Left his wife and kids to pursue a career in numerology after using the hemi-synch approach to meditative discovery?!?! This does not sound good. Not good at all.

I've found so far that the CD usually but not always causes me to feel very physically and mentally relaxed. My eating patterns seem to be changing, I have suddenly and mysteriously completely lost my inhibition about singing in front of people, and there seems to be more laughter in the house, but whether or not I can attribute this to the meditation CD is not certain. I could as easily claim that astrologically speaking I am receiving beneficial influences from the auspicious juxtaposition of Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter in my sign... I just don't know.

I've never made much headway at unassisted meditating, so this seemed like a good solution - pop in a CD and zone right out. But I do have some doubts, which is why I'm casting out into the Mudcat stream for input. Thanks for the cautionary tale, I'll be on the look out for flaky behavior (but will I know it when I engage in it?)
