The feedback device I love is a continuous glucose monitor because it’s like a video game where the enemy is glucose spikes and you try to shoot them down by avoiding the foods that cause them.
What totally changed my meditation was having a Thai masseuse work my ribcage. Breathing is so much fun I now meditate for multiple twenty minute periods every day.
If I understand correctly, and please correct me if I'm not; meditation is part of the Hindu religion and so, since I'm not a Hindu but part of another religion, meditation should be off the table for me.
exactly - my religious practices tell me to pray - i wonder how much this device is conditioning agent and whoever wrote the algorithm is the one conditioning me. it would be interesting to see if prayer plays and equal benefit as those get from meditation.
That is silly reasoning. Meditation is the tool that trains your concentration and your ability to go within which will strengthen the power of your prayer and can allow to have mystical experiences if you go far enough with it. It belongs to all religious traditions
Hi Paul, thanks for the question. This is a bigger topic which I cannot answer here (and I am not qualified to properly address). However, meditation can be secular, which is how I do it. It is unrelated to any spiritual or religious beliefs. It is a practice for building focus in the mind like going down the gym. You could listen to the first interview with Ariel Garten from Muse (ua-cam.com/video/SgldfuLttSo/v-deo.html) where she talks about mediation in general. It should not conflict with any religious beliefs.
@@1980sDude I doubt that; it's probably more accurate to say that meditation is a form of prayer... depending on what you mean by meditation: not emptying your mind but contemplating on some aspect or the Almighty or on a religious text.

I should design a continuous ex-wife monitor.
Ive won. All my ex wifes are still around me and I love their company. My wife also like them.
Btw I am waiting for a poo tracker.
Hi Gaby, thanks for sharing. I am with you on that. More data is always good. Watching and avoiding glucose spikes seems a great idea.

Did you pay for a "happy ending?"
@@jimdandy8996 No, I thought it might throw my fitness tracker, oura ring, Muse, or Apple watch out of whack.
Hi Gaby, thanks for sharing. Not something I have tried.
Very interesting, thank you Richard!
Thanks for sharing Richard.
Hey Ron, thanks!
Awesome video, I was looking for that😉!
Hi Paulo, thanks! I hope that you found it helpful.
For me, allowing rather than trying to get rid of the repetitive thoughts that disturb my piece of mind is more helpful.
Hi Gaby, thanks for sharing. I find that my repetitive thoughts are not the useful ones, so trying to notice them and avoid them works better for me.
