I got skeptical when I saw that. These practices are supposed to, from my current understanding, help you see reality clearly by making you more aware of impermanence, dhukka, and not-self.

I don't mind participating or even paying for a retreat, but it seems like they're trying to sell the positive aspects of it too much like it's some spiritual drug. There are quotes on there making comparisons to doing these "jhanna" practices instead of eating another slice of cake?
