Its funny, just yesterday I was talking on Facebook about meditative hooping on my lunch break as something to pad the shift from my 3 day weekend to my workweek. Then I said, usually, when I plan to meditate, I end up in an all out jam, and when I plan to jam, it turns out more…meditative lol. Then I came to think, that they are one in the same. I’ve done “creative visualization” meditations, worked on positive thinking and thinking in abundance. I’ve even gone down the path of Chakras and self hypnosis and any other “New Age” practice I could find or can think of. For me, it all boils down to the same thing. We do what we do to make peace with ourselves and cope with our environment. If a crazy thumping hoop jam session comes along, and you find one of those “honey moments” or even, when you finally stop, you realize you were just unknowingly INSIDE a honey moment (my favorite), I think the effect is the same as if you had been yoga hooping while aligning chakras and thinking positively lol. I think I fully agree with meditation sometimes being a counteractive activity. We focus on trying so hard to “be positive” and “think positive” but the trying hard is a source of stress, frustration, anxiety, whatever. If THAT is the product of meditation, I think we went the wrong way lol. Should I even mention the “there is no wrong way, only a way” mentality? So, now, I do what I feel. Every now and then, it dawns on me to do some creative visualization combined with some introspective thinking, but mostly, I just do what I do, and it seems to work until I, for whatever reason, decide that I’m not enough in some aspect or another. I am plenty
