Your "research" is done by TBs within the org. and published by its own journals - every group has stories of its accomplishments and superiority. Your group's philosophy values subjective experiences of "witnessing" and breath suspension and so that's what the stories focus on. Other groups may not value those at all within its concept of enlightenment. The one TM study that clearly meets objective research criteria and that I think everyone would view as a positive benefit is reduction of blood pressure. There are innumerable studies showing physiological changes associated with a whole variety of mental practices. ------------------------ Yahoo!
