Kudos Bruce!

You've "called a spade a spade"! Many of your skeptical colleagues would do well to follow your example of sticking to the subject.

Rob, if you're still listening, I know of two members of SSE who are CAM (Complementary/Alternative Medicine) experts. If you're interested, I can provide contact info (with their permission), and perhaps they can recommend selected useful therapies to you.

Bruce is right about meditation techniques. I practiced TM for several years to reduce work-related stress. It helped a whole lot, and started me on the path that now causes me to challenge so-called skeptics with the zest that I do.

Re. meditation: Per the old Yiddish saying, "Couldn't hurt!" It is an ancient and revered practice in all major cultures that I know of. It hasn't been around for so long for no reason. Prayer is one form.
