Disclaimer:-

Meditation is generally considered a safe activity. It is mainly an exercise in relaxation and collectedness. The way we teach meditation is to soften and relax.

We require a willingness to use our powers of observation in order to engage in self-study and examination.

If you have a history of mental illness, then please consult with your health care provider before learning meditation. This is not to say that meditation will be harmful to you, but it's better to be on the safe side.
