easily miss if you're not aware of it. You've got August, September; people are doing well, and then gradually, they begin to lose their functioning. They're slower, they're sleeping more, and they're eating more. And it doesn't just announce itself one day; it's a gentle transition into what can end up being a very disabling condition.” “When I say suffering, you may be slacking off on your job… If you're an actress, you may not generate the kind of buzz needed to galvanise the audience. Whatever it is, you're probably not going to do it well because it takes some kind of interpersonal pizzazz to get people engaged, and it's very hard to muster when you have SAD.”   BIO: Norman E.

There's a funny meme I see floating around the internet that says, "I'm sorry for the things I said when it was winter."   It's a joke, but as always, there's truth in humor – and the reality is that winter REALLY does affect our mood (and how we react to others) at a scientific level.   This is due to something called "seasonal affective disorder," or SAD, and it has everything to do with the amount of sunlight we're getting and how it affects our brains. It can even show up as major depression. And in today's episode, I'm interviewing the scientist who discovered this phenomenon himself, Dr. Norman Rosenthal.   Dr. Rosenthal is a fascinating man who loves everything from science to poetry and how people can experience greater well-being. He is passionate about, quite literally, bringing more light to this world, and he shares the creative and scientific process of how he and his colleagues discovered SAD, how they tested light therapy for SAD, who SAD affects the most, and some steps we can all take to make it through the winter.   Listen to discover: His story of discovering seasonal affective disorder What SAD actually is and how it works The genetic and hormonal roots of SAD The difference between the winter blues and SAD The benefits of light therapy Surprising healing tools like poetry and Botox Rosenthal's latest work with poetry for healing As we spring forward and April is around the corner, I'm beginning to feel a sense of hope and reawakening, but we're not out of the woods yet. SAD is still affecting our friends in the Southern Hemisphere, in places that get a lot of rain like Seattle and England, and any of us who don't spend enough time getting out in the light. So, here's your reason to get up from your desk and take a walk around the block on the next sunny day – maybe with a book of poetry in hand. "Where previously you'd only seen light as a vehicle for vision, now you see it as a vehicle for well-being."  - Dr. Norman Rosenthal   "It's genetic, it's hormonal and it's environmental." - Dr. Norman Rosenthal   "SAD is actually a form of major depression." - Dr. Norman Rosenthal   “I'm a great believer in training yourself to realize when you're getting enough light.” - Dr. Norman Rosenthal   “I don't think a lot of people understand that this is what happens to so many of us [in the winter months].” - Michelle Chalfant   “When you really sit and listen or when you're reading [poetry], it just speaks to our soul.”  - Michelle Chalfant   "As a human, we get to experience everything from love to fear and everything in between. They're rich, beautiful emotions – every single one of them." - Michelle Chalfant   LINKS & RESOURCES  “Poetry Rx”  (Dr. Norman Rosenthal book) https://www.amazon.com/Poetry-Rx-Inspiring-Poems-Bring/dp/172250546X   “Winter Blues” (Dr. Norman Rosenthal book) https://www.amazon.com/Winter-Blues-Fourth-Everything-Affective/dp/1609181859   Verilux HappyLight https://verilux.com/collections/happylight-therapy-lamps-boxes   Carex Day-Light https://carex.com/products/carex-day-light-classic-plus-light-therapy-sun-lamp   MORE ADULT CHAIR The Adult Chair® Website https://theadultchair.com    The Adult Chair® Membership https://theadultchair.com/membership/   The Adult Chair® Workshop https://theadultchair.com/events/   The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification https://theadultchair.com/certification     STAY CONNECTED Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelle.chalfant   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfantCo/   The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

He immigrated to the US and did his psychiatric residency at Columbia in NYC before going to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, where he began his research career in earnest. His first major research contribution was to describe and name Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and to develop light therapy as a treatment for this novel condition. SAD – and its milder variant, the Winter Blues – are now known to affect millions of people worldwide, many of whom have benefited from the light therapy that Dr. Rosenthal pioneered.

