Transcendental
Meditation
Book Warns of
Dangers
Walt
Larimore, a physician and co-author of Alternative Medicine: The Christian
Handbook, says a recent Washington Post article that
praised Transcendental
Meditation failed to describe the potential emotional damage shown
to be associated with the practice.
"One
study showed that almost half of those that were active as
transcendental meditation trainers reported episodes of anxiety,
depression, and confusion, while some of them have frustration, mental
and physical tension. . . It was really dramatically negative." He also
notes another study documenting psychiatric hospitalizations and
attempted suicides among practitioners. He added that TM, by opening the
mind, makes it vulnerable to evil spirits. (Mary Rettig, Agape Press, 1/18/05)
