I was never initiated or dedicated myself to a specific practice. I can say today it was a mix of mindfulness and practical Vipassana.
I think one of the things people complain about when it comes to meditation is concentration. I was not one of those people. It came extremely natural to me.
The same for me - I found mindfulness meditation easy and it’s concerning that it comes with all these “relaxation” “stress reduction” “empty your mind” memes. I don’t need that, I need a technique for the opposite of that.
Personally I agree that meditation isn't appropriate for everyone. But a specific issue about Vipassana is that it is marketed as a panacea, though historically it was developed as a practice to make monks out of householders. If it's causing detachment, it's working as intended. Anhedonia is the flip side of the end of suffering.
