MIXING THE MIND (PDF-1610)

I have pointed out that one shortcut to practicing meditation is to piggyback on areas of your life where you already have achieved focus and concentration. I found it in computer programming, and video editing, but it could be anything: playing chess, tying flies, doing crossword puzzles, and so on, wherever you find yourself spending real time concentrating and focusing the mind. You already have some discipline. Some of you have messaged me asking how to convert this discipline into meditation practice. The best part is that you don’t have to add anything more to your schedule, but just approach where you are already concentrating a little differently. Aside from photography, I did this mostly with computer programming, so I will use that as my example.
