The Science & Spirit of Meditation
You've heard about it your whole life. You've probably tried it. Maybe it “didn't work.” Here's what nobody told you: you weren't doing it wrong. You just didn't have the foundation.
Meditation is not one thing. It's a family of practices, each designed for a different kind of mind, a different kind of need, a different kind of life. You don't have to choose them all. You just have to find yours.
- ◆The real definition: meditation was never about stopping thoughts

- ◆A map of 12+ types: Mindfulness, TM, Loving-Kindness, Vipassana, Yoga Nidra, Zen, mantra, contemplative prayer, Sufi practice, Qigong, Indigenous practice, and visualization
- ◆Enough working knowledge of each to know where to start, and why
