Oil Over It 

Essential oils soothe, restore and sometimes even repair the psyche 

sat on my bed, worn out from arguing with my son. Tears streamed 

down my face as I replayed the scene in my mind, which seemed like the 

part in “� e Exorcist” where Linda Blair’s head spins round and round. 

“� at’s what I am, the ‘Exorcist’ lady,” I thought, and I laughed amid 

my tears. At that moment, I resolved to � nd a better way to deal with 

my emotions. I had been moody all of my life, and had been on and 

o� prescribed anti-depressants. But a� er I discovered yoga, I wanted 

to � nd ways to heal naturally. It has taken Western medicine years to 

catch on to the concept that emotions and disease are intertwined, 

something Chinese medical practitioners have known for thousands of 

years. Dennis Holmes, of the Mississippi Oriental Medicine Association, 

says Chinese medicine begins with the belief that disease starts with an 

emotional attachment. When the chi (life force) is not � owing properly, 

disease takes root. 

“� e heart is the king of all organs,” Holmes told me, and then quoted 

from the “Tao Te Ching”: “� e wise man puts his ear to his heart and 

ignores his mind.” 

How o� en have I ignored my heart and listened to the incessant 

chatter of my mind? In my search for natural healing, my spiritual 

teacher, Tina Michelle, introduced me to essential oils. � is was the start 

of a life-changing experience. Meditation and my daily yoga practice, 

accentuated with the use of the oils, have � nally slowed the chatter down. 

Peppermint, cypress, wintergreen and marjoram oils also help with the 

chronic pain I have in my neck and back. 

Essential oils are the essence of trees, shrubs, roots, � owers, fruit and 

seeds, extracted by various methods, according to the “Essential Oils 

Desk Reference.” � e most common method is steam distillation, which 

channels steam into a cooking chamber holding the raw plant material. 

As the steam rises, the process captures and condenses the essential 

oil molecules, separating the oil from the water. Healers and spiritual 

masters have used essential oils for medicinal and anointing purposes 

for thousands of years, according to Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese 

manuscripts. Even the Bible references essential oils and spices. In 

Exodus, for example, it’s written, “And the Lord said unto Moses, take 

unto thee sweet spices, stacte and onycha, and galbanum, these sweet 

spices with pure frankincense … and make incense.” And most of us 

know what the three wise men brought the baby Jesus: frankincense and 

myrrh, both tree essences, and gold. 

Essential oils contain hundreds to thousands of di� erent chemicals 

that give the oils their healing properties. Essential oils can be antiinfectious, 

anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. Research published by 

the University of Georgia, Weber State University, the Journal of the 

American Pharmaceutical Association, and numerous other journals 

have documented the ability of essential oils to kill many strains of fungi, 

viruses and bacteria, including staphylococcus (which causes lung and 

throat infections) and even herpes simplex. Some research has shown 

that essential oils have the unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, 

and even act as natural chelators, binding to toxins and heavy metals in 

our bodies, and helping transport them out. 

But not all oils are created equal. Some companies add synthetic 

ingredients or even sell synthetic oils, which do not have the same healing 

essences. One of the most trustworthy indicators of essential oil quality 

is the Association French Normalization Organization Regulation. � eir 

standard is very stringent, di� erentiating therapeutic grade oils from 

inferior blends. Most people recommend not using undiluted oils directly 

on the skin, though some providers o� er specially formulated oils for this 

use, and even recommend some of them for skin conditions. 

Among the things essential oils may do: 

• help chronic pain and headaches 

• improve the immune system and digestive function 

• increase energy and concentration 

• help with weight management 

• improve skin disorders 

• stimulate endorphin secretion 

• improve hormonal balance 

• relax the body and mind 

• kill bacteria and mold 

Oils can also add spice to romance. Add a few drops of one of these 

essential oils to apricot seed oil for a sensual massage: basil, bergamot, 

clary, sage, ginger, jasmine, lavender, neroli, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, 

vanilla and ylang ylang. �

Meditation Nation 

How transcendental meditation moved from the spiritual fringes to secular mainstream 

Afunny thing happened on the way to 

enlightenment. � e quest got stripped of 

yogic posturing, Buddhist trappings and even 

the last vestige of spirituality, and turned into 

a search for the kind of clarity that might help 

us all in our worldly pursuits. Which is why 

movers and shakers are again embracing that 

’70s mainstay, Transcendental Meditation. 

