But how do you actually do it.

[@AG-yx4ip]

That’s a very illusive

Would you ever consider playing a musical instrument to be a possible way of meditation ? Bob

[@studybuddhism]

Hi Bob! That's a really interesting question. I think it's fair to say that anything one does to habituate oneself with a particular pattern of action/thought/speech, especially when it includes concentration (much needed when learning and playing an instrument!) is a form of meditation. What are your personal thoughts?

[@bobhurley4369]

Study Buddhism. When you have reached the stage when you can just sit at a piano, with your eyes closed, and simply let notes come out and flow, not anything you have ever heard or played before, just letting the music flow out of you. I think that there might be something going on , that is more than simply playing music? Bob
