For me it's the shower, running or cycling. Performing some kind of physical task that is largely done on 'auto-pilot' in physical space. A more complex task, such as playing soccer, which requires that I exert physical and mental effort won't produce these results.
- BLKNSLVR 7y agoOff-topic, even maybe the inverse, one of the things I like about 'more complex' tasks like playing sports, is the single-mindedness that goes with it. It quietens the rest of the world for a time; nothing matters but the immediate, and it takes up 100% of processing to do it justice.

It quietens the rest of the world for a time; nothing matters but the immediate, and it takes up 100% of processing to do it justice This right here is the essence of "Meditation". No gimmicks, No bullshit, nothing. Stages from the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali - "Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi". You can do this instant to instant on any current activity you are engaged in (aka "Mindfulness") or for extended periods of time on literally any one objective/activity.