The musical concerts mentioned at the end of the interview can be explored through this link. Below are two examples of concerts and Sir Norman Rosenthal's biography is beneath that. Norman Rosenthal was born in Cambridge, UK, in 1944, the son of Paul Rosenthal and Kaethe Zucker, who came to England in 1941 and 1939 respectively. He was educated at Westminster City Grammar School and the University of Leicester, where he graduated in 1966 with a degree in history. He undertook postgraduate studies at the School of Slavonic and Eastern Studies, as well as the Free University of Berlin. Norman Rosenthal organised his first exhibition in 1965 Artists in Cornwall at the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in connection with the University Arts Festival. Since that time his professional career took him to Thomas Agnew & Sons, the well known firm of London art dealers, as librarian and researcher from 1966 – 1970; Brighton Museum and Art Gallery as exhibition officer from 1970 – 1971; Artist's Market, a non-profit making gallery in Covent Garden, as organiser; from 1973 to 1976 director of European art exhibitions at The Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, responsible for two festivals, one in 1974 devoted to contemporary German culture, which inter alia brought Joseph Beuys to London for the first time, where he made his famous blackboard environment Richtkräfte, now belonging to the Nationalgalerie Berlin. The other, in 1975, was devoted to contemporary Greek culture, which brought inter alia Jannis Kounellis to London. From 1977 –December 2007 Norman Rosenthal was Exhibitions Secretary of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, where he enabled and organised all loan exhibitions, including Robert Motherwell 1978; Post Impressionism 1979-1980; A New Spirit in Painting 1981; Painting in Naples 1981;  David Hockney: A Drawing Retrospective 1995; Sensation 1997; Joseph Beuys: The Secret Block for a Secret Person in Ireland 1999; Georg Baselitz 2007; and many more. Many of the above exhibitions were organised in conjunction with major museums, largely in Europe and in North America. Norman Rosenthal has been particularly associated with a series of exhibitions at the Royal Academy documenting the art of the 20th Century, including German art in the Twentieth Century 1985; British Art in the Twentieth Century 1987; Italian Art in the Twentieth Century 1989; Pop Art 1991; American Art in the Twentieth Century 1993.

