I would say, as a radical, that all the stuff your parents ensured you were prepared with. Like being worried about this and afraid about that. Is nonsense.
You could challenge every single and basic assumption you take for granted. As a society we wear pants. My goodness how we start to identify as pants.
What preconceptions are you preconceiving today?
If you ask me, all of them are in a sense, limited by comparison to the fullness of da life.
Mwuah!

Monks say that THERE is a right way to meditate. While usually Westerners say, "there's no right way to meditate, do what you like". I'm not asking about which you believe. Rather:
I'm curious, what are the monks actually teaching? Is there someone who actually was at an temple and learned from a monk? What was something they treated as, "you must do this, if you don't, then you're not doing it right"? What was important to the practice of meditation? Especially for beginners of course.

Curious to hear y'alls opinion?
EDIT: I guess you would not know if you are being brainwashed, since that is the whole idea of successful brainwashing.

Or could it be inappropriate? For example, instead of meditating and watching your breath, could you reflect on your deepest needs and desires – the issues that somehow block your life and bother you daily?

If mindfulness is not continuous, then it will not have any effect, will we not reap the benefits? Is it necessary to cultivate mindfulness 24 hours a day? How do you usually practice? Could you share your thoughts and insights on this?

Hi! I've been doing TM for 6 months now, to varying degrees of consistency. I try 20m every day. Before TM I tried the "normal" breathwork/mindfulness type for 3 months.
I recently changed upon Joe Dispenza's work and read that the type of meditation he advocates helps with trauma healing and visualisation.
I've tried reading stuff online but the detail seems be lost.
Anyone here has experience with Dispenza's meditation techniques? How does it work and what would you say are the differences?
TM has helped me improve my overall calmness and mental clarity. Interested to see if D meditation ca ..read more

Do you think it is inappropriate to make judgments during practice? Why would it be an inappropriate attitude? What would be the problems?

It's not necessary that your buddhist. I'd actually prefer a mix of secular and buddhist online friends.
I've been practicing the jhanas and have gotten to point where I've seen at least a single nimmita. I'm looking to extend it. Dm me

A mala is a string of beads that is customarily used in Buddhism and Hinduism, among other spiritual traditions, for prayer and meditation. In Sanskrit, the word "mala" means "garland." Malas are frequently connected to the mantra meditation and prayer tradition, in which the wearer counts each bead on the mala while repeating a particular mantra or chant.
