Good day, Mike, peace to you...
You asked good questions.
Our techniques are checked up as individually, and at group work.
In both cases there is a precise repeatability of results (emotional self-sensations and other results, accompanying meditations).

The methods of an initial level similar to ours are known for many people.

Probably, you will set one more good question:
Where differences of your school from others?

We not only know methods of meditation.
We completely realized all principles of spiritual self-realization of the man, which in different time were informed by the God to the man.
This work conducts not as "work of the scientists interested by bioenergy, aura and functions of chakras", but as the people sincerely aspiring to the God, carrying out His doctrine.
Only in such work probably His real knowledge.
