The article critiques the portrayal of meditation in HBO's "White Lotus" Season 3, highlighting a stark contrast between genuine mindfulness practices and characters' superficial engagement. While the show's depiction spotlights wellness trends, such as meditation and rituals, many characters fail to engage meaningfully, preferring distraction through alcohol and indulgence. The author, a meditation teacher, advocates for a deeper understanding of meditation that encompasses discomfort and shared experiences, emphasizing its accessibility and the importance of sincerity in practice, beyond trendy interpretations often associated with the wellness industry.
Real meditation isn't about instant calm-it's about staying with the discomfort.
Mindfulness sticks better when it's shared-practice with a group, a friend, or your family.
You don't need a resort or guru-just five minutes and permission to be imperfect.
The guests flirt with awareness, then run the other way. Wellness sessions are slotted between drinking and lying.
