Meditation

💼Looking for work💼 I'm currently open to new opportunities in hands-on architecture, management, and/or innovation work with LLMs. Please contact me on my LinkedIn if interested.

Many forms of meditation that I have practiced are about turning the mind on itself, so that the mind can either analyze and understand itself, or so that the mind can modify itself. Not all meditations have this focus -- for example, many meditations are simply used for relaxation.

Metacognition has many benefits. It leads to a heightened awareness of the self; increases emotional control; and deepens empathy and compassion. It's a skill worth developing.

My main form of seated practice is Zazen, with a healthy dose of Dzogchen thrown in.
