Letting Go Gives Us Freedom
Q: my question is about your description of meta and prayer, and that it seemed like you were using those two words interchangeably. Is meta the same as prayer, or a different kind of prayer?
Meta is a form of prayer with its own language and structure, aimed at sending energy to oneself and others; it is essentially both similar to and distinct from traditional prayer, offering a guided form to cultivate compassion.
