I strongly disagree that he was prescribing a technique to use. Were you on that course? (Mallorca spring 71) . As I recall it was not given as a "technique" -- it was a comment on an ancient practice. As I said, on a later course, he definately said it was not a "technique". I heard both comments live. > A few years later, I was on a course where someone asked M about "the > baby technique" -- what to whisper in a new born's ear. M was > "furious".

Did he or you do a puja? I can't remember any specific techniques he ever gave when a puja was not done. He even had us do a puja for a breathing technique we gave to initial flying block students.
