Hi Karen,

Thanks for sharing that article on neurofeedback. It is very
interesting that they used mri neurofeedback as an example. I cant
imagine a more expensive or difficult to find form of NF :-) ah
well. see how well behaved I was ?

Re the shakti and increasing blood flow. Thanks for having pity on
me. Not to worry though, over the years I have gotten used to
getting no answers sometimes. I am wondering if we are pulling blood
from other parts of the brain and what kind of effect this has in
the long run (or short run for that matter).

Meg
