I’ve had the privilege of writing a guest blog posting on Everyday Mindfulness entitled, “Responding Not Reacting: Mindfulness Lessons From The Martial Arts.” In it I describe some lessons I have learned about responding rather than reacting from my training in martial arts over the years. In particular I thought it would be interesting to explore how an action can be a response even when it is immediate, in light of the fact that I often hear it said that responding is about pausing before taking action.
There are some interesting parallels between martial arts training and technology. Sometimes I think that martial arts is to meditation as technology is to science. Perhaps that’s an article for another day…
