What’s wrong with meditation? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Is meditation a tool to help you be more productive or an ancient practice for expanding consciousness?
Is personal growth really just another way to escape the discomfort and uncertainty of life?
And can peace only be experienced once we’ve accomplish all of our goals?
Today my wife Alyson and I share another coffee date where we talk about what has drawn me into decades of spiritual practice. There’s the good and the not so good. So why do I keep doing it after all these years?
In this conversation:
- Why has Tripp been a meditator for over 20 years?
- Being a control freak to avoid vulnerability
- Taoism, Buddhism, and Tai Chi
- Ken Wilber
- Goenka Vipassana Meditation retreats
Plus:
- The shadow side of spirituality
- Seeking an escape from the BS of life
- “Not everything my brain tells me is true.”
- Accessing a deep state of peace
- What the high achievers/biohackers are missing
