Train Ride Meditation

Talking with people about meditative moments, two of the interviewed said that train rides for them are one of the most meditative activities if not specifically meditating. The consistently running landscape, lack of activity for distraction and the transition between different places are part of the experience. Many meditation practices are triggered by initiation activities like for example repetitive chants in buddhism. A contemporary one could be the streaming of filmed train rides. In a try out I added animated symbols on top of the train footage to surprise and trigger imagination and inspiration for your mind to wonder off. Here is a LINK to a video depicting this experiment and other sketches of the Millennial Church.
