If you are stressed out from your job and turn to some capitalism mindfullness sponsered by Google(TM) with the (of course) unstated goal to have you functioning again I'm not surprised. Meditation can be a delicate thing that has positive great effects if applied correctly but it's also a tool for sects since forever. I really like the vipassana medition approach but the whole ideology around it and the things they'll tell you on the retreat turned me off. Even if you do it for yourself without any objective target it can get worse as you may realize it's actually like in your surpressed fears. Be careful what you subscribe to.
