This document provides instructions for different meditation techniques and warns about the dangers of "meditation" being sold as a way to manage stress. It then contrasts meditation with Total Stress Management (TSM), explaining that TSM requires more intellectual effort to understand and address the root causes of stress at both individual and social levels. While meditation and relaxation can provide temporary emotional relief, TSM teaches that real change requires wisdom and efforts to solve problems through sound intellectual solutions and policy changes for both personal and social welfare. TSM aims for harmony of mind, emotions, instincts and body, as well as global welfare, but it is a newer concept that has faced delays in acceptance and implementation.
