Steem and Meditation - Combo! Strange?

Hello Kind Mindful Steemians!

Meditation and Crypto? Really? Yup😊....really. It does seem contradictory, right? For some, #crypto including #steem are get rich quick concept. While others are die hard believers because of technological prowess. Yet, for others #Blockchain, Crypto and Steem provide opportunity for equal opportunities regardless of where and who you are. And yet for others it is the principle of freedom that attract. So, one can argue that the last two concepts are not that different from meditation. I can just imagine @riverflows (@naturalmedicine) thinking to create a GIF combining Steem and Meditation.

Meditation is to purify the mind to attain the ultimate freedom from conceit of "self" as Buddha states. So, YES, meditation goes well with steem (and blockchain for that matter). And to look at it from different perspective, Crypto / Blockchain space is very fast evolving - people devote many hours in a day to be on top of that evolutionary journey. Many are overwhelmed, burned out, exhausted - shouldn't meditation play a key role in such situation. Meditation is not just a cheapest method to relax and wind down in busy blockchain / steem life it actually let you get in touch with our inner being. And, thus meditation can significantly improve creativity not just productivity. So, why not make a 30-60 minutes investment in a day and rewarded with efficiency of same amount or more but most importantly get rewarded with cool, calm head and #mindful and kind heart. What do you think?

SGM (Steemit Group Meditation)
So, @riverflows started #mindfullife community under @naturalmedicine . Discord Server and wallah....we started our first SGM on 1st of May - on the #SPUD day.

See our post about 1st SGM SMD (Steemit Meditation Day)1st May! with few technical glitches and me being the Discord naive. We have since been running twice weekly meditation throughout May 2019. One day, due to small mishap I hosted the meditation from my car (parked of course ) - that story for another day. But that's how much passionate I feel about meditation. We hope to continue our twice weekly SGM - so please do join us if meditation is of interest to you.
