The ‘new age’ proclivity tends to employ silent sitting as a form of ‘tuning out’. This has nothing in common with shi-nè. - Tracts of the Sun

“The ‘new age’ proclivity tends to employ silent sitting as a form of ‘tuning out’. This is a spiritualised form of introversion – a soporific withdrawal from life. This has nothing in common with shi-nè – so it is quite possible that many ‘new age meditators’ merely sit in a state of blankness.”
