This is not some fluffy post about inner peace. It’s not a guide. It’s an attempt to establish links between both activities and derive useful suggestions for our hobby. Let’s begin by saying I’m not trying to convince anyone to start meditating. Meditators know for a fact what effect the practice has on their […]
