I'm assuming Esalen didn't conduct all these studies, but are summarizing the results of studies conducted by others. Do they give a publication source for each study? I'll try to take a look at it this weekend. Thanks for the link. > every group has stories of its accomplishments and > > superiority.

Even though the blood pressure stuff is done by a MUM professor (Schneider), it's being published by a very reputable journal.
