i do non secular meditation. each session takes around 10-15 minutes at regular time intervals; dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night, which also serves as a tiny yoga exercise. i'm also obligated to eat something (a date or full meal) at each interval. these are what people refer to today as muslim prayers.
since i started doing this everyday, i became less addicted to work. after each exercise i look forward to the second, and my work is now divided into the time slots in between, rather than one shift of 8 to 5. the biggest psychological impact this had on me was that material matters don't matter to me anymore, and it made sort of a minimalist.
- deanotron 12y agoWhen I meditate I often combine it with tiny yoga exercises - not formal yoga poses, but just stretching and going where my body wants to stretch. What's funny is that I often find myself in a position similar to Muslim prayer (or, if one were observing from the outside they might think that is what I was engaged in). [edit] I bring this up because whether engaged secular-ly or not there is something very grounding about the experience.
