You're underestimating the effects of stress in ordinary life. Everyone I know who does not practice any form of meditation is showing signs of stress, such as bad health, anxiety, materialism and many others. The TMO has been emphasizing this fact as a matter of waking up the public to the alternative holistic method of meditation. Even with that approach, there are still some people who are skeptical of meditation and the "foreign" tradition behind it. > In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@> wrote: > > > > > > On Oct 15, 2008, at 2:52 AM, sparaig wrote: > > > > > Shrug.
