❓ Common Questions
There's no single "best" technique—it depends on your experience and needs. Vipassana and Yoga Nidra are often particularly valuable for integration. Start with what feels accessible and explore from there.
Yes, especially after psychedelic experiences. This is normal and often part of the integration process. Work with a teacher and don't push too hard. Ground when needed.
Wait at least 24-48 hours before intensive practice. Light, grounding practices like walking meditation can be helpful sooner. Listen to your body and don't rush back to deep practice.
Both have value. Guided can help beginners and provide structure. Unguided develops self-reliance and deeper practice. Many practitioners use a mix of both.
