Annie was abducted into prostitution as a young teen, where her life was, as she puts it, “tormenting.” Now at 17 years old, she is preparing to attend college with hopes of becoming a social worker. In this video she describes how Transcendental Meditation is helping her break free from the extreme stress and painful memories of her past.

Children of the Night is a home that offers a safe haven to girls and boys who are victims of child and teen prostitution, while providing the opportunity to gain an excellent education. The David Lynch Foundation teamed up with Children of the Night to offer Transcendental Meditation to help them overcome the stress and trauma of their past and move forward with their lives.
