I mean samatha/vipassana or whatever.

I encounter things relevant to atheism sometimes when I meditate.

    I’ll keep my own council, thanks anyway.

    What’s your meditation technique?

      Well, you offered advice, I returned the favour. I do progressive muscle relaxation.

        Interesting. How effective is it compared to, say, a massage, hot-tub or vicodin?

          I’ve never taken vicodin, I only know it exists from English-language media and the internet. PMR does entirely different things than a massage or a hot bath. It’s a very active process to achieve a different body feel and more awareness of your body while also calming your mind. I don’t really feel qualified to explain what it does because I still need loads of practice and I only got what the point is after I had practical training.

              Some. I’m better able to deal with stressful situations by applying PMR. Still don’t sleep. But I also should practice more often.
