Hello<br>
I'm glad so many people came for social media meditation.<br>
First of all I need to ask if everybody has a phone? or any other device? <br>
The wifi key is: socialmediameditation<br>
If you don't use any social network you can still do part of the meditation <br>
You can use a website called mindfullscrolling.net<br>
But first we make a little introductory round. <br>
My name is Matthias Pitscher <br>
I am 26 years old and from Germany <br>
And I use facebook, twitter and instagram <br>
Recently I am most active on instagram sharing lot's of boring pictures <br>
And I try to be more active on twitter, because I think most of my peers are there <br>
With my friends I connect through facebook, but now only in group chats <br>
In general I consider myself more of passive user, that is consuming more then generating content <br>
<br>
We should decide for an app that we meditate on!
<br>
If you want you can put on a shirt so it is visible <br>
that we belong to a group <br>
<br>
Let's try to connect each other over the internet <br>
Connect to the network SocialMediaMeditation <br>
then go to your browser and open the website socialmediameditation.net <br>
There you can connect over mixlr and should hear my voice with a little delay <br>
If you can hear my voice turn off your screen and hold phone into the air <br>
<br>
<br>
<h1>!00000000000</h1>
We will start with a smart walking excercise
It is very easy <br>
Look at your phone which is now turned off <br>
what do you see? <br>
You should be able to see your reflection <br>
your face <br>
Now slowly start following me in a straight line <br>
Keep your attention to the phone in your hands <br>
<br>
<br>
<h1>!11111111111<br></h1>
Find a comfortable and alert position<br>
we close our eyes<br>
take a few deep breaths<br>
in with your nose <br>
out with your mouth <br>
feel how the lung gets filled with air <br>
focus on your guts, stomach<br>
go slowly to the outside<br>
put your attention to muscles, flesh, skin<br>
the skin that seperates you from the real world<br>
Now put all your attention towards your devices<br>
how does it feel? Cold, warm, slick, rough edges?<br>
This is an extension of your mind <br>
imagine it becomes an extension of your body<br>
merges with your skin<br>
<br>
Now focus your mind on the apps on your device<br>
Which apps come to your mind? <br>
How do you see them? <br>
Is it the logos, the interface, your friends? <br>
Now focus only on the application that we chose <br>
How often do you open it daily?<br>
did it become part of your life?<br>
consider your intentions, why do you use it?<br>
Connect to old friends? Look at funny videos? Find the latest news? <br>
what will you see?<br>
Imagine as clearly as possible what sort of content is awaiting you in your stream <br>
How do you generally feel when you use it? <br>
Be aware that these services sometimes give you rewards to maximize your engagement<br>
Like a slot machine they make you feel good - but only sometimes <br>
Like a fridge you come back and check if there is something new <br>
<br>
<h1>222222222</h1><br>
Open your eyes <br>
open the app <br>
but do not scroll down yet<br>
what pops into your eyes?<br>
What grabs your attention<br>
which images do you see?<br>
which icons, colors?<br>
<br>
Now focus on the very first post<br>
What do you see? <br>
what does the person want you to do, to see, to know?<br>
How do you want to react? Like, share, comment<br>
Now Focus on your emotions?<br>
Excitement, boredom, jealousy, regret, fear?<br>
<br>
Close your eyes again.<br>
become aware of your emotional state.<br>
Now, let it go. let it pass. <br>
Take a deep breath.<br>
Concentrate on the next post. Give it your full attention and take your time <br>
Is this post of interest for you? When was it posted? Who posted it? <br>
Do you know this person well? <br>
Focus on your feelings: Maybe you feel nothing. This is also a feeling. <br>
<br>
close your eyes again and let these feelings sink in. <br>
Let them resonate for a while and let them pass <br>
Take a deep breath <br>
Focus on the next post. Is this any kind of advertisement? <br>
Does the person promote any product? Or any feeling? Do you want this now? <br>
How does it make you feel. Maybe you can only define it as good or bad. <br>
<br>
33333333333 <br>
The next time you open your eyes I want you to
only focus on your emotions and feelings <br>
Let the content pass right through you <br>
<br>
Start scrolling down in a constant motion<br>
not to fast not to slow<br>
absorb every post but keep your attention on your emotions and bodily sensations<br>
<br>
If a post caught your attention, just be aware of it<br>
Keep scrolling<br>
<br>
we get into a state where the stream of consciousness of our friends and followers
passes right through us<br>
<br>
<br>
444444444444<br>
Close your eyes again<br>
Keep Scrolling<br>
Focus your whole attention on the movement of your hand<br>
How the finger touches the screen <br>
You can stop scrolling now<br>
How do you feel?<br>
In the next step we focus on our virtual selfs<br>
<br>
Open your eyes<br>
and go to your own profile<br>
What pops into your eyes first? <br>
Your Name, your profile picture, your posts? <br>
What does your name tell about your pesonality? Is it your real name?<br>
Why did you choose this picture?<br>
Does it represent your personality well? <br>
<br>
Close your eyes again<br>
Now focus on your real body again.<br>
Seperate yourself from your device <br>
Be aware that a part of you is now gone <br>
How do your hands feel now? <br>
<br>
Now we will end with a like and love meditation <br>
Find a person that you don't know very well<br>
You can also choose a public person like Donald Trump <br>
This person has an online identity, just like me. <br>
This person shares feelings, pictures and thoughts, just like me. <br>
This person has at some point been sad, disappointed, angry, hurt or confused, but did not share it, just like me. <br>
This person wishes to be free from boredom and pain, just like me. <br>
This person wishes to be liked and loved, just like me. <br>
This person wishes to be happy, just like me. <br>
Now we send out some wishes – repeat after me: <br>
I wish for this person to have the strength, resources, and social support to navigate the difficulties of social networks. <br>
I wish for this person to be free from boredom and unnecessary posts <br>
I wish for this person to be happy on the internet. <br>
Because this person is an avatar, just like me. <br>
