\"Harlow.jpg\"The \u201cPossessed\u201d column in last Sunday’s New York Times Style Section<\/a> has Shalom Harlow waxing (not so poetically, but still) about her meditation habits and percussion instruments–which include both tapping (as in tap dancing) and playing the drums.
\nHarlow says that drumming \u201cputs you in this really interesting space\u201d that\u2019s both \u201cmeditative\u201d and satisfyingly noisy, as opposed to what Harlow considers \u201cold-fashioned,\u201d more \u201ctraditional\u201d meditative practices that just bored her to death.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a nice change from old-fashioned meditation, which she has tried, and respects, but she says, ‘This isn\u2019t so complacent that it gets boring. You can sit in lotus and wait for divine enlightenment for years.’\u201d
\nApparently, she never leaves home without her drums.
\nSomeone should introduce Ms. Harlow to the Sikh practice of Kirtan Singing<\/a> (Kirtan means singing God’s praises)–a meditative ritual that involves lots of percussion, heavy on the drumming, chanting, and lots and lots of satisfying noise. It’s so old-fashioned that it\u2019s ancient. Then maybe she could add some spiritual heft and community to her unstructured, individualistic tooling around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
