• S1E1 - Why Meditation is NOT Boring
    Feb 2 2025
    Notes

    Summary:

    1. Meditation is not doing nothing, it's active.
    2. Meditation is a special cultivation activity, an inner lab and directly working with the mind.
    3. Meditation is not boring, it's painful and frustrating. It can be made better with pre-meditation, attitude, and technique selection. Painful thought patterns can be released by seeing them as feelings, using the breath, and remembering to relax.
    4. Try goodwill meditation.
    5. Make it social.
