VedicVibes: Leaving the Box of Modern Spirituality https://www.youtube.com/@Vedicvibesorg Much of what today passes for meditation, yoga, and spirituality no longer challenges anything.

There Is No Going Inside: stop New Age Misleading Language!
Go Inside. Go Inside. Feel inside. Etc. Noooo! There Is Only Watching What Is Rising! Much of contemporary meditation rests on a subtle but decisive mistake.

With Chinese Inner Alchemy we can avoid New Age Fantasies

From Jumps to Presence: How Iyengar Yoga Shaped Modern Ego Yoga
And Why We Must Return to the Yoga of the Inner Body When we look at what most people today call yoga, especially in the United States, we do not see yoga. We see gymnastics with Sanskrit names.

What is Meditation?
What is meditation.....really? A short, sharp analysis! Most of the meditation manuals start with posture, breath counts and schedules: twenty minutes in the morning, twenty in the evening, sit in lotus if you must, repeat the mantra, wait for the quiet mind.
