No, I was under the impression if that happens one is supposed to go with it and eventually it goes away. No matter. My point is there are whole schools that teach to run the mantra with the breath. Lawson, your missing my point here. Pranayama requires no more effort, just a different method. Its like the difference between how the Sunnis wash for prayers versus the method used by the Shia.

I would say a slight headache is a sign that I am on the wrong track.

I like getting checked. From what I can tell there are no governors in LA anymore. There used to be a center on La Cienega but its gone. One would think an area with a population of 22 million could support a center. I don't think checking is an option here. Maybe we could do it on the internet... Close your eyes...open them.
