They are in fact, some of the ones that you listed above. Another claim is improved sleep, and I should say that improved, regular sleep will, itself, correct many sufferings in life, up to and including psychosis, in some cases. Sleep deprivation is a common problem for many people and it may be triggered by loss, grief or some sort of medical condition, but not necessarily any of these. Lack of sleep can exacerbate emotional problems, cause emotional problems and cause concentration problems all throughout your daily activities. Put simply, if it goes on more than a night or two, you can find yourself in a deteriorating emotional and physical state. My "revelation occurred during an introductory lecture to a course of TM or transcendental Meditation, and whist watching the plethora of pseudo graphs illustrations and claims, was when I realized I had heard it all before. TM claims were in fact, common to many other solutions on offer in the wider market place.brahmaviharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882669862432841797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-5820881231533628972015-01-05T17:06:02.357-08:002015-01-05T17:06:02.357-08:00Isn’t it fascinating how the Buddha’s teaching of ...Isn’t it fascinating how the Buddha’s teaching of simplicity, contentment and austerity has morphed into a program for wealth, good sex, self-assertion and making a killing on the stock market; a program that can be made available at very reasonable costs (discounts for groups).
