Does Nature really need us to organize forest floors? And do we all suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to some extent?

We often think of OCD as being a personal affliction, but as Thom explains in this episode, it's much broader than that, reflecting a general lack of trust in Nature's organizing power.

Thom explores OCD through the lenses of entropy, control, addiction, and inner order, and how we can collectively display OCD-like traits. 

Thom explains how Vedic Meditation can complement existing treatments by helping the brain settle into a more orderly state., and he also shares a simple coming-to-your-senses technique that can help quiet obsessive momentum in the moment. Listen or watch to learn how a deeper experience of inner order can change the way we relate to the world around us.