I thought it would be interesting for me to record a few of my thoughts when I'm doing research for the course. And I've had the opportunity this week to talk with one of the Transcendental Meditation representatives. And I had contacted him because I had paid for a refresh of the course because I had done the course. And I was interested in asking a few questions as well as maybe dig into some advanced practices for myself. And also, maybe it's a research for you guys, for the courses, for the podcast, for the YouTube channel. And so I had a discussion with him. I'm not going to say his name, of course, but an older person who has been teaching the official Transient Meditation Court for approximately 50 years, I think he said 40 games. Exactly. And we had a little discussion, and I was not very satisfied with this discussion. This is what I want to talk about today, which is also one of the issues that I have with the whole transcendental Meditation movement. The first issue is I mean, that's maybe going a little bit political, which is not something that I wish to do at all, but there are some correlations in the philosophy here. Every time you meet somebody in 2,021 for the first time, how are you doing? Yes, I'm okay, of course. Boo, you're going to be talking about the virus. And he wanted us to meet, as I said, he's an older gentleman and he does not believe in masks, and he does not believe in vaccine and all these types of things. And I quickly change the subject because I'm not really interested in talking about these things, neither here for you nor with me with some person of the Transcend Meditation organization. Apparently everybody is in medical experts in 2,020, and everybody has their opinions, which they confuse as fat. And I don't really want to dig into that at all, but it kind of shaped the discussion, the feeling of the discussion also. And we talked about meditation. I told him I didn't no, I'm not doing the transplant meditation every day, twice a day, because there are some other types of meditation that I like. I've been doing these vibrational meditations. I've been doing some Panama. I've been doing some mindfulness, some breathing meditations. I've tipped my toes and different types of 10 oriented meditations and all sorts of types of meditations because there's a lot of different techniques. We're going to talk about the relationship between different techniques, something that have been journaling about this. We've also. But anyway, there's a vast array of possibilities because there's a vast array of cultures, because there's a vast array of being able to go to a place where you feel at peace and it doesn't have to be transcendence of the thought doesn't have to go beyond it all. Sometimes it's a contemplation. Sometimes it's a contemplation idea on the concept, on a symbol, sometimes it's a contemplation on your breath, on your body, and so on. And I don't think that there is a better way to meditate. In a note, I think that some meditations are complementary. And I think that some meditations are for different sensitivities and also for different times at different times during the day, for different times in our lives. And so I told him that not specifically like I think that every meditation is valid. But I said Yes have been faring. And he was like, well, you shouldn't do that because transcendental meditation is the only meditation. And I was like, well, no, it's not the only meditation is like, Yes, it is not the only meditation, but it's still need good hesitation. So it's very good that you're coming back to the to the practice in a more advanced way. And I knew that there was no point in in discussing further, because this is the whole this has always been like this in the transient meditation environment for them. And they say it very clearly if you read the book by Bob Roth, Strength and Stillness, if you read the books by Jeff Forum or by Norman Rosenthal, all these people that have been writing extensively options on meditation, who, of course, revolves in the centralization of Mass. And most recently I have been reading a book by Carol Bluefield, Michael Peter Cane and Dennis Jaffe Jaffe. I'm not quite sure how to pronounce. It called TM, Discovering the Inner Energy and Overcoming Stress. And it's kind of interesting because it's one of the first books, Entres and some meditation written in the Lake Sixties, but it always goes into that same direction of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Of course, they don't say that he invented these techniques. He brought them to the West. That's what they say. But his word is a little bit like the word of a Prophet, and his word is the truth and nothing, nothing else is the truth. And this is why a lot of people to tell me or ask me, Yeah, I've been going to the introduction of the Transnet meditation course, but not only it costs 1,000 2,000 dollars, wherever it depends where you are. Not only is it extremely expensive, but I felt it was a little bit of cultish. So I've always asked the question to transfer them from education to cult. And so we would kind of have to define what is a cult. And I also asked if it's a religion. And so we would also have to ask, well, what is a religion? And it's not a cult in the sense that we see it, you know, in the movies, in all documentaries or in new documentaries. Also similar thinks he's Jesus. And everybody thinks he's Jesus. There was one side by a River for that 10 years ago, something like this cult with, you know, living in the same village a lot of the time, one man and multiple women and group events and maybe finish it by a group killing or something crazy like this. And this is the mission we have. And we talked about a cold. Now I don't think that it is a cause. Instead, I did the official training. So they have all my data on my Imation that's been quite aggressive when I've been trying to share my experiences, the people online and offline. And when I say often even me myself. So they were like, Hey, but you shouldn't you shouldn't talk about just on the meditation, even to your wife, to your sister or to to a friend or whatever. And this is very, very, very cute. This is very strange. It's not natural. It's not something that I'm I'm not really okay with that. But to go back to the cultish thing in the religious thing, it is a little bit because they have that certainty. And this is why I digress. I go from thoughts to fall to multiple directions. I apologize for of this, but this is also why should send some meditation was burned from a lot of schools at some point. They wanted to put us in meditation in school. And he would say, well, that's really awesome. And it is I think that mindfulness meditation is something that is extremely important. And I think that meditation is it normal negotiable in art, in age, we get so much input, we get so much similar, so much information. We need to be able to step back, take some perspective, take a nice deep breath. So I do think that meditation should be in schools. I do think that we should also do yoga and these type social practices in schools. It's just as important. Other practices, mental practice, mind practice. And I know if you want to call it spiritual spiritual as just a thought, it's just a simple it's just an idea practice in and of course, non religious inside of schools. But just in meditation was banned from in schools, all schools that