Just like one size shoe won't fit us all neither does just one medical approach to a problem. One of my favorite recipes: Ingredients: 1. Whole grain organic brown rice. 2. Spring or filtered water. Directions: In a stainless steel pot with a copper clad bottom, add 1 cup of washed rice and 2 cups of water. Cover. Bring to a boil. Cook on low flame until done. Optional: Serve in a bowl.

Set a timer /if needed/ or meditate for twenty minutes. *Important notes on eating: *DO NOT REMOVE THE LID BEFORE THE RICE IS COOKED AND TEST IT WITH A FORK. DO NOT EAT THE RICE RAW WITHOUT COOKING FIRST. DO NOT EAT THE RICE ON A FULL STOMACH. DO NOT WATCH TV WHILE EATING OR RECLINING ON A SOFA.

IN fact, Triguna's son took my pulse a few months after *I* had Hepatitus (got it from MY son who got it at daycare) and commented I had heat in my liver system. By the way, pulse diagnosis is part of the Maharish School curriculum. All the students practice it every day. And I believe it is taught in as part of the pre-med curriculum at MUM, but not sure. Interesting thing I just found out. Prodence Farrow, Mia Farrow's sister, has a PhD in Sanskrit from Berkley, and her PhD thesis was doing a translation and analysis of the 5 or 6 main Ayurvedic texts on pulse diagnosis.

They do not care about MMY or the TMO - they just want to learn Transcendental Meditation for some reason or another. An experienced TM-Teacher with a solid background in teaching, counts more than re-cert- teachers. And when women are denied to learn because the one recert. lady TM-Teacher is not available - what to do? They are seeking up Independent teachers - thinking that the TMO is weird.

One corner has Mickey d's and down the street you'll have Jack in the Box or some other franchise. One corner offers Shell Gasoline the corner across the street has Chevron. When it comes to TM one has the official TMO cult with all it's trappings or one can learn TM as taught by Mahahrishi Mahesh Yogi when he first came to America without all the weirdness. The people will have a choice, high priced weirdness, or simple knowledge at a simple price.

Any meditation technique that assists one to transcend could be called transcendental meditation. Seems I heard that some court had made the TMO ad Program to the trade mark name for this reason.

I think also if a teacher were to open his own center near a Peace Palace offering TM at a reasonable rate and also just happened to have a picture of himself with Maharishi sitting in a prominent place in the center, the public wouldn't have many questions as to whether you were a legitimate teacher of TM or not. Leave the "splaining" to the Peace Palace teachers as to why they charge more and you charge less.
