I've been doing Sudarshan Kriya regularly along with my TM/TM-sidhi program for 15 years now. I really enjoy the technique. It pushes prana into your body and purifies it. Some TMer's like it and some can't stand it. What I like about the Art of Living organization is SSRS and the contact I've had with him. It took me a while to let go around him because I was so used to the formality of MMY and the TMO. But he's the bee's knees! > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
