Do any of you juggle? I ran across
this study that shows white matter growth in the brain after six weeks of juggling. I have read other studies that show an increase in the mass and density of grey matter from a similar period of juggling.
I am not suggesting you can juggle your way to enlightenment, but as a concentration practice it seems that it would have some value. Years ago I used to juggle as a study break in college, I remember being able to achieve a real sense of "flow" from juggling. This sense would often persist for some hours afterward. I am thinking how to add it to my practice to use much as walking meditation is used as an alternative to sitting.
If this idea seems irreverent or too far from the wisdom practices that make up the content of this forum, please disregard this post. I intend no offense, I am just looking for ways to progress my own practice as quickly as possible...
