In the same way, our circuit training starts with a focused attention exercise for three minutes, and then we go to an open attention exercise for three minutes, and so on. We usually do this for twelve minutes, plus two minutes each of resting the mind on the breath at the beginning and at the end.
Attention circuit training. Interesting that it includes "open attention" periods where you let attention drift to whatever pops to mind. It sounds like the opposite of meditation.
But also reminds me in a way of this performance/experiential art I heard about on Note to Self podcast where you put on noise canceling headphones for an hour or two in a big room with tons of other people. A cognitive cleanse or some such.
