Dear Amarnath ~ thank you for what you shared about this. Also thank you for

calling my approach "innocent." In view of what I have undergone with my

family, I have been thinking of myself as naive and even stupid. Sometimes I am

not very kind to myself. I'm glad you talked about the hyperventalitation

aspect of this technique. This immediately puts a big red circle around Ravi

Shankar's name, with a big red slash through it..."Linda, Stay Away..."

 

I have always had a tendency to hyperventilate or, on the other side to hold

my breath, and I still struggle at times to breathe "normally."

Hyperventilation is very bad for me because it can lead to a panic attack or

accompany

one. Whenever I have done TM, it has been a very gentle, subtle process, very

natural, and I never had any trouble with either hyperventilation or holding

my breath. I will stay away from this.

 

Thanks for looking out for me, Amarnath. Blessings ~ Linda
