Siegel reports that participants often experience expanded consciousness and relief from anxiety and fear; some compare the experience to taking psychedelics.

Chapters

We do a practice called the Wheel of Awareness, where we do this. I do this every day. Expanding consciousness, where the knowing of awareness is in represented in a metaphor of the hub of a wheel. The knowns are on the rim and we take a singular spoke and move it around. And after doing this with many people, the experience they get has been compared to taking psychedelics. Even though it's just a 25 minute meditation. They get this expanded sense of reality, expanded sense of identity, expanded sense of consciousness. There's this relief from all sorts of things, anxiety, fear of death that comes with tapping into this pure awareness of the hub.
