Why ‘Ignorance is Bliss’ Keeps You Stuck in Old Loops
They say “ignorance is bliss.” But what if that bliss is just predictability, the mind looping the same patterns, even when they keep us stuck?
In this episode, we explore Thomas Gray’s famous line from 1742 alongside Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras to uncover a deeper truth: ignorance (avidyā) isn’t freedom. It’s the root of suffering. And meditation? Meditation is the antidote.
Whether you’re brand new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice… if you’ve ever said, “That’s just how I am,” or snapped at someone you love and felt guilty after, this is for you.
This episode will help you see how mindfulness can break old patterns to open the way toward healing.
