Spirituality & The Brain (Home Page)
Letter to the Editor of AVS (Audio Visual Stimulation) Journal.
NOTE: The AVS Journal is no longer published.
(submitted June 2002)
Dear editor,
In my article “inventing Shakti”, I mentioned that one of the effects produced by repeated sessions using Shakti was a “reduction of depression”.
It should be known that this referred to a “self-reported” effect, and that no medical claims should be construed from it. I’m a researcher, not a clinician. The word depression has entered our common, vernacular speech, and it is in that sense that I used the word.
Shakti is not intended to diagnose or treat medical or psychiatric disorders.
Thank you,
Todd Murphy.
