How to meditate properly


Recommended Posts

Carl Jung used to have patients color Mandala's as a form of stress relief and to focus. And with Art Therapy being widely used in all sort of therapy settings it's not really as bullshit as you think. Seriously I challenge you to either color or draw something for 15 minutes, and just focus on what you are doing and see how you feel.

To be fair, I got a lot out of Zentangle as a practice, and art in general - from coloring to paper modeling - has the same time-dilating, brain-clearing effect that meditation had when I practiced it semi-regularly.

I think coloring is relaxing, in the same way as knitting. Slow repetitive movements that engage hand and eye coordination are meditative. They've given coloring books to Alzheimer patients fir years, about time other people caught on. Though I'd still rather go for a walk.

It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
