About Dr. Wallace

Robert Keith Wallace, PhD, was the guest speaker at our 2023 TM Weekend.

Dr. Wallace is a pioneering researcher on the physiology of consciousness. His findings describing Transcendental Consciousness as a fourth state of consciousness inspired a new paradigm of health and human development. His most important papers have been published in eminent journals such as Science, American Journal of Physiology, and Scientific American. His work has inspired hundreds of studies on the benefits of meditation and other mind-body techniques.

He also established the first Maharishi Ayurveda® Clinics in the United States—in Fairfield, Iowa, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.—and has traveled around the world speaking at major universities and institutions on Consciousness-Based health programs. A prolific author, his books include The Neurophysiology of Enlightenment, Dharma Parenting, The Gut Crisis, The Rest and Repair Diet, Self-Empower and the Coherence Code.

Dr. Wallace received his BS in physics and his PhD in physiology from UCLA, and has conducted postgraduate research at Harvard University. He is founding President and member of the board of trustees of Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa. He is currently the Chair of the Department of Physiology and Health.

Dr. Wallace is a lively and engaging speaker and is known for fun, informative and interactive presentations. We were fortunate to have him join us again.
