Reading Books Can Be A Meditative Experience

April 19, 2024 by Alka Dhillon Leave a Comment

Reading Books Can Be A Meditative ExperienceTechnalink believes that investing in yourself brings returns to you, your circle of friends, family, acquaintances, coworkers, and the world in general. One of the best ways to invest in yourself is to devote your attention to longer-form ideas and content. Yes, we live in a world of movies, television programs, short online videos, and even bite-sized text content in the form of social media, but reading a book continues to be one of the best ways of investing in yourself, and here’s why.

Complexity Takes Time

Short-form content—by nature—must be simple and easy to digest or process. In that sense, they are like “snacks” for the mind. They are short and sweet but not particularly nutritious. Books, on the other hand, are capable of sustaining larger, more meaningful, and complex ideas that can make a real difference. However, as to be expected, this also requires being more grounded in the present, focusing only on the content that the book is presenting to you to consider its own merits.

In many ways, taking the time to push out other distractions and focus only on the present and the ideas in that present is similar to the mindfulness exercises of meditation. And like meditation, this is a form of investing in yourself that can bring real dividends if you can retain and adapt those ideas to your own life and put them into practice.

A Book Comes In Many Forms

Of course, we have a lot of demands on our time today, and not everyone has the luxury of being able to sit down in a chair at home and thumb through pages in a book. That’s why books like Alka Dhillon’s The Om Factor are available in multiple formats, including print, eBook, and audiobook. This way, you can use the most convenient form factor, like reading an eBook while traveling or listening to Alka Dhillon herself while you drive.
