I got to learn a different form of meditation last week. Meditation – where I got to observe a plant.

The plant is observed everyday at a specific time for a week. I get to use all our five senses to observe the plant.

In the first few days, I observed the plant at the surface level – whatever meets my eye. Then the plants got interconnected to memories/ past events in our lives – this eventually led to reflection.

Reflection is one of the best teachers. Reflection is also a form of meditation. Meditation makes you aware and that’s exactly what the observation does to us. It gets us to meditate.

An interesting exercise for any age group.
