In the February 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah in her column, What I Know for Sure, (page 162) shares her mission in life, what she’s all about: seeking the fullest expression of self. Part of that life’s purpose brought her to Fairfield, Iowa, or TM Town, as she calls it.
Oprah and her crew were here filming segments for her Next Chapter on OWN, including interviews with students at the Maharishi School; Vedic Pandits in neighboring Maharishi Vedic City; a visit to a home in Abundance Eco-Village, which is totally off the grid and designed with Vedic architectural principles; and practicing Transcendental Meditation with the ladies in one of the two golden domes on the campus of Maharishi University of Management. The show may be airing sometime in March. Updates to follow.
In the article, Oprah shares some personal thoughts on her visit to Fairfield, in particular, meditating in one of the golden domes with the ladies of the Fairfield community. She had a “powerfully energizing yet calming experience” of deep inner stillness and “didn’t want it to end.” When it did, she “walked away feeling fuller than when I’d come in…full of hope, a sense of contentment, and deep joy.” She elaborates saying we all need to tap into and experience “the constancy of stillness” from where “you can create your best work and your best life,” even during “the daily craziness that bombards us from every direction.”

Wow! What a beautiful picture and a beautiful Oprah. It is certainly auspicious that for a period of time Oprah has the freedom to do some exploring about the things that interest her and even more auspicious that she choose TM Town. Now we can hear (and see) how the practice of TM has affected Oprah, her life, her direction and all those who work with her. Who would have predicted that the support of natural law would result in such a wonderful outcome and who can predict what will now evolve as we move forward. This is truly exciting.

In life, every individual knows what he or she is looking for to become happy and peaceful within. Oprah’s visit to Fairfield, Iowa was not a coincidence! Oprah rediscovered herself in the Golden Dome and she is telling the whole world what the practice of TM has done to her life. Oprah, its beautiful to hear you talk about your experiences during Dr Oz’s interview with you! We wish you Nature’s support! Love, peace and bliss to you.
