THE MEDITATIVE GAMES
The first eight Meditative Games of The Playful Path are practiced in sequence to develop our fundamental meditative skills.
Each Game is defined by its specific answers to Ten Essential Questions, listed below. This detailed approach gives us a clear understanding of the Game and its value, leading to greater efficiency and effectiveness in our meditative practice.
What do we do? What actions make up this Meditative Game? |
How do we do it? How do we practice the Game well? |
Why do we do it? How does the Game bring us closer to our goals? What mental skills does it cultivate? |
What do we do if distracted? How do we respond to distractions and get back on track? |
When do we move on to the next Game? How do we know we’ve completed it successfully? |
What do we do as we move on to the next Game? |
When do we revisit it? When should we return to a Game completed earlier in the session? |
How do we increase the challenge (if it gets too easy)? |
How do we reduce the challenge (if it gets too hard)? |
At which Elephant Path Stages (in TMI) is this Game relevant? |
