"Medytacja nie jest mi potrzebna."

Translation: Meditation is not necessary for me.

[RP29]

Is this the sort of construction Polish uses? In English we would say simply "I do not need meditation"

[Jellei]

Both "Medytacja nie jest mi potrzebna"/"Nie jest mi potrzebna medytacja" and "Nie potrzebuję medytacji" are valid constructions.

Hello! How does "potrzebny" differ from "konieczny?"

[alik1989]

Potrzebny literally means needed, whereas konieczny literally means mandatory.

I've checked your construction in the iweb corpus, and it yielded zero results, whereas our main version had 109. You can try it yourself:

NOUN BE not necessary for PRON

vs.

NOUN BE not needed to PRON
