"To make this point, Maharishi has used the analogy of dyeing a cloth. If a cloth is alternately dipped into yellow dye, then dried in the sun, it eventually becomes colorfast. If the mind is repeatedly dipped into pure consciousness, then brought out into the action of daily life, both mind and body eventually become fully habituated to that unbounded field of nature's intelligence.

Dr. Rosen also provided an integrative "cure" for colic, an increasingly common problem for newborns—and their parents. "We're seeing more and more babies who have colic," he told me. "Colic is really very specific. It's not just crying, but babies who are really excessively fussy. Parents feel there's nothing they can do; they feel very helpless.
