Really interesting and gripping
Thought this was a really interesting, gripping and well told story about the risks involved, for some people, in this type of meditation. The journalist makes clear they are rare but also devastating when they do happen. From reading about the organisation involved they have also clearly helped a lot of people, which isn’t being disputed, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that they there should be more awareness of risks for people getting involved and the need for better training and safeguarding procedures for staff. Some of the people criticising seem to be very defensive which is a shame as that prevents inclusivity and progression and a positive way forward for everyone.
