The Natural Stress Relief program has always been based on experimental validation. The first version of NSR was tested on people who had some experience with meditation. Later versions were tested with the general public. We have more recently conducted and published scientific research measuring the decrease of anxiety and the increase in self-actualization produced by NSR.
Accordingly, Dr. Fabrizio Coppola, president and director of Istituto Scientia, and the founder of NSR, recently reviewed our experience offering NSR Advanced Techniques to those who have been practicing NSR for a year or more.
He realized that they are counterproductive. Instead of improving the experience of meditation and its benefits in daily life, more often than not it has created difficulty in the innocence amd effortlessness necessary for transcending. We are so used to applying effort to gain success that lengthening the NSR mantra tended to generate effort, analysis, and trying.
In accordance with our principle of offering the best in personal development, Dr. Coppola has decided not to continue offering NSR Advanced Techniques to our clients.
As president of NSR/USA and the sole teacher of the NSR Advanced Techniques, I completely agree with his decision and have changed www.nsrusa.org to omit any mention of them. Rather than a loss, I view this as a positive step in ensuring maximum benefits from the practice of NSR.
To those of you who are currently practicing an NSR Advanced Technique, please continue to do so if you find it completely effortless and of benefit. If not, please return to the basic NSR technique.
