Disciplined leisure is almost a contradiction in terms - how does one not think of it as work?
I heard a useful analogy of the mind being like an elephant that wants to wander around on its own.
In focussed meditation, we try to focus your attention on our breath, or some point inside our body or an idea. We tie the elephant with a rope to a pole. If it wanders too far, we tug it and bring it back to the pole.
In awareness meditation, we just observe where the elephant roams wherever it wants. That is more like leisurely mind wandering.
Not at all. Meditation is an excellent example, but also volunteering and learning.
