Letter to the Editor of AVS (Audio Visual Stimulation) Journal,
(submitted June, 2002)
Dear editor,
In my article "inventing Shakti", I mentioned that one of the effects produce by repeated sessions using
Shakti was a "reduction of depression".
It should be known that referred to a "self-reported" effect, and that no medical claims should be construed
from it. I am 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,