were considered secular. And the reason for that is that they have the data that it was religious. So, of course, in transience meditation, in Stars, with that with kind of a religious process. And again, was up to define religion is but we can kind of define it that it has some elements such as certainty. Usually religions are certain that they're right in that nobody else is right, which is the case. But then there are some rituals, which is also the case of. And then there are some representative of God, which is also the case with him. And they don't really say that Mavis is some sort of a Prophet, but they believe in his word as sacred and the word God. It doesn't have to be God, like we see in Christianity, in Islam, with Judaism, but in the creator of all things. And when you talk about pure consciousness. And when we talk about the unified field that there's that could also be a definition of and no, the definition of what I say, go. And you know, I told you about this book, this also from the Sixties. And it starts. It starts. I'm gonna find the sentence right here says, I'm talking about Maharishi. I Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy. I Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy was a star. That means that there is no there's no space for refuting any of his ideas or for even thinking outside of his word. And for me, this is dangerous. This is this is the dark side of face there's of religion. There's a good side of religion in some religions where you are meant to ask questions or where you are meant to. And those are usually derived from religions and their what you might call more Liberal religions, but their religions, but you cannot derive from his word. And transient to meditation is the only one and only meditation practice. That is how. And this is what they tell you. This is what the teachers tell you. This is what the representatives of the organization tell you. And I think that this is very dangerous. So it was the same thing when I took the course, and the teacher asked me, Have you ever meditated before? And they said, Well, Yeah, I've been meditating for some years now, doing some mindfulness meditation and focusing on my breath and so on. She said, Well, then you have never meditated ever in your life. And back in the day, my old self, especially when they took the transcendent meditation course, I took it because I was in a very dark place in my life. I was extremely depressed. And so on. I don't want to go back into my story. But I wasn't a vulnerable point. And I know that there's a lot of people that are in the vulnerable point that might be influenced when somebody tells them this is the truth. This is the truth. This is a certain truth. And by doing this, you will be better than anybody else. And this is also something that is very strange for me is that we transcend thoughts to the source of thought. The source of thought is pure consciousness. Everything around us is created by pure consciousness. Everything is made of pure consciousness, so that's atoms, molecules. And if you go down the other and if you go really to the source, that is pure energy, pure consciousness. And so we are all linked because we all belong to that entity of life, to that pure consciousness. Okay. But still, even though this is what you learn in that philosophy, and it's beautiful. And I love those principles of of quantum field philosophy and ideas, still, they will tell you that this is an advantage over other people if you do it. And this is a problem. This is a problem for me because without other people, you can want to be yourself. Your condensed in a way that everything is dependent upon everything around you. So it's like this with the fans. So it forms is in the soil, and it cannot be apparent without soil. Otherwise. What a dead plant. Right. So it is dependent on its environment. We are as human beings, animals, beings. You can call them However you want, dependent on the nature around us, depending on the consciousness around us. And we are all linked to that consciousness because of these theories of unified feeling. Still, they will say, and I can quote again, the transcender Meditation book and most of these books. I've been studying them because I've been I wanted to go back to some concept, but they're all really marketing elements for the course. But this is what he says, Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy and his employment of meditation to evolve and the members physical in the physical advantage of others. Advantage of others can't speak very advantage of others. So do this, and you'll be better than the others to be better than the others because you'll be connected. It doesn't really make sense. It doesn't really make sense. And so, Yeah, I find it a little bit. The more I dig into it, the more I find it what you might call it cultish or religious. And I've been also rereading the book by Bob Rob in Stillness, which is basically the features on there this book walking around my room talking, which is something I didn't do before, but I'm enjoying it. I hope it's useful to you. It's approximately 200 pages. There are little pages, but it's approximately 500 pages. And basically it's a 200 page sales letter sales method for the course. So you'll read this is all that to a few hours to read it and will lose a few hours of your life. Why? Because there's no use for information in this book. It just tells you how great and how amazing transcend as a vegetation is. And how do you build credibility? How does it get credibility? It's every single every single change is at least two examples on brands that we trust that will influence us to go to the course and belong to that organization. Give your data and your money was usually is very expensive, the best way to do it in the world, but usually is very expensive. Expensive. So there's name dropping everywhere everywhere they manage to. And this is not only true for this book, but for all of the books on transcendental meditation. So depending on the errors. So this ball bra book, he'll tell you about opera. He'll tell you about Ellen DeGeneres. He'll tell you about Ray Dalio, about Hugh Jackman, about Seinfeld, about these household names that we like that we associate to pleasure that we trust. And the same is exactly the same thing as Pepsi paying Michael Jackson to make a Pepsi Advertisement because you like Michael Jackson. He makes you groove, he makes he taps his foot, he creates joy. He creates a positive reinforcement of that joy. And so when you see a bottle of Pepsi, you think, Hey, I'm associating this to Michael Jackson. So this might be better than Coca Cola because I didn't see Michael Jackson drink Coca Cola. I saw Michael Jackson drinking Pepsi. And so you might buy Pepsi if you see, especially if you've seen that advertise over and over again for a certain amount of time. The next day you go to the shop, you'll buy one of these. This is how advertisements do it. They create trust. They create sentiments. And this is what trans Mental Meditation does. So in this older book by Jack Form, Transient Meditation, this title, he does the same thing in the first chapter with the Beatles. So there's a picture of Mona Vie with the Beatles. And the Beatles went there. And the Beatles were the thing at the time. This was the first version of the book was written in States was they were like the first big pop phenomenon. And