Alone Time
June 11, 2006 07:18 PM Filed in: Practice
In the
United States, and perhaps the world, it is my
observation that people, and men especially, do not
do a good job of creating space and time to be alone.
It is important, whether one is buddhist or not, to
set aside at least 20 minutes a day without a
television, radio, or any contact with others. It can
be a walk alone, a sit in the park, etc. Being alone
allows one to relive stress, clear one's mind, and be
truly present.
