Based on the comments here, Nostr is absolutely lit when it comes to meditation.

Nostr really has a great group of users. Only those who care about themselves will care about Bitcoin and Nostr. Meditation.
Makes sense
If #manifestation coincides with #meditation, I’m in.
Waking Up app is recommended for theory and practice nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a
I’ll second this. Waking Up is really great for both those reasons.
Yes, I do also but hard to explain because its different than what most people call meditation
I missed this. Thanks for boosting.đź’ś
I’m surprised how many Vipassana meditators there are on here!
10 day sits are life changing for a lot of people
Burmese meditation right in Burma/Yangon!
I worry about conflation on 'kinds' of meditation. Spiritual materialism runs amuck in the western world.
There are ancient methods adapted to suit our language and conditioning, and there are watered down gimicky substitutes. You seem like someone who would appreciate the former.
Inner metaphysical seekers of self.

Sam Harris waking up app introduction series was well worth my time when I started years ago, also comes with a ton of good interviews. The “style” is vipassana ish.
Love this question.
I stumbled on meditation in my early 20s and I’ve been lucky to have continued (although somewhat hap-hazardly at times), for the last 40 years, and can honestly say it’s one of the biggest blessings in my life. Dramatically helped me in business and in my personal life. And now it helps me to be a much more , calm, centered, excellent portfolio manager.
My main technique is sitting upright and doing a long slow breathing meditation:
with seven second inhalation, three second hold, and then at least 10 to 12 second exhalation .
(There’s great science around the benefits of using a longer exhalation than inhalation.)
Also I simply observe my breath and label the inhalation anything once soluble that has a positive connotation such as “love”. And the exhalation labeled with a different word that is one syllable, such as “peace”.
Both of these techniques come from lineages in the yoga traditions that are many centuries old and have stood the test of time.
Hope you get excellent results from whatever you’re doing in this great exploration into meditation.
