Episode notes
Daily Meditations At Yortia's Couch
- Blindboy describes daily meditations at Yortia's Couch where he used his bike wheel as a seat for years.
- He recounts peak experiences there, including deep empathy with a nettle and seeing his dead father briefly after meditation.
Practice Noticing Discomfort
- Meditate to notice and sit with discomfort rather than avoiding it.
- Use focused attention on sensations to cultivate an 'otherworldly sense of peace'.
Meditation Reveals And Releases Hidden Grief
- Meditation can surface and release deep emotions, sometimes framed by vivid imagery.
- Blindboy interprets such visuals (father, otter) as the brain communicating emotional release, not supernatural events.
