Cloud staring meditation
I’m sitting here next to the large window and just staring off into the clouds while playing some traditional Japanese music. It’s relaxing.
I think it’s a healthy way just to sit for one out a day and stare at the clouds. And day dream. Usually when I’m staring at the clouds I plan on what I’m going to do with my life in the next 3 to 6 months.
Here are some things to think about when you’re cloud staring:
1. Career advancement
2. Starting a business
3. Moving to a new career
4. Moving to a city/country
5. Learning a new skill
6. Increasing your knowledge
7. Creating a new life style
8. Thinking back of pleasant memories that is going to make you more grateful
9. Analyzing your thoughts
10. Feeling gratitude for your life
11. Thinking about your human life experience
12. Thinking of the higher force/spiritual side of life
Sometimes I don’t think about anything at all, I just let relax and admire the pleasantness of the experience. I think this is a good alternative to zazen, or sitting cross legged and meditating.
Staring at the clouds seem to be mundane at first, but it’s the simple things in life that is good. Think about your ancestors, the many people who fucked and died and how you got here on Earth. Think of the Earth itself and the many people who live here. It makes life seems very special, doesn’t it? :D