so Maharishi has started to do this, quote, unquote marketing for his transplant meditation course. And it was okay. We're kind of because, you know, the but as soon as he started dropping the beetle in a boom, this is where it exploded. He managed to somehow trademark the word trust is meditation and TM and this ancient thousands of year old practice so that none of you guys do if you don't take the official course and learn about it. And I think that this is immoral. And I think that this is wrong. And I don't know this person, Maharishi, but I have met many of his representatives in the last few years, and it's always about that. And so to come back to the discussion that I had with this gentleman, I came out and I was really annoyed. I was really annoyed. And I was not annoyed because because of myself, because I cut this state. I'm annoyed because of other people that might be influenced do such things. And I believe that we have our true power comes from the core of who we are. And ultimately, you can tap the next power. You can tap in your pure consciousness. You can tap in your natural state, your natural intelligence. You can do this in so many ways, meditation being one of the most practical ways. But you don't have to go and you don't have to pay for my course. And you certainly don't have to pay 10 times as much for the transcend meditation course will try to remove the possibilities that it is anything else than the unique truth. When we talk about religion, usually this is what we talk about. There is one single truth that is irrefutable. And this is what transcends the meditation does. And again, in that both Ron book, she says, they are lies and they're like actual lies, or at least things that I perceive as life. He says. Gentle meditation is the oldest type of meditation ever. It's the first. He said. It's the best. But forget about that. That can be considered an opinion. But like you said, historically, it is the first time of meditation. And that is so not true because you could not possibly possibly have any kind of objective proof. About 10,000 years ago, people were not sitting and breathing and that is meditation or reflecting on a thought. And that is meditation. And so this cultivation, this religious view, the transcendence meditation is just the only one. The oldest one in the only valid one is something that and I'm starting to repeat myself. So I'm going to press the stop button on this post count, but I just won't. I just wanted to share this with you. And a lot of people have been asking me, is the course a transman meditation course? And no, it is not translated. The meditation course because I did not belong positions as meditation organization. I do not want to belong to transcend organization, and I do not want to be in any type of form associated to the transcend meditation organization and do not believe that it is fiction. I do not believe that it is virtuous. I'm not going to say that it's evil, but it's just a lot of business trying to take your money away by selling you the hallucination that they even comprehend the truth. Because, you know, and I love this quote and I tell it to all of my students. The first thing that we need is something I would say the first time that we meet, which is the opposite of every big truth is another big truth. I can guide you into trying to open it up to the things that I believe in or that I am particularly sensitive to, and some ideas that I find fascinating and some things that I've tried with myself with some other students before. Thank you. The Internet has now worked with so many people and had so much feedback from meditations. Millions of meditations have been practiced now on the YouTube channel, which is absolutely amazing, but I don't hand the truth. I'll never say that this meditation will be better than the other. I'll never say all these types of things. So no, it's not a different meditation course. It's a course where we will learn to transcend transcend. It just needs to go beyond to go beyond what? To go beyond our thoughts or emotions, their feelings, at least for a certain amount of time. So to start with during our meditation, how through different techniques that we'll talk about that I've extensively talked about in in the past. So mantras, mantra based meditation, and that's also I digress again. But that's also another lie in the above row. But maybe it's not a lie. Maybe I was just scanned in my course, but I took the course from the Transcendent Meditation Organization. It tells you it tells you he has a teacher will create the match for you that specific for you according to your sensitivities, your activity to your job. And this is basically all the data you fill in every single day of the course. You fill in a big yellow paper with all your data. And this is kind of how they give you the at least the first one because absolutely would be happy at least the first one. This is how you get the marker. But it's not true. I've seen the list on the internet very easily. It's very easy. Just Google it and you'll find a list according to your age and there is your mantra. And I've seen the list. I looked at my age and there was my mantra. So there's a whole chapter on how they create the manager specifically for you. And this is not only a lie, this is like a false advertising, isn't it? So what did I say? Yes. Types of meditation to Transend artbased meditations, vibrational meditation, of course, as we do every single day on this podcast, on the YouTube channel, different types of meditations that have studied and tried out, such as chanting and deep listening. And all these types of meditations that are very food will do that. I can assure you you can try them because you can do it for free and you don't have to do the course, but only you don't feel pressured into size. Course you have. I'll share with you. Of course I continue to do so. There's over 500 meditations on the YouTube channel I started posting every day here in default cast. I'm not sure if this will continue because I don't have so much server space. Otherwise I would have to pay much for the how do you say the hosting of the podcast a difference to YouTube. But anyway, we will continue to do a lot of work there. I just want to finish this part from episode by saying that this is not a rare this is me ranting. This is me having this experience, having talked to this guy who is a representative of the TM organization, having dug deep into all of these books and documents and experiences that I've had in the past regarding transplant meditation and the warning in an answer to a question that has been asked to me over and over again, Should I do the transcendence meditation course? What is my secret for police? Is it it calls the religion and this is I thought I would record is a few of my thoughts on the subject. This is kind of an edited podcast where I rumble and mumble and I will press the stop button. If you have any questions, do call me or don't call me because my number to you. Send me an email or message on Instagram or wherever. And I'll do my best to answer you. And if you have some other questions, I might do some other of these talks for I can answer some of your questions the best I can. Okay, guys, I hope you have a nice day. I hope this sound is not too awful, because I'm recording this on my phone, and I'll see you tomorrow for a new meditation. Probably. Take care. Bye.

