Most American homeless have psychiatric problems or major substance abuse problems...however, the naive teacher claims...
The benefits the activities bring are often the hardest for those living an uncertain life on the streets to attain.
They include relaxation and suppleness, and improved mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Improving the posture is of particular benefit, as it helps to minmise many of the normal aches and pains caused by sleeping rough.
Yup. and it's probably cheaper than finding them a bed...
But the mindset behind this kind of nonsense is not only absurd, but dangerous...
"I think it is important to look at a person as a whole. Homeless people are the worst off and most disadvantaged people.
"If you have somebody who is in a terrible way physically, with something like tuberculosis, then something like meditation can make them feel better inside."
Yup....
But when you catch TB from them, maybe YOU won't feel so well....
Doctor Koch, call your office....
