I have significant experience with meditation, and I tend to agree with Lieberman in this article. Trying to pin Megan's condition on meditation alone is sort of like blaming your mother for lifting up the carpet to find that's where you hid the mess.
- seigando 6y agoAlso of note in this article is that the hospital drugged her until she appeared cheerful....and then released her. I think this article actually says more about the state of mental health care in this country than problems with meditation. That's not to say there aren't any, but it doesn't seem like this article summarizes it very well, so I will: Insufficient mental frameworks and support structures coupled with deep meditative experiences can lead people to harm themselves. That's pretty much the main conclusion I've received from here, but surprise, lots of people harm themselves without meditation too. Maybe this is part of America waking up to how messed up it is underneath it all.
