I think it's funny people object to paying for training but are willing to so much other shit in their lives like technology that will be half the price a year later.
The choice of reducing your stress for life for a 1 time fee is a no brainer to me. People spend more money on physical fitness for the same reasons - reduce health issues due to stress.
It is a foundation that helps others, pays the teachers and for spaces to do group meditation and workshops.
For my money I got 4 days of training. The first day was a beautiful ritual whereby you get your mantra. The following days were group classes where they explain the scientific and physical aspects, taking questions from people who may be suffering.
That itself was the best part - seeing people trying to better themselves.
- Right, so you paid $800-ish to get a mantra and be in a room with people asking some questions?nb
- I actually buy very little tech, btw, and I question why everyone around me does.
- sent from my 2011 MBPnb - I have a bunch of friends who done the classes, they all have enjoyed the training and don't believe it was any kind of scam.Noggin
- I guess my issue with it is that the barrier to entry is higher than it should be for a very specific form of meditation.jtb26
- When in reality the techniques employed are very similar to other varieties and can be learned for no cost but will have as much benefit.jtb26
