Somatic awareness has improved my learning and problem solving, even though that wasn't my goal. Being in tune with the body seems to develop some sort of muscle memory that feels like an IQ boost.
I suspect forgiveness meditation might be the hidden key to western dharma. We often start with breath (boring) or metta (often blocked for westerners), but forgiveness is both accessible (not an “altered state”) and clears out our deepest wounds. Should be less niche imo
