Meditation Websites
There is an increasing hunger on good information about meditation. But what type of meditation blogs are out there?
Before meditation exploded in popularity, there were very few sites talking about the subject. Even now, most of the sites talking about meditation are either:
- (a) Promoting a single tradition or technique (like WildMind for Buddhist meditations, Mindful.org for mindfulness, SwamiJ for Yoga meditation, Brahma Kumaris for Raja Yoga, etc.);
- (b) Not specialized in meditation in particular, but superficially covering it, together with a ton of other topics (sites like Huffington Post, WakeUp World, LifeHacker, etc.).
When I was thinking of creating LiveAndDare, I saw that there was a need for a site that
- focuses on meditation, but also talks about two sister topics: personal growth and spirituality
- presents meditation in a non-sectarian way, drawing from multiple traditions and not favoring any particular technique
- connects east and west, tradition and science
- exposes complex or obscure concepts in a pragmatic and systematic way.
That is why I created this blog. Fast forwarding to today, LiveAndDare is among the top 3 most popular non-sectarian blogs on meditation (based on traffic stats from Alexa.com).
Top Non-Sectarian Meditation Blogs
The list below was created by searching “meditation blog” on Google, and going through the top 100 results. Then I removed the sites that were not actually blogs, or that were promoting a particular technique or tradition. This is the list of the top 20 non-sectarian meditation blogs, in order of traffic.
