spectropoetics 20 Posted February 14 Very interesting article on rocking chairs as gateways to journeying (and other subversive activities). It gave me tons of new literary material to sink my teeth into re: the work of (often inadvertent) mystics and visionary artists. https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/postures-of-transport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1,477 Posted February 17 Interesting article. I think there is much to be said for rocking chairs - not so much in the Eastern definition of meditation, but for journeying. Basically to achieve the "drop down" that puts one into an altered state. The constant, lulling motion of the rocker I personally find can be very inducive to the between state of being. Kind of puts one into the not awake-not asleep moment of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holdasown 46 Posted March 9 Almost any repetitive movement can help create an altered state certainly makes sense a rocker would. Especially if the intent is there. They are relaxing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
