I know about relaxation induced anxiety. Tell me why you think it
fits TM theory? I think it is the other way around, sometimes for
some people when they meditate they become anxious or experience
autogenic discharges, especially if they have mental health issues.
For example, my feeling is that many cancer patients do better
learning progressive relaxation meditation. Meditation can lead to
anxious thoughts where progressive relaxation has structured thoughts.
