How to Consider Trying Something New
🕑 Added 2023-01-23 08:00:03 +0000 UTCI have nothing against meditation, transcendental or otherwise. It is something I’m seriously considering. I was just amused to see that they emphasized how easy and natural it was, then made it clear that you need two sessions with a qualified instructor to learn how to do it. That was the mental seed from which this majestic corpse flower of a comic grew.
Also, as I say in the comic, I am not comfortable with the idea of sitting in a room with a stranger, with my eyes closed. Maybe the problem is that I have two brothers, and in my entire childhood, any set of instructions that began with “close your eyes” always ended badly for me.
NOTE: Events got the better of me and there will be no new comic next week. Sorry for the gap. I plan to be back on track the week after next. Thanx!

I remember once biking to my yoga class, missing the turn on a one-way street, and exclaiming aloud to myself, through clenched teeth, "F*CK!!! I'LL BE LATE TO MY RELAXATION!!!" Can't meditate, though. Tried everything. Sometimes I fall asleep, though, so you could say it works, sort of.

I will definitely check it out! In fact, I'm downloading it now!

i suggest the app Waking Up by Sam Harris. there's clearly many ways to get there but his approach is spot on for me.
