“This has turned out to be one of the most powerful and transformative techniques I have ever developed. This is what I do in my events. I am teaching people to access the technology of the future self.”

Meditation is a valuable tool that helps individuals remain calm and composed while living in a world that often feels chaotic.
“I'll do some meditation, take your questions, talk about how this practice can help you stay sane in a world that feels on fire and out of control”

The primary goal of meditation is to enhance one's daily life rather than achieving mastery over the act of meditation itself.
“I do think you're right that we've made meditation what you just said is about becoming good at meditation, which is absolutely irrelevant to life.”
Jay Shetty Podcast · Aug 2025 · 12 episodes · 8.7M views on this topicDiscovering true awareness
The value of meditation lies in realizing the illusory nature of the self and connecting with a deeper, non-conceptual awareness.

The true promise of meditation lies not in its remedial benefits but in the discovery that the sense of self as a thinker is an illusion.
“But from my point of view, the real purpose of meditation and its real promise is not in this long list of of benefits and you know I'm not discounting any of those though you know the science for many of them is quite provisional. It's in this deeper claim that if you look for this thing you're cal”

Meditation is a tool for quieting the mind, but its practice should not become an ego-driven identity.
“The horror is somebody that merely ends up an expert in a method. Who are you? I'm a meditator. Well, that's interesting. How do you do? I'm Dick. Cuz beyond the method the hope is that your method will take you in, make you an absolute fanatic, and then self-destruct. And leave you beyond method.”

Meditation can be approached through different learning styles and quick glimpses, allowing individuals to shift from a small, self-conscious sense of self to an awake, effortless awareness.
“So the pointers are just orient, orienting from a kind of constellation of consciousness that is the habit is to go from thought to thought to create a thinker to look out of the eyes and keep managing that way to unhook, open, drop, and include, and welcome.”

Meditation focuses on developing a neutral, non-judgmental capacity to observe internal states and thoughts without becoming identified…

The purpose of meditation practice is to develop curiosity about one's internal state rather than using the technique to judge oneself or fulfill an ideal.
“the dance in meditation isn't try to fix that but it's to get curious.”
Be Here Now Network · Mar 2026 · 18 episodes · 108K views on this topicThe practice of using the phrase there is a body creates a helpful wide-angle lens framework for meditation that minimizes interference or manipulation of the breath.
“what I found by starting with there is a body it like created a larger framework on which to rest our attention. So rather than the narrowing to a particular point or particular area in the body, this is taking the whole body. It's like the whole body awareness. There is a body.”

Meditation is not about clearing the mind but about changing your relationship with your thoughts by observing them and returning to your focus when your mind wanders.
“It's nothing to do with clearing the mind. It's not about putting yourself in an unconscious state at all. It's about working with your mind.”
