Vincent Horn described the a recent episode of Buddhist Geeks as a departure for the podcast. He explained he would be monologuing to explain the Jhāna Drama.

What follows is a fascinating critique of the start-up Jhourney which plans to help practitioners enter a blissful meditative state rapidly and repeatedly through biofeedback.
