That is fine, you've got the TM-yoga catechism down. However, things in the body subtle evidently are not necessarily dealt with in just TM as it is taught. Had real yoga been done it would be much less likely that problems folks are experiencing in the meditating community would not be there. Yes there are the eight limbs of yoga and practicing TM is not entirely that system in itself, as in there may well be more work to do than just TM.
