I don't know much about sam harris, but this is a no bullshit meditation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5oIEKjMdmA&ab_channel=EverythingisEverything I too dislike the woo angles of a lot of yoga, meditation and mindfulness stuff. Each to their own, but it breaks the sense of peace I get from guided meditation.

A friend taught me a simple breath exercise, which you can do anytime, be aware of how your lungs behave of course, but she said, 5 in 9 hold and 7 out. Which are arbitraty measures of time you count in your head. I try and count seconds, but it's more important you do it and not feel like you're struggling at any stage so go at your own pace obviously.
