5. Ah, so modern science begins to catch up with

the yogis with their pranayama.

Actually, this does give possible new insight into those ancient practices.

A few weeks ago I enrolled in a course/program from NeuroGym, which is run by John Assaraff. It's based entirely on neuroscience and consists primarily of lectures, audiotapes to listen to daily that are simply wild, homework, and some other stuff. The first week's audiotape made me into a different person and even changed my handwriting! I was elated. My handwriting had gotten irrepressibly sloppy and nearly unreadable, and by the end of that week it was back to my normal old handwriting for the first time in a couple of years. The program has had a very positive effect on my life overall I think I need to go back and listen to Week 1 some more.
