"Meditation" is **any process that induces and stabilizes a particular state of consciousness**.

That means doomscrolling on /pol/ for 20 minutes and the anxiety (or contempt) that produces (call it "Anxiety Meditation") is just as much a meditation as sitting and breathing and relaxing.

Laughing can be a meditation (though laughing for 20 minutes non-stop is actually very difficult). Movement can be a meditation. Numbing out to vidya can be a meditation.

It's ALL mediation.

So, far from "meditation" being some foreign and unfamiliar activity, *we are all already expert meditators*.

The moment of awakening is to realize we can *choose* the meditations we do, and thus choose our state of consciousness.

For those just starting I'd recommend a Heart centered (4th chakra) meditation. That's the foundation for the ego stability necessary for anything more, and Heart is the place of fundamental union of all opposites, the source of love and compassion, and the peace that follows.

Namaste, good anons.
