Dear Jack,
Well, I suspect the author may be more familiar with chiropractic than
Vedanta--he seems to have written many articles on this interesting
Chiropractic website. But I personally found his comments on the possible
background connections between the two fascinating and his argument
compelling. Makes sense to me, since it is fairly common to have both back
problems and Chiropractic adjustments trigger K activity.
I feel that the more health practitioners become aware of K, the better!
Given the very likely possibility Chiropractors can set K off, I think the
article was a wonderful introduction to the subject for the Chiropractic
community, despite the possible errors in Eastern philosophy.

It's an interesting comment by Rosenthal, though! :)) If Hatha yoga sets K
off--and it seems to have been the trigger in my case-- and Chiropractic
adjustments set off K, then what, really is the difference? People spend
their whole life desiring a K experience, but it seems that it happens only
when the person is ready--often quite spontaneously without any spiritual
practice.
Love, Hillary
