You may not know that meditation is actually about… familiarizing.
When we thought meditation was sitting on a cushion in a certain posture focusing on something, like the breath, the third eye, the sensations etc. – or having no mind at all, or going through a liturgy, or reciting a mantra, what meditation actually means, is to ‘familiarize with.’
About getting to know ourselves, becoming familiar with our innermost core
Turning our mind inwardly, looking at our thoughts and emotions how they appear and disappear like waves in the ocean, is about getting to know ourselves, becoming familiar with our innermost core.
Once we understood it to become familiar with who we really are, we could extend our meditation practice to anything where in the observant silence we could feel our truest essence. We could paint, bake, watch a film, play the piano or tennis, etc.
After all, meditation doesn’t need to be the pious, solemn act that we may make it to be.
It can be as ordinary as listening to subtle music or watching glitches forming strange confluences.
