A.C.Y.A.
I was talking to a friend about my next blog post. It's the one in which I talk about varies ways to do simple deep breathing exercises. Being very supportive, he has provides lots of helpful feedback - usually over the phone, sometimes by email; but he never writes them in this blog's comment section - where I would prefer it (hint, hint).
Anyway, he says that I should post a disclaimer before giving instructions on how to do anything. "A - C - Y - A!!" he shouted into the phone the last time we talked. "Always cover your ass! God forbid that some one with a serious condition tries something you write about and winds up in a comma or something .... even if there's no liability, you'll feel awful when you hear about it... and believe me you will hear about it, 'cause people just love to talk 'bout that kinda stuff." He's a lawyer "want-a-be" with a flair for the dramatics. Still he makes a good point.
Now while I think the chances of that sort of thing happening are one in a hundred million, I am posting the following disclaimer just in case someone uses some piece of information I provide inappropriately. Please read it before trying anything talked about on in this blog or in any other blog, website, podcast, CD, DVD, video, or book, that I may recommend.
