Negative Positive
Title: no
Review: imho the intense focus on physical sensations, excluding observation of feeling states, thought, externals, makes this method unbalanced. creates freak-outs in many who attend the 10day 'course.' the stated goal of equanimity seems not actual goal. didn't need my body to 'disappear.' technique seems mired in cultivating bliss-states (as opposed to clarity) while claiming contrary. confusing and confused. looked great on the surface. beneath surface theory and methodology revealed is rigid, doctrinaire--counter to it's own claims and counter to true dharma. cultish. keep looking. I also want to add, (November 18, 2010) that a lot of the glowing reviews here are written by the 'true believers' and repeat retreat attendees and supporters. That's fine. Just read between the lines and decide for your self.
Is the review positive or negative?