Dr. Norman Rosenthal was the first to describe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What other practitioners once saw as stupid, is now a commonly known and treated mental disorder. Since describing this disorder, Dr. Rosenthal has then gone on to treat it through some pretty "wacky" methods. Light therapy, which is common practice now, was once again initially viewed as very odd and stupid to doctors. However, since his initial treatment, Dr. Rosenthal has gone on to recommend meditation, exercise, and now even poetry.

Lisa is joined by Norman Rosenthal, MD who talks about his latest book, Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy To Your Life. Dr. Rosenthal's research with SAD led him to write "Winter Blues" and two other books on the topic. More recently Rosenthal has written books on the Transcendental Meditation technique ("Transcendence" and "Supermind"), "The Gift of Adversity" and, most recently, "Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy To Your Life." Altogether, he has written or co-authored 10 books and published over 200 professional articles. Dr. Rosenthal maintains a clinical and coaching practice in the DC Metropolitan area. If you find yourself wondering how reading poetry can be beneficial for your mental health, be sure to listen. Lisa found herself marveling at both the poems and how deeply they affected her. Listening to Dr. Rosenthal's soothing voice as he reads some aloud is a gift in itself. Book description: "I used to believe that poetry did not “speak” to me, but I now see how wrong I was. I lived for 44 years with a husband, a lyricist, whose beautifully crafted, heartfelt lyrics touched my every fiber and continue to uplift and inspire me a decade after his death. The special beauty of Dr. Rosenthal's book for me is his discussion of what each poem is saying, what the poet was likely feeling and often how the poems helped him personally, as when he left his birth family in South Africa for a rewarding career in the United States." - Jane Brody, Author & New York Times Columnist Poetry to Heal, Inspire and Enjoy Poetry Rx presents 50 great poems as seen through the eyes of a renowned psychiatrist and New York Times bestseller. In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy and everything in between: Love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up and how to survive when someone breaks up with you. Separate sections deal with responses to the natural world, and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life. In describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends. Rosenthal also delves into the science of mind and brain. Who would have thought, for example, that listening to poetry can cause people to have goosebumps by activating the reward centers of the brain? Yet research shows that to be true. And who were these fascinating poets? In a short biosketch that accompanies each poem, Rosenthal draws connections between the poets and their poems that help us understand the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. Altogether, a fulfilling and intriguing must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the mind, self-help and genius. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We wanted to re-play this interview during this tumultuous time. We are all dealing with so much adversity and Dr. Norman is a gift. Original Description: During times of trouble it can be hard to see the silver lining. However, everything you go through -- good or bad -- is a lesson. Conditions like chronic anxiety and depression can be extremely difficult, but with certain strategies you can learn to overcome the debilitating symptoms of these conditions. According to bestselling author Norman Rosenthal, MD, hard times in your life can turn out to be a gift. In this segment of Naturally Savvy, he shares tips on how you can truly overcome adversity and how you can come out on the other side shining.

