12. Saying or Praying

Envision yourself meditating. Seriously. In this vision, have you sprouted a 10-inch beard and teleported to the edge of a forlorn mountainside? The arts of meditation and prayer are so foreign to our existence that they're either too vague or too specific to grasp — do we need an app or a New Age album or nothing or...?
In this episode, Adam and Dovid discuss praying vs. just saying, meditating or just standing by a wall — and lots of the in-betweens.  What can different practices aiming towards accessing something sublime mean — or do? — for us in a usual day in our usual head.
