Normally, no sane person likes to be manipulated and guided by fraudsters. Unfortunately, such cases are not new, though the world today is really more confused than ever before. To save yourself in the search for the right teachers, for the beginning simply pay attention to a couple of big, but (at first glance) hidden, details:
– how a person lives
– what he or she allowed other persons to do to his or her body, spirit and soul, and what he or she still does
– what is he or she talking about
– how he or she acts today
– what his or her personal steps have brought him or her and whether he or she has learned new lessons of wisdom from his or her own pain
– where his and her gentleness and rudeness are today
And you will easily recognize a charlatan from a true sage, or teacher.
And in this way you will put in the right places the answers to what is right and what is false meditation.
It is the same with a teacher of Yoga, meditation, spirituality, or any science (or rather, truth) that teaches about the layers of the human body, spirit, mind, or soul.
There are countless offerings today. But that does not mean that it is impossible to meditate today and that anyone can meditate if he knows what he is doing and what he really wants.
It is only up to you to know whether there is such thing as real or false meditation and only by practicing.
