With mindfulness currently being adopted en masse there are still populations living on the “fringe” of mainstream society within which contemplative practice is difficult to access. This lecture at Smiths College, part of their Cyborg Buddha series, explores the barriers to entry, emerging technologies and how the Muse technology could support the further democratization of contemplative practice and mindfulness in our society.
We live in an age of nonstop “busyness” were technology is a natural part of our everyday lives, leading to distraction and a sense of disconnect for many caught in the hustle of it all. Is there a way to use technology to help us live more balanced and connected lives?
