Hey Turquioise - what a great idea! I do it in another way. Saying in my Advertisements that I teach techniques in Stress Release and that I have been a Teacher in Transcendental Meditation since 1975. No one can stop me from telling a big part of my life. But in Norway it is easier, because The TMO has been denied to trademark Transcendental Meditation and I have bought a domene with transcendentalmeditation. But if Mike lose, it is a lot of ways to tell people what you are teaching. You gave me some creative ideas here. Ingegerd
