"The short answer is that in 2009 I started a fist fight in a French Quarter bar over some jambalaya, a steamy kiss, and a stray comment I didn’t take fondly" - the author should seriously consider the possibility that their later issues had more to do with whatever led to this episode in the first place than with meditation, which is not a magic cure all. People are not likely to think themselves in or out of psychosis, although there can be a triggering even for onset of symptoms that would emerge anyway. Better understanding of the underlying condition can lead to better treatment, likely with Western medicine and therapy, possibly also with meditation/yoga tailored to these symptoms. Relaxing is generally good for you, seeking intense experiences with one is already on edge is counterproductive.
