I hate guided meditation... to me this is complete opposite of what meditation should be. You can do this initial few times, but after that, you don't need any voice but your own in your head. That is if you are really doing meditation, if you want to pretend... then headspace yourself. Again, this is my view as someone who actually meditated for like 20+ yrs.

I hate training wheels on my bike... to me this is complete opposite of what riding a bike should be. You can do this initial few times, but after that, you don't need any help but your own sense of balance in your head. That is if you are really riding a bike, if you want to pretend... then continue using training wheels yourself. Again, this is my view as someone who actually rode a bike for like 20+ yrs. --- Comes off a bit snarky, doesn't it? I think I see what you are trying to convey, and wrote the above so that others could get a feel as well, using a more tangible analogy.

  :) It did came out quite a bit snarky. Completely justified criticism. It was late in a day. Oh, and I did rode my bike for more then 20+ years. I can prop it on back wheel and do few stunts even today. Impresses my kids.

    However it came out, I appreciate you sharing your experience and point of view. As someone who is off of training wheels on the bike but still on commercial guided meditation courses, it's great to know that there's a lot more to come.

Based on your tone and use of sarcasm, I'd say your 20 year practice needs work.

  I think you are projecting a lot, just because someone meditate a lot, he is some Yoda like person. I am not. I enjoy meditation and benefits I got from it are numerous. However I am still flawed human being. But on meditation front, I did accomplish quite a lot, during waking hours when you measure my brainwaves, alpha is pronounced like it is with people when they are relaxing. And since English is my second language, I am not sarcastic.
