Whynot, Yep, you got it. It is very Buddhistic like in practice. The teachers introduce it telling how to use the 'attention' then turn on the gizmo that conducts the meditation. Also they may play a Maharishi or Tony tape. People are there experientially for the technique. The point is to sit through the guided meditation. It is a type of samyama when you get the hang of it. That is my experience being there. Best Regards, -Buck in FF
