So guess becoming like children again is the right meditation 🙂
They call that dementia in the Western part of the world….

You never know when you are in the gap…
You only know afterwards that you experienced it…

Thanks for guiding us through meditation, I enjoy that moment very much. I don’t want to open my eyes when I am told to do it 🙂

The gap is a common thing to everyone.
We should not make a mystery of something that can be experienced in the most simple things in life…..

While studying Kung Fu we referred to it as the non-mind state and would go between standing meditation and physical movement when the Sifu rang the bell.

The gap is present as nothing in everything…….

It can even be in washing the dishes or reading a good book.
The gap can also be reached when writing
when painting
when playing a game
when sporting

In fact any occupation in which you can forget yourself will do.

I love the gap.