Between music that’s serious and popular, SIR NORMAN ROSENTHAL orients his alignment towards the classical! A vivid remembrance, dancing harmoniously to Symphony in C…  An instinct, rooted in love, takes precedence in Rosenthal’s curatorial practice, exemplifying an attitude for art that values the aura over the mass-produced. That’s where this episode leaves us, yearning for the beauty symbolized by the needle in the hay…

This week: “Exploring the Science of Creativity, Meditation, and the Brain," a conversation between renowned psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal, classical guitar virtuoso Sharon Isbin, and esteemed Transcendental Meditation teacher and CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, Bob Roth. In their conversation on the science and art of meditation and creativity, they discuss how stress impacts the creativity centers of the brain, and how meditation can help heal and awaken our senses. This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience on May 10, 2017.

Adversity is an irreducible fact of life.  Although we can and should learn from all experiences, both positive and negative, bestselling author Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, believes that adversity is by far the best teacher most of us will ever encounter.Whether the adversity one experiences is the result of poor decision-making, a desire to test one’s mettle, or plain bad luck, Rosenthal believes life’s most important lessons—from the value of family to the importance of occasionally cutting corners—can be best learned from it.Running counter to society’s current prevailing message that “excellence” must always be aspired to, and failure or mistakes of any sort are to be avoided at all costs, Rosenthal shows that engaging with our own failures and defeats is one of the only ways we are able to live authentic and meaningful lives, and that each different type of adversity carries its own challenges and has the potential to yield its own form of wisdom. Using stories from his own life—including his childhood in apartheid-era South Africa, his years after suffering a violent attack from a stranger, and his career as a psychiatrist—as well as case studies and discussions with well-known figures like Viktor Frankl and David Lynch, Rosenthal shows that true innovation, emotional resilience, wisdom, and dignity can only come from confronting and understanding the adversity we have experienced. Even when life is hardest, there are meanings to be found, riches to be harvested, and gifts that can last a lifetime. Rosenthal illustrates his message through a series of compact, memorable chapters, each one drawn from episodes in the lives of his patients, colleagues, or himself, and concluded with a take-away maxim on the lesson learned.

Dr. Norman Rosenthal joins us on this week’s episode of the podcast. Dr. Norman Rosenthal is a world-renowned psychiatrist, researcher, and author who first described seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD.

We hear from Adam Lowe of Factum Arte about a new TV series in which seven lost paintings are recreated using digital means, and speak to Norman Rosenthal and Thaddaeus Ropac about the enigmatic German artist Joseph Beuys See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

During his 31 years as the exhibitions secretary at London's Royal Academy, Sir Norman Rosenthal staged groundbreaking exhibitions of art including the legendary show, “A New Spirit in Painting” (1981), which brought artists such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Georg Baselitz to broader recognition. "Art is entertainment, but entertainment in the best sense of the word," he says in our latest podcast, speaking to host Charlotte Burns. “Museums, in the end, are like cupboards. And with the contents of the cupboards you have to try and make beautiful things—exhibitions that can tell with genuine artifacts aspects of the great story of art and human civilization.” Since leaving the RA in 2008, Rosenthal has organized exhibitions and written essays for a number of organizations such as Gagosian, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (“If you're freelance, you are a kind of whore—but you can choose your clients," he says). No stranger to controversy, Rosenthal talks us through his views on restitution and commerce ("the best dealers are nearly always ahead of the best curator. You name a curator who's really made a really serious decision about "the future”, he says) and tells us where he finds great art today.

