Presence Perception and Assumptions
The concept of presence is explored, questioning the perception influenced by meditation and mindfulness practices that aim at quieting the mind. While these practices suggest a transcendent state where only specific experiences are allowed, the podcast challenges the belief that presence entails quietness or peacefulness, emphasizing that such notions may be conditioned by external influences rather than personal experiences.
