If you would like to progress quickly along the spiritual path through meditation, do not go to a Vipassana retreat.
\nDo not practice transcendental meditation.
\nDo not learn from a teacher whose central teaching is mindfulness.
\nThese are all inferior methods that will likely slow down your progress for years, leave you stuck in meditative eddies, leave you feeling frustrated, and will likely lead to you giving up on meditation as a transformational practice.
\nI have seen this happen to too many people.
\nThere are many far better options for learning how to meditate.
\nFor the sake of all beings,
\nHeed these words of caution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
