冥想不一定在坐垫上

Naval 的定义把冥想从坐垫上解放了出来:

Meditation is turning off society and listening to yourself. It only "works" when done for its own sake. Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation. Showering is accidental meditation. Sitting quietly is direct meditation.

扩展了我对Meditations的认识,原来很多种活动能够带来冥想体验。写作也是冥想!核心是与外界隔绝,观察,倾听自己的声音。最后一句 sitting 一开始看成了 shitting,一瞬间联想到 born a crime 里的 shitting 描述😂。shitting 和 showering 都能是 accidental meditation😂。

Journaling is writing meditation 这一条,马可·奥勒留两千年前就在执行:用外语给自己写训练日志,写作与修心是同一个动作,参见 沉思录写作
