Because it "divides the mind"? It's recommended (or was when I learned TM) that one keep one's full attention on what one is doing in activity. > TM uses it for children, the so called walking mantra. I thought kids use the walking mantra during 10-minute periods when they just walk around, or are playing quietly by themselves. In other words, meditation is kept pretty much distinct from activity even for them. Am I wrong?
