It’s hard to find people who do. There isn’t a meditation community here so I made one ( !meditation@leminal.space )

Meditation is pretty great.

    I like to say I try to meditate at times. Worse case I occasionally relax with deep breaths. I think its a good thing to do when opportunities come. Any time im not doing anything in particular I tray. Riding a train, waiting rooms, etc. I don’t use a smartphone so likely more opportunities for me than most these days. I don’t do it or anything in a disciplined structural way.

      Trying to meditate is meditating. Meditating is trying to empty your mind, in the same way doing pushups is trying to do 1000 pushups.

      Trying is meditation, and meditation is trying. In the same way that trying is lifting weights, and lifting weights is trying. The effort is the meditation.

      You don’t use a smartphone? What do your friends say? What about maps? What weirdness do you encounter by taking this course?

        Im from a time before them. I don’t need maps to get around day to day as I know my local area. I do have a tablet when going somewhere strange instead of using a paper map although I still often just look at it before I leave and remember. My family and friends know the best way to contact me is email or voice call. The wierdness I encounter is corps and businesses in general. From banks to doctors offices to rewards programs they all try to shove apps down your throat which ticks me off pretty highly.
