Let Us Begin by Meditating
We live in societies that simultaneously spread us thin and overexert us. Byung Chul Han argues that our societies allow us to be hyper-connected and, at the same time, put pressure on us to be highly productive. Dispersion precipitates superficial relationships, and overexertion leads to unhealthy and damaging relationships. In this booklet we present meditation as a spiritual practice that helps us to focus on the present, lessening dispersion and enabling more profound relationships, reducing overexertion and engendering healthier relationships.