Why do I practice yoga? It's impactful on my life and therefore it affects my trading. I had no idea what impact it would have on me when I began my practice. If you haven't started, I would give it a try.  One of my teachers Erich Schiffmann has called yoga a "moving meditation" - you lose yourself in the vinyasa flow and don't think about the choreography of the flow.  Become mindful of your breath and you calm yourself, lower your blood pressure and level of stress. Surrender to the process and notice over time how you feel better the longer you practice yoga. I admit, I did not feel this way within the first 3 months of practicing yoga. But there came a point where I didn't want to go a day without it. The blissful hangover you have the day after a yoga class is worth the effort.  When you feel better, I think you'll trade better. You won't have the knots in your lower back, the stress in your shoulders, or tight hamstrings that distract you during the trading day.  You can also just meditate and forget the yoga altogether, but the benefits to you overall body with yoga are superior to that of just  You can also tap into your subconscious also by going with the flow and seeing where you are holding stress in your body and all the feelings that you are holding on to that you don't know you are holding on to...you'll release all the energy that your body is blocking mentally and physically.  You'll also develop a stronger sense of mental stamina because you'll condition yourself to quiet your mind - and that means focus. When you focus, you'll be able to harness all your mental power and put it on the task at hand. You'll also benefit by NOT spending energy on things that don't matter anymore. That's how your life will improve.  You can watch yoga lessons on YouTube. You can also buy some DVDs to practice at home. IMHO, you'll benefit more if you are a beginner because your teacher will help you make the adjustments so that your postures are picture perfect. Like for baseball pitchers, you want to have great yoga mechanics so that you don't inadvertently hurt yourself by trying to go to deep into a pose.  My good friend Ally Hamilton has an online yoga school where you can stream lessons for $10/month and have access to some amazing teachers - many of whom I know.  Listen to my interview with Ally Hamilton Listen to my interview with TM master Norman Rosenthal

The piece responds to the Witness Seminar, organised by Tilli Tansey, to mark the 30th anniversary of the first publication about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in 1984. I interviewed Norman Rosenthal, the researcher who first wrote about the disorder as well as Jennifer Eastwood and Helen Hanson who are both sufferers of the disorder and who are involved in SADA (Seasonal Affective Disorder Association). Thomas Dixon and Tilli Tansey discuss their collaboration on this Witness Seminar and reflect on some of the ideas it provoked. In this podcast I wanted to reflect the story of Seasonal Affective Disorder as told in the Witness Seminar but also to try and communicate something of what it might be like to experience the disorder. Helen Hanson, the current Chair of SADA, describes how she feels her experience of SAD has influenced her work as an artist and conjures an extraordinary image of experiencing the dwindling of light on winter afternoons as “the hour of the wolf”.

As you increase vegetables, steam them or chop them up finely to break down the cellulose/fiber to help digest them with less intolerance. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!)

We are all familiar with the words of Nietzsche who said, "that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."  It has become a kind of mantra for a society in which everyone seems under siege, or faces some kind of adversity.  But is it true?We’re told that we learn from our mistakes, but is there an easier way?  Does the willingness to lean into to adversity, make it more likely?  Do those who deny adversity’s benefits, have less of it?  And how does the value of learning from adversity get weaker,  often closed down, by the power of positive thinking which is often so much a part of our happy talk culture?These are some of the ideas dealt with by Dr. Norman Rosenthal in  The Gift of Adversity: The Unexpected Benefits of Life's Difficulties, Setbacks, and Imperfections.  Rosenthal is a psychiatrist and the scientist who in the 1980s first described winter depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). He spent 20 years as a researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) where he studied disorders of mood, sleep, and biological rhythms.My conversation with Dr. Norman Rosenthal:

33voices interviews world renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Norman Rosenthal.

Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Guest: Norman Rosenthal, MD The condition we now know as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) was first recognized in the early 1980s, when some patients were noted to have symptoms of depression only during the winter months. How does seasonal depression differ from other conditions such as major depression or bipolar disorder? Dr. Norman Rosenthal, a former senior researcher in psychiatry and psychobiology at the National Institute of Mental Health and one of the world's foremost experts on SAD, details the clinical profile of this disorder and describes light therapy and other potential treatments with host Dr. Jennifer Shu. Because there are some similarities between SAD and full depression, is it possible that light therapies or other SAD treatments would be effective for patients with year-round symptoms or bipolar disorder?
