rainrainMeditation is like drugs but better
No, meditation is not like drugs. If anything it’s like exercise for a very particular part of your mind. It can train the mind to be calm, patient, observant and focused. I practiced for many years. In my experience it does not in and of itself bring any sort of feelings of happiness.
Meditation doesn’t get you high?
Drugs don’t alter your awareness?
Meditation doesn’t get you high?
No it’s a a fairly sober experience.
Drugs don’t alter your awareness?
Well I guess they can. I have no firsthand experience with psychedelics etc. but it doesn’t sound like the same kind of experience.
Well it gets me high. It’s a standard result of meditating.
And yes, drugs, like meditation, alter your awareness. Not saying they do it exactly the same way but yes, the same stuff, altered.
Well everyone is different. I practiced Zazen and nobody ever told me of experiencing a high or altered awareness.
The smile at the end makes all the difference.
