Eileen Lawrence is Vice President of Sales and Marketing at an educational publishing company that she co-founded in 2000. In less than nine years, the company has become a leader in the field of scholarly online publishing for universities and libraries. It has been the recipient of dozens of industry awards and top reviews. The company has customers in more than forty countries.
Ms Lawrence holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Education from Antioch in New England. Until 1980, she taught in rural New England, in a self-created kindergarten that became a model classroom and training site for universities and school districts in the region. She also served as a consultant and adjunct faculty member for various programmes, including Head Start, University of New Hampshire, and Dartmouth College.
Ms Lawrence is featured on a new website, where she says that she learnt Transcendental Meditation in 1974. She was the last in her family to learn the technique.
Shortly after they started the Transcendental Meditation Technique, her mother stopped using tranquilizers; her brother took a giant leap in confidence and transferred to a top university; and her father lost his work-related stress and looked years younger.
‘As an independent high achiever, I thought I didn’t need to meditate,’ she says. ‘But my family urged me to learn, and soon after I was instructed, things changed. My drive remained high but my self-imposed pressure disappeared. Lifelong allergies went away, the ‘teenage’ skin problems still with me in adulthood disappeared, and my sleep improved. I felt a lot of happiness. No matter what life threw at me, I maintained a calm core of strength and joy. I forgot how to worry.’
Ms Lawrence credits the Transcendental Meditation Programme with ‘a life full of good things.’ Despite earlier concerns she’d had about motherhood, she found that mothering was conscious, aware, and sweet.
‘In my work life, I’ve been able gracefully to take on more with each new position,’ she continues. ‘In 2001, at an age when many women think about retiring, I co-founded a publishing company that quickly became an industry leader, with dozens of awards and customers worldwide.
‘I feel half my age and am free of physical ailments. I work hard, travel the world, enjoy opera, theater, and hobbies, maintain nurturing friendships, and am blissfully married. With the TM Technique, time is more productive, so there is more of it. Amazing!’
