I kept expecting a Buddhism pitch in the article. It reminded me so much of the opening premise of The Untethered Soul. I'm not too interested in Buddhism specifically, but I have been separating myself from technology more, and It's been great savoring the little moments I used to completely miss.

Vipassana Meditation formalizes this to a large extent and is extremely approachable. I would highly recommend anyone looking at guided meditation to give this a try: https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/index https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/index

  The single best decision of my life was to attend one.

    Can you provide some additional details? In what ways has it helped you? Would you have gotten the same benefits had you done a immersive meditation session outside of that structure?

Seeing that Frees for sure is the one that I suggest people read. Long and slow read where every paragraph seems like I could read it and sit and appreciate what he says before needing to read the next paragraph. Burbea has many talks as well, youtube or on other podcast platforms. Hours and hours and hours of talks that are all so helpful on understanding in the word form. Channel of his talks: https://www.youtube.com/@boubabuddha https://www.youtube.com/@boubabuddha I find this playlist great as a starting point if you want to get into it, and one that I can go back to: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6hhaAzLmioyOxMi8ELPK2fWVA1XOHwB https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6hhaAzLmioyOxMi8ELP...
