 Meditating while engaging with the world is an experiment in focused unfocusing. Attending to the whole experience without prioritising anything. This isn't necessarily pleasant. The practitioner can end up attuning to a destructive landslide, or a brook clogged by plastic bags. While human instinct in such situations might be to overflow with fear or rage and react impulsively, actions compelled by meditative experiences are more likely to be response-able and inclusive of different perspectives. Meditation alone will not save the world. But it offers a set of techniques to engage with the world "as if your life depended on it. Which of course, it does." —John Kabat-Zinn Meditating while engaging with the world is an experiment in focused unfocusing. Attending to the whole experience without prioritising anything.
