The way I meditate is by being organised. I can get real Zen if I go home and tidy the front room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have one room dedicated to just meditation.
I'm a lapsed Zen Buddhist. I've read hundreds of books on Zen, I meditated daily for about fifteen years, and once spent a month studying with Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh.
There's something Zen-like about the way I work - it's like raking gravel in a Zen Buddhist garden.
Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, it's important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing.
I meditate so I know how to find a peaceful place within to be calm and peaceful.
I meditate, which I really like. Just 20 minutes twice a day and that really helps.
If you take an hour out of your day to meditate, you will progress ten-fold. By staying mentally focused, you can let your worries go.
I can meditate anywhere, anytime, even whilst talking to you.
I don't meditate in any formal way, but I often lie in bed or find myself in nature and enter into that state of quiet where I get images, feelings, or melodies.
The best way to meditate is through meditation itself.
