Zoning Out
Friday, June 19, 2009

I recently read an article studying two types of daydreaming it identified: purposefully thinking about subjects not immediately at hand in front of you, and zoning out. Zoning out so that you just lose track of everything going on around you, staring into space. As long as you are not driving a car or
pursuing a similarly dangerous activity, zoning out is OK. In fact, the study shows, everyone does it, and it is not only healthy, but actually necessary to mental health.
Zoning out is an interesting subject in Tai Chi and related subjects, because zoning out achieves a state of wu wei: no mind.
