Ironically, this is an actual spiritual Buddhist meditation practice. I fell down this rabbit hole a while back and came across a guy called David McMahon who is a religious studies professor with a background in Buddhism. He’s got a couple of lectures that are up on YouTube and he’s written a few books about the relationship between modern Western meditation and traditional Buddhist practices.
It’s super interesting and non-prescriptive and very clearly not huckster bullshit.
That is super interesting I’m gonna check that out, thanks!
