"There seems to be a vacuum in how the West culturally frames meditation – a vacuum that marketers and app companies are happy to fill. Compared to promises that pop culture meditation makes - that you'll be happier, calmer, more productive, better - the simple practice of being aware is a hard sell. The relationship we have with our mind is challenging one, but it is the relationship. If something feels like it's missing, maybe what is really missing is full participation in our experience - resistance, discomfort and all. If we try it, we might discover that this field of awareness is a source of healing, problem solving and kindness."
