Dear friends of absorption, ☸️
How many things absorb our attention? How many are a distraction? An obsession? A necessity?

#Absorption as a #meditative state is used in #Sufism and can make chore time more #enjoyable. It involves #being fully #attentive and #involved in a #task, even if it's #repetitive or not particularly fun. #Playing #music or finding ways to make the task more #bearable can help. If you #enjoy what you're doing, absorption comes #easily. Absorption is similar to #awareness or #mindfulness in #meditation. The speaker gives an example of using a #scythe to #clear #weeds and how it becomes a form of absorption.
