Dunno. You find research on other meditation techniques of people reporting 24/7 witnessing for years at a time, or breath suspension associated with reports of samadhi. Bet back to me when you do. Pubmed and the easelan institute's summary of 4 thousand meditation research studies would be a good place to start. Enjoy. ------------------------ Yahoo!
