So which is which? Are you saying TM is more like one of these
than the other. Both methods sound positive.
From my experience, I would say TM was more like #2. But that was
also coupled with a lot of introspection and work on my part to
root out tendencies that were causing me problems. For me TM was
more like a break in the action and a balm for mind and body.
Sorry Ray, the correct answer was door number one.
