Recent studies have confirmed that the constant presence and use of tech in our lives have become a hazard to our well-being on multiple levels.

Meditation teacher, mindful tech designer, and self-identified tech lover Jay Vidyarthi observes, “It’s okay to enjoy technology. Tech becomes a problem when we get so attached to it that our lives fall out of balance—and this happens because a certain device or app or game or even your work email might satisfy a specific, lacking, healthy emotional need.”

So how do we mindfully hold that tension and seek balance in our relationship to technology?

In today’s meditation, Jay leads us through a contemplative practice that can help us dig down and understand our motivations for using tech, while also identifying ways to be more intentional about the why, how, and when of our digital consumption.

If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.
