Margaret Cho Meditation Techniques

Margaret Cho is a bold comedian.

She is also a meditator. On her blog recently, we got a taste of Margaret Cho meditation techniques for when you just can’t seem to focus your mind.

Sometimes I just can’t make myself do anything. And then I just sit here, feeling bad about it, my inactivity, my sloth. I guess then I am actually active, because I am sitting here, and I am feeling bad, so that is two things I am doing at once. The problem is I feel guilty. There’s a badness that I associate with inactivity, as if time cost something and I have to pay for it in sweat or at least movement or at the very least, shopping.

Is the “Margaret Cho meditation technique” of just sitting and staring and putting your mind in neutral something you would legitimately call meditation?
