Dear TMN, >> Please could some one expailn what the acronym V.O.M stands for , i may have missed it in a previous post. << V.O.M. stands for "vacancy of mind", also known as "emptiness of mind" (E.O.M.). This is the third mental exercise of Step One of IIH. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 10 Apr 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
