Making Sense of Meditation

​A Q&A with Chin about the mechanics of meditation: non-meditators, beginners, and advanced practitioners are welcome alike.

​We can talk about technique, troubleshooting, handling resistance, physical or mental pain, understanding when meditation is a bad idea, what the actual endgame of having a practice is, what on earth ‘awakening’ refers to - anything ranging from choosing the right practice to trying out esoteric interpretations of suffering.

​We will, however, skip history, philosophy, and traditional theory for this session, and approach all inquiry with the practical orientation of lived experience.
