About

About Inner Inquiry

A weekly publication on consciousness, meditation, breath, philosophy, psychology and neuroscience.

Our Purpose

Inner Inquiry is an independent publication exploring the intersections of ancient wisdom and modern science. We ask deeper questions about how human beings experience consciousness, practice contemplative attention, and understand the mind.

Our prose aims to be human, curious, and accessible, in plain language, without hype. We clearly distinguish traditional teachings, philosophical arguments, scientific evidence, emerging research, and open speculation.

One thoughtful inquiry each week. No marketing hype, no invented credentials, and no unsupported therapeutic claims.

The newsletter is written by Rishi B.

About the author

Rishi B. writes INNER INQUIRY. Each issue starts from a primary text, read in a named translation, and from peer reviewed research, usually systematic reviews and randomised trials. Every source is linked at the end of the article, and every claim carries one of five evidence labels.

INNER INQUIRY is for education and curiosity, not medical advice. If you spot an error, reply to any letter and we will correct it on the page.

How claims are labeled
