You could be right, although it occurs to me that the pranic or
vajra bodies' stresses must have correlating symptoms in the
physical body. Given that, and the attempt of the TM organization to
explain TM in terms that the scientific community recognizes leads
to their reliance on physical influences from TM. So the primary
action of TM may not be on the physical body, but its close enough.;-
) Your explanation may be more accurate, but it wouldn't sell in
today's world. Nor is the TM explanation a myth, per se. :-)
