Description
Meditation does not always yield positive results.
Joining today to talk us through the ‘Dark Side of Meditation’ is Christine Kupfer.
Medical anthropologist and expert in Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy, Christine breaks down how meditation practice is often perceived as a cure-all for productivity, happiness, spiritual fulfilment.
In reality, people can suffer from experiences of non-shared reality: spiritual crisis.
We explore its many facets, incorporating Buddhist, Christian, Jewish and clinical perceptions to illuminate the significance of improving the literature on these experiences.
