The reason why people unstress with TM is because that is a feature,

of such twists, 24/7 access to bliss consciousness is available to
that
transparent mind.
Most meditation techniques only serve to make the mind more dull --
sort of an upscale alcohol relief effect -- so it's no wonder that
they
don't have a worthwhile effect, much less a "side effect" like
unstressing.
Most meditation techniques are like the TM advanced technique except
they have the full mantra and are for another "deity" which provides a
different and positive effect and certainly not dullness and stress is
also dissolved. Let's not "spin doctor" with such ignorant bullshit
from the MarshyBots.
Well, we can be clear where Mahesh and company only blow smoke.
We know from recent audio tapes of old TM retreats that what M.
actually meant by "purification of the nervous system" was
purification of the subtle body, the nadis, the holographic interface
with the way mind flows. This is much more helpful to know since the
techniques for this are well known and practiced successfully up to
the present day. These techniques are the different forms of nadi
shodanam or "purification of the nadis", in TM-speak: "purification of
the nervous system".
Are these techniques results the same as "unstressing"? No they are
not. If karmic prana is nullified, this stress is turned into pure,
balanced energy.
So clearly "unstressing" is some imbalance, not the balanced result of
proper application of method.
Yogic literature is clear that extreme mental imbalance can be
fostered by methods or incomplete understanding or simply lousy
teachings.
