Giuseppe Fattori's insight:
"What’s curious is the way that a spiritual, contemplative practice has been turned into a quasi-medical treatment, or even just part of a vague lifestyle choice. Meditation has the potential to turn your life upside down. It might be good - or it might be far more than you bargained for."
This article is worth reading if you have concerns about practicing meditation. I experienced some difficult times during my initial years of learning to be a meditator, as I wrote about in Choosing To Be, so I am aware of the potential pitfalls. If you have concerns, it makes sense to choose your teacher and the type of meditation you want to practice carefully. It may also be helpful to have access to a therapist you can work with if you need to.
