Tom Spector began meditating while in graduate school at Yale University in 1968. He realized he had low self-esteem, lots of anger, and was flunking out of the intense program. Meditation helped him immensely. He began to work out his deep-seated personal growth issues and rapidly became a star student, completing the full Ph.D. program in record time. He continued to meditate, even when he was an International Vice President for Cancer Research for a large pharmaceutical company. In 1976, Tom began teaching meditation to seriously ill people and soon expanded his teaching to relatively healthy people in many different organizations and to private clients. Tom has a special gift for helping people work through troubling issues and feel good about themselves. Our Two Gardens evolved from his 35 years of teaching. Tom lives in North Carolina with his wife, Joanna. To purchase Tom’s Meditation and Healing CD or to learn more about meditation and yoga, visit www.hathahouse.com.
