In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment,' host Scott Snibbe takes you on a mental adventure through the stages of analytical meditation rooted in Tibetan Buddhism's Lamrim teachings. These meditations aren't just about sitting quietly; they use imagination, emotions, and critical thinking to dig deep into life's big questions and cultivate a sense of inner joy and purpose.
