Meditation

I was taking a plane ride in Lufthansa from Munich to Singapore just a week ago. The ride was uncomfortable because although I had more leg room by sitting at the front row, I was flanked by 2 humongous Europeans.

The inflight movie was bad, because less than 18 movies were available to me. I watched the new Tron. Jeff Bridges was the architect of the cyberworld where human flesh can enter. He was fighting against the evil programs that intended to invade the physical world. In his troubles, he meditated and maintained a peace of mind. He was able to make better decisions with his meditations.

I decided to renew my self-meditative habits. I used to take courses on self-hypnotism, Alpha brain waves etc. I felt calmer, more zen. External events affected me less. I wanted to watch a Chinese movie today, "let the bullets fly". It obviously didn't fit my schedule because I was supposed to visit my parents-in-law at 6pm. I gave up that quest because not watching it did not matter. True, it had good reviews because it was a political satires, and I like politics and satires, but it had little impact on me. Zilch.

At night, I woke up to catch Arsenal vs Liverpool in the second half. We went ahead at the 93rd minute but conceded a penalty at the 100th minute. It was infuriating. In the past, it would have made me moody for several hours. But it didn't matter to me so much now.

I can also meditate and visualise myself losing weight, lowering my blood pressure, as well as making better decisions when investing.
