Meditation is in vogue right now, where in years past The Buddhists were the only who ones who were doing it. As of this writing, the entire planet is meditating at one time or another.I can hear The Peanut Gallery now: “Get your facts right, Mike, you cannot make that claim without backing it up. Not everyone meditates.” Hang on, folks – because I’m about to back that fact up.
Everyone meditates because everyone sleeps. That’s right, meditation is really just sleep. It’s true. When you meditate you relax and drift off. Same with sleep. When you meditate you have visions. Same with sleep, but to confuse people they call them dreams. It just adds up.
Effing The Dog™ involves a lot of meditation. Someone really good at EffTD™ will even “meditate in” on a regular basis. And they can meditate at anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Add this to your repertoire today. Meditate a great deal. Especially on weekends, when the demands are even lower than usual and you can slip under the radar (and covers) with greater ease. Invest in some lullabies, heat up the milk. Stay in your pajamas. You’ll be seeing sheep (DON’T COUNT THEM) and Effing The Dog™ in no time.
Sweet dreams!

Sleep (err.. meditation) is the best! It’s nearly my very favorite part of the day. I "meditate" on the bus ride to work, and on the way home. Sometimes I meditate so hard I miss my stop…
very bad… I definitely need to add this site to my blogroll 
I know, I’m a daddy to 4 kids!! I’ll meditate when I get the chance……….wait a second. What time is it? Holy crap 1:30, No time to meditate. I’ve got to go to work soon. Holy crap. I love wine, it’s a helpful tool for meditation..
Sleep is great. It’s my first love. Essential for health, mental and physical.
But as a practicioner of zen meditation, I have to disagree with you on behalf of the Buddhists. What we practice, “shinkatazen” or just sitting – is not relaxing or drifting off. It’s exactly the opposite.
Mike,
I’ve found that a great way to build capacity for meditation is by installing a 3-D Magic Eye screensaver on my PC at work.
Whether it’s a sailboat, duck, or spaceship, my meditation seems to be taking on a new “dimension”.
A cautionary note: you may find yourself staring intently at floral-patterned blouses and dresses of co-workers looking for curves to stand out. I’ve found that yelling “Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky!” upon realization is a weak yet plausible excuse.
I’m so glad you’re posting on this topic . . . as a Government worker, I’ve been practicing this phenomenon for going on, oh, 20 years now so I like to call myself somewhat of an “expert” on the topic, myself. As a matter of fact, I’m commenting right now on Government time . . . from my work computer . . . with my feet up on my desk . . . and meditating at the same time!