You’re likely to hear it spoken of reverentially 

in interviews: Russell Brand, whose wildman 

behavior was cartoonish in its intensity, credits 

TM with helping him to conquer his heroin, 

sex and alcohol addictions. “A� er meditation,” 

he has said, “I felt this beautiful serenity and 

sel� ess connection.” And where celebrities 

venture (the latest wave of TM-ers includes 

Hugh Jackman and Naomi Watts), many of us 

are likely to follow. � e rolls of practitioners 

have tripled in the past three years, according 

to the Transcendental Meditation Program, the 

practice’s national organization. 

“� e game-changer, I think, is David 

Lynch and his foundation,” says Dr. Norman 

E. Rosenthal, the Georgetown University 

psychiatry professor who wrote the recent 

bestseller “Transcendence: Healing and 

Transformation � rough Transcendental 

Meditation.” Lynch, the surrealist director of 

“Twin Peaks,” “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland 

Dr.,” had been quietly practicing TM since, 

yes, the 1970s, but about six years ago, he came 

out of the closet, launching a foundation to 

promote the practice and later publishing a 

manifesto, “Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, 

Consciousness and Creativity.” 

It’s a process perfectly matched to our selfinterested 

times — “no pain, but a lot of gain,” 

according to Rosenthal. Bob Roth, an executive 

director of the David Lynch Foundation, who 

taught TM to Brand and Moby, explains that 

when the mind has been calmed with the help 

of a mantra (a Sanskrit word given to each TM 

grad), it will e� ortlessly sink below the level 

of thought to “pure consciousness.” Practically 

20 | folio weekly | January 24-30, 2012 

speaking, sit in a chair, close your eyes and 

silently repeat the mantra for 20 minutes. Once 

you get the hang of it, Lynch says, you cut the 

elevator cables of your normal-thinking mind 

to descend to a place that feels di� erent. You 

may experience a connection with the universe 

or a mental light show, what Rosenthal calls 

“four-star graphic e� ects.” At the very least, 

you should be blissfully relaxed, which is the 

foundation of the health bene� ts that have been 

measured in the medical research amassed, 

much of it funded by the government. � e 

deep tranquility TM promotes quiets the body’s 

“� ght or � ight” stress response, lowering blood 

David Lynch, a TM disciple, 

aims to bring TM free of 

charge to those most in 

need of its calming effects — 

at-risk kids, prison inmates, 

veterans suffering from 

post-traumatic stress. 

pressure and anxiety and combating depression. 

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the so-called 

giggling guru, who hosted � e Beatles and 

Mia Farrow among others, was the innovator 

who stripped the Hindu meditation practice 

of its religious baggage and repackaged it as a 

systematic, stress-reducing, creativity-building 

technique. Lynch, a disciple, is responsible for 

adding a fresh civic-mindedness to the game. 

His foundation aims to bring TM free of charge 

to those most in need of its calming e� ects — 

at-risk kids, prison inmates, veterans su� ering 

from post-traumatic stress. � at, of course, 

means fundraising bene� ts, which means 

reeling in rich folk and entertainers (many 

introduced to TM by Lynch and Roth), all of 

which attracts media coverage and an increased 

brand awareness among those in the general 

public who might be willing to shell out $1,500 

for the basic course. 

“It was straight out of ‘� e Great Gatsby,’” 

Rosenthal says of the poolside bene� t party 

thrown this past June at the Malibu home 

of Juicy Couture cofounder Pam Levy and 

her TV-director husband, Jefery Levy. One 

imagines the vibes spreading to their neighbor 

Ryan Kavanaugh, CEO of Relativity Media, the 

freshly minted Converse-wearing, 36-year-old 

movie mogul who practices TM twice a day. 

Kavanaugh, who started out as a stockbroker, 

has leveraged his connections by allying with 

the New York hedge fund Elliot Associates, 

among other investors, giving his company the 

billions required to dominate Hollywood � lm 

production. But his secret weapon is his riskassessment 

algorithm, a high-tech quantitative 

analysis of the big picture that he says allows 

him to make money even on box-o� ce dogs. 

As the New York hard-chargers who � ock 

to the TM courses Roth teaches at the Center 

for Leadership Performance soon learn, this 

kind of success is not coincidental. According 

to published research, TM enhances neural 

activity in the part of the brain that houses 

the decision-making “executive center.” “� e 

businesspeople say they’re more focused during 

the day,” Roth says. As do the other Gotham 

heavy-hitters who’ve evangelized for TM and 

the Lynch Foundation, from Jerry Seinfeld and 

Heather Graham to Ben Foster and Howard 

Stern. Leave it to Russell Brand, speaking at a 

gala fundraiser at the Metropolitan Museum of 

Art this past winter, to get at the essence of TM’s 

guilt-free marriage of creativity and commerce: 

“I literally had an idea drop into my brain the 

other day while I was meditating which I think 

is worth millions of dollars.” �
